Not by the normal definition of subsistence hunting.

BTW I noticed that you ducked the question about taking invasive
exotics.

No, just not playing your change the subject game.

You are talking about hunting. Hog hunting is hunting, in fact a very
popular type of hunting here. That is not changing the subject at all.

For that matter white tail deer are reaching unsustainable populations
all over the country. I bet you think shooting them is wrong too.
Is dying from starvation and disease better than simply being shot?
I suppose we could round them up and kill them in a slaughterhouse.
You think that is OK for other mammals we eat..

I was discussing subsistence hunting. You know, the sort of hunting
people engage in when they cannot afford to shop at the market or live
out in the wilderness with no markets nearby. I have no objections to
subsistence hunting.

I was just trying to figure out where you do draw the line.

"Subsistence hunting" sounds like a cop out to me.
Do you really care about the animals or is it just a way to slam a few
Rec Boats posters again?

A true subsistence hunter will have far less respect for the resource
than a sport hunter. Little things like bag limits, closed seasons and
protected species would not affect anyone who thought it was shoot or
starve.

I'm not drawing lines. I'm merely stating I have no objections to
subsistence hunting as it is generally described.

Just because you are opposed to abortion doesn’t make you pro-life. Your
morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a
child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed, not a child
clothed, not a child able to see the doctor. That’s not pro-life…that’s
pro-birth.
