Heard this question recently. I honestly can’t figure out what my answer would be. The hypothetical went something like this:
If you were hunting/conservation king for a day, and could promulgate one new rule or change how one thing is done or thought about, what would it be?
You could create a new law, strike down or change an existing one, or somehow magically change attitudes of the general population...
My knee-jerk reaction was... oh, this is easy, I’d make the general population see hunting in the same positive way I do.... but then I realized that might not be a good use of this magic power at all. Perhaps I could set some law in stone that would forever protect wildlife, maybe I could create a situation that would enshrine the North American view of conservation regardless of popular opinion... and besides, I’m sure there are many sportsmen/women out there with a more righteous idea about hunting than what I’ve carved out... I should definitely ensconce their ideas over my own if I were to go that route. Then I realized there are almost certainly 100 ideas better than anything I’m even thinking about...
So, what say you, if you were bestowed this great power?
