I assumed we were talking about the killing methods here, not population control...

I just assumed that you were taking an anti-hunting stance and painting with a broad brush, my apologies.
People don't realize the contribution to wildlife management through hunting and fishing license fees. some of the biggest conservationists are hunters, on the flip side some of the biggest cheaters poachers/ are hunters.
We have game rules, seasons and limits for a reason. "Thinning the herd" is beneficial in most cases, but when it comes to moose, bears and bighorn sheep there are quotas for a reason. i feel the poaching laws aren't anywhere severe enough in this day and age. Just taking a WAG, but I'm sure the penalty for this is something like $1,000 fine, 2 days in jail and loss of hunting privileges for 3 years.
