[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1806043, member: 40335"] I am the same way. I don’t have anything against owls and I basically like all of god’s creatures. I know that all have a place and purpose. I was amazed at how many my friend had killed over the years just in that one area. And it wasn’t like someone going out and poaching. My friend wasn’t going out hunting them. He was just protecting his game cocks like a cattleman would shoot dogs killing his calves to protect his calves. I am like a lot of others who grew up hunting. When game population’s started dwindling, reclining. I was trying to figure out what was happening. Lot of things like herbicide spraying, trapping which is a thing of the past, loss of habitat and so on. We all have our own theories as to what the causes and how to fix things are. My personal opinion is that the world population is nearing its maximum carrying capacity just like a cattleman’s farm can only maintain so many head of cattle. The world can only sustain so many people. And that creates similar problems for us humans like we as hunters are seeing in our vanishing wildlife populations. I guess the best way to describe what I think has caused the decline of our wildlife is in general everything is out of balance and all man made problems. Wasn’t but around 100 years ago here in the United States alone wild buffalo out numbered all of the cattle we raise here now. And they didn’t require no maintenance to sustain them. They thrived and done well. No fences needed, they didn’t have to be vaccinated, fed hay in the winter and so on. That was the way with all of our wildlife. Was probably that way across the globe. But as the human population begin to grow. It started taking away from habitat and migration routes for things like buffalo. Things started getting out of balance. It wasn’t as noticeable when it first started. But as time passed things got more and more out of balance. Habitat for all animals across the globe human animals included. Has steadily been declining. Oh there are spots here and there where you can still find places to hunt game but as fast as the human population is growing and the more the need for space for population growth is needed. I think eventually what little habitat that is left where you can still find game in large enough numbers to accommodate hunters will be gone in the near future. I use to think that our game & fish commission could keep things under control and all & all have done a ok job at trying. But one thing they can’t control is the world population. And that is only growing by the thousands by each tick of the clock. And the game/fish or anyone can control. It’s out of balance. [/QUOTE]
