Hunters are known for their kill and for their strong conservation beliefs. According to the Ministry of Natural Resources "Legal hunting does not endanger wildlife populations. In fact, it can play an important role in maintaining an abundant population within the carrying capacity of its habitat. Those species that are hunted are managed sustainably.  This management is based on sound science and long-term monitoring. The pressures on our wildlife populations today include habitat fragmentation and destruction, pollution, invasive species and unsustainable use."

Be safe and check all hunting regulations before you head out.
