My first response was try eating them without killing them. But you raise an interesting question. A bit poorly phrased one.
Having power of life and death, maybe.

Social Media has a big play in hunting now
Peer Pressure - pressure to kill something from friends, family, social media, other hunters
Elitist - Sheep hunters are some of the worst, almost like fly fisherman in their elites mentality. Not all, but there is some out there that have a different mentality when it comes to sheep. I have met a few that acted like they had killed the holly grail; not knowing that people have been killing sheep before their mommas lost their virginity. It's funny that I have not met any goat killers that think the same way. Yet I think Goats are the ultimate animal to hunt and to kill a 10"+ billy is damn hard!!
The "I spent all this money to come up here, I am going home with something" thought process. Who ever thinks that spending money justifies having to kill something is missing a lot of reasons why they are hunting.
I am sure there are many more, but killing undersize animals is a choice that a hunter makes when they squeeze the trigger. No excuses, no rational reason.

The challenge of retirement is how to spend time without spending money.

Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"

for me it’s above pic I kill animals cause they are made of meat.
that said I’ve hunted with fellers who get pissy if nothing is harvested. I don’t hunt with people like that anymore at all costs . Simply go buy a side of beef if that’s your end game. I’m there for me time mental clarity ect . Meat is a delicious bonus.
If we’re not supposed to eat animals, how come they’re made out of meat?

Each point can be explained away somehow, either mistakes in counting tines or judgement length, or mistakes in identification,
I don't think someone turning in a short sheep for CI has bad intentions
Things like jumping fences or shooting beef have more purpose, more intent, and point to a general disregard for others property, goes with the theft from camps , trucks, boats etc
There is also likely a small portion that just want to blast something, anything, to experience the kill, the bullets effect, the blood, can just hope it is short lived.
The point about what is appropriate for size/ age is purely judgemental, if the 'bou was legal I don't see the problem, we know the breeding is still getting done or there would be no leh opp.
To make a moral judgement of someone elses legal kill is also a problem
Never say whoa in the middle of a mud hole
So is this thread about trophy hunting over meat hunting? Are meat hunters looked down on?
