We should use them for people management. If any species needs to be managed it's humans.

As would I. That said...

You and I obviously come from a much different place when it comes to what constitutes entertainment.

IMO, the best way to "take" big, dangerous game.

Actually, I was giving you a gold star for knowing where meat came from.

OK, my response above was made in an effort to maintain some level of collegiality since I'm back. However, I must be honest. Unless one has a commercial refrigerator and generator on the back of the pickup or one rents a reefer truck and can get it out inti the middle of the woods...by the time you get the carcass back home, on the hook, skinned, drained, cut up, packaged and frozen...it's too late. We all know that "gamey" taste is really rot. And even if you get the carcass right into the reefer, if you don't skin it first, the "venison" still ends up tasting like rotting deer ass.

So I do prefer the organic beef. And will happily continue to take a pass on the macabre entertainment value of it all.

You don't like 'aged' beef then? 'Rot' isn't exactly a scientific term. Some changes-over-time are worse than other.

Sounds like you have never had any well prepared venison.

If you've never bowhunted for whitetails during the rut or hunted turkeys in the Spring, you wouldn't understand the thrill. I've done lots of fun, exhilarating things in my life from skiing to windsurfing to mountain biking to mountain climbing to photo safaris in Kenya, but rattling in a big whitetail buck during the rut is close to the top of the list when it comes to excitement.

True dat. My kids never once ate a beef hamburger or a beef steak in our house in their first 18 years of life. When they'd eat commercial beef hamburgers at a friend's house, they'd come up saying how gross they were (greasy and flavorless).

I dunno finn...seems to me depriving a child of a cheesburger, and particularly here in Chicago, an Italian beef sandwich with sweet peppers, is grounds for a child protective services neglect report.
