Quote: r3x29yz4a said: a professional is still a professional and Jay has a point about hunters and their effect. Your argument is like saying that we can't assume police can do their jobs correctly so we should form vigilante groups.
But many, if not most, police agencies do rely on assistance from volunteers. See, eg, "Neighborhood Watch" programs.
Furthermore, I think you're assuming that a forest ranger is, per se, a more skilled hunter than someone who actually enjoys it and does it on a regular basis. I also think you're assuming that the government wouldn't, or couldn't, put in safeguards to assure that the people who are permitted to do this are properly trained.
