Can't say that any of it was shot from a helicopter.
You think that MIGHT cross the line between survival and sport?
Just a thought. |
And you have hunted in Alaska? If you have, then you know the difficulties and challenges you face in Alaska. I didn't fully appreciate the challenges because I was raised and taught to hunt in the South. Here in Montana we have some pretty unique challenges for hunters. Terrain and weather play a huge factor. Also, big game hunting is a major draw for our state--which it is for Alaska as well.
Sport hunting is not necessarily a bad thing. As long as the meat is put to use by those who need it, I don't care. Game hunting is a legitimate and fairly simple way to cull a herd. As long as it's done legally(that is).
Not all hunters do it for survival--some do it for the sport. They eat and use the meat, but they don't do it for survival. Generally those who hunt are pretty good stewards of the land, as well.
