Not too sure where to put this, but I thought putting it here might get the most responses. I am writing a paper on why hunting is good. The paper is to explain a concept and tie it in with personal experience.. So what better topic to use then HUNTING! Why I'm putting this on here is to get some help from all my fellow bowhunters here. This is a thesis driven paper and I need some main points to cover. So guys... What are some points I should use explaining why hunting is actually good?!
Population control, preventing accidents, preserving a history, natural resources management, grass fed free ranging organic food
The cynic in me suggests focussing on money since $$ tends to rule the world. So look at reasons why hunting can generate money or save money. E.G. - hunting tourism - recreational purchases - lower insurance rates with less vehicle/deer issues - reduced crop damage - reduced health expenses.. being active, being happy, eating healthy (although one could argue game meat these days is just as full of chemicals if not even more so as a result of crop sprayed diets) Would love to read what you find and write... what course is this for?

Great ideas guys, thank you! I'm starting this tonight and will figure out a way to post it here once it's completed. This is for my freshman writing course, WRT-150.
