>americans have to pay to hunt and fish for sustenance >have to wait for permission to hunt on public land>have arbitrary limits and restrictions placed on hunting >has a literal hunting/fishing police force to tell you what you can and can't do>can't hunt wild animals in their own backyard or neighborhood (even with bows)Holy fuck. Are you guys OK over there? Even 3rd worlders live better than this.
>>2871799Cope
Are people actually following those rules though? I don't hunt but the rules seem absurdly convoluted and I assume most just hunt whatever they can find and try not to get caught.
>>2871798In every single third world shithole I've been to (Greece, Brazil, Turkey, China, Morocco, Egypt South Africa and India) the nature is filled to the brim with plastic and "people" can't even comprehend why it's bad to destroy nature. The chain of thought is basically : nature is something I can scam (litter and steal from) without repercussions so why not ? It's sad cause a lot of countries in the list have potential for being beautiful but they are just landfills
>>2871819>greeceLol
>>2871819Neither Greece nor Turkey are third world. You don't understand the definition, not in the colloquial (but incorrect sense) nor in the true sense. You're just straight up retarded.
>>2871798if you actually traveled out more then you'll truly appreciate the wildlife of USA and Canadaonly places that are comparable is the Nordic nations because it's desolate and they care about nature just like we do
>>2871798Hold on, brownoids think you should just be able to kill any wild animals you want to at anytime? Ending colonization was a mistake.
>>2871853Yes, and they're poaching in the US now. Game populations are being decimated. The new environmentalist meta is not limiting CO2 emissions, it's a US population of 50 million, 95% White by 2100.
>>2871809there is very little poaching in the US except for injuns and deep in the woods homesteaders. this is mainly because sportsman understand that the seasons are designed to keep the game populations healthy. the laws followed what people were already doing, its not arbitary.
>>2871856>sportsman understandSpics don't.
>>2871840>>2871841lmao cope you fuckers as I said I've been there, it's poor af, dirty, roads are fucked, buildings unfinished everywhere. I literally had 10yo kids beg for me to give the coin form the cart in front of supermarkets in Greece multiple times. I spent 6 months there in a camping car, I've literally been everywhere in this country's mainland. Literal 3rd world country.
>>2871858Uh but they, like, philosophized 2000 years ago so...
>>2871798>3rd worlders live better than thiswrong board>>>/b/
>>2871798>>can't hunt wild animals in their own backyard or neighborhood (even with bows)this is not true in rural areas. Half of the elk harvested in Montana each year (~14,000) is done so on private land...and my fishing licence costs $5...and the ALL the money from hunting licenses goes to conservation/habitat restoration...
>>2871798yeah it totally sucks
>>2871798>Americans have to pay to huntA license in my state is $25. A fishing license is $5. Fishing is better for bulk harvesting if it really is a sustenance issue.>Have to wait for permission to hunt on public landNot where I live. The map is public. Some places are open year round for everything. Some places are leased private for turkey season specifically for example.>Arbitrary limits and restrictionsThose aren’t arbitrary (except in a few blue states). It’s usually decided by biologists who take population surveys.>Has a literal hunting/fishing police forceYes. This is good. The downside is having a bunch of cops with absolutely nothing to do so they become de facto safety patrollers issuing tickets for life jackets and shit. The upside is faggots that poach going to jail. I’ll make that trade every fucking time.>Cant hunt in your backyardReally depends on what your house is zoned for. I’ve shot deer off my back porch before.>3rd worlders live better than thisMy wife is from the 3rd world. They fish with dynamite and blow up the whole reef. I’ll take a hard pass.>>2871809>Are people following the rulesMostly. Most “poaching” I’ve seen would be shit like>Stepping on a fish tail if it’s just below the length requirement>Punching extra tagsMom buys a tag and dad shoots the deer for her type of shit>Rifle during muzzleloader season>Shooting animals on the wrong side of the fence line>All kinds of baiting shenanigansMost people don’t care so much about those. It’s taking more than your limit, spotlighting, hunting out of season, sitting someone else’s stand, etc. that are going to get the warden after you.
>>2871798It's to cut down on overhunting or fishing and to preserve the ecosystems but also since stop homeless or poor people from getting food where they shouldnt.
