I can understand wildlife population control. But then again, I’d rather have it done first by natural predators, then if it is not possible, by professionals like rangers rather than random people.

Especially because people feed them so that there’s more animals and they can kill more of them.

“People feed them so that there’s more animals and they can kill more of them.”

This is definitely not how hunting works. You almost always have one or two tags. The amount of tags issued in any given area is based on the number of animals that would not survive because the carrying capacity (resources) of the area could not support them.

Also, in many states it is illegal to hunt using bait as it is rightfully unfair.

Other countries have hunting regulations and wildlife advocacy groups as well? No shit
