I get the feeling that Blake is trying to answer a very big question with an apples-to-oranges comparison.
Respecting the Sport of Hunting Without Being Wasteful Hunters need to be more respectful to their traditional sport by making full use of their acquired game because being wasteful is bad character and sportsmanship. The sport of hunting has been around since Adam was kicked out of the garden. It is especially a North American tradition.
