I consider it both a sport and food. People that hunt purely for food are usually dirt poor and that's the only protein they're likely to get. My father worked for the forestry department for a while after college. They regularly caught poachers but he said there were a few families they turned a blind eye to. This was back in the 50s and there were some real hillbillies that lived off-grid in shacks like in the movies. They might shoot something out of season but they ate all of it and it wasn't about it's rack or to tell a story. They were on the brink of starvation. On the other hand, I've seen jerks that bait, road hunt or shoot at every sound not knowing what they're throwing lead at. I've seen belly shot does during buck only season. Heard about people shooting their hunting partner, shooting bright red trucks by accident, rancher's cattle. We had a city boy in Maine shoot a moose thinking it was a deer bragging about the size of the antlers. (He paid a lot for that mistake). I joke I'm an anti hunting hunter. I think half or more of the people out there shouldn't be out there. It's evolved into some inadequacy compensation deal. I see it here all the time. As the season gets closer to ending, they get more desperate to fill their tag. They start cheating, trespassing etc. I don't even hunt my own land anymore. I learned that deer and turkey live for decades. They are like my pets. If I let them live, I can enjoy them day after day and watch them get bigger year after year. They reward me that way but also dropping their sheds so I have a nice collection showing their progress.
