I'm not sure how it is where you live, but here in NJ, wildlife, for
whatever reason, is doing quite well. Species that were quite rare a few
decades ago, are becoming common. Bear, beaver, turkey, coyote, are all
frequently sighted. We are doing something right, and, personally, I
can't see that hunting is a problem. Hell, just yesterday, I watched a
bald eagle work a local lake. That opportunity wasn't afforded several
years back.
