I’ve never been hunting. But I can tell you that in northern Florida (where I grew up), the hunters that I was exposed to were not sportsmen. They shot road signs, cows, dogs, birds of prey, and often combined alcohol with their “sport”. It’s quite possible that there were also individuals that were more upstanding and careful individuals, but I never happened to come across them.
(My next door neighbor would put out corn all year long on his hunting property, training the deer to rely on the food source. Then, during hunting season, he would sit in a tree and shoot them. How is that a sport?)
Canned hunts are an abomination. Working in exotics, I saw many, many situations in which an animal like a leopard or cougar was bought as a pet when small and cute, often declawed and defanged in a futile effort to make them “safe”. When the animal became big enough to be scary, they were sold and wound up on a ranch, stuffed into a box, with a hunter waiting to shoot it as it walked out of the door. Often they were too used to living in a house or captive situation and were too terrified to even come out of the box, in which case they would be poked with a stick from the outside to make them bolt. If the hunter happened to be an inept or inexperienced shooter, it would sometimes take multiple shots to kill it.
Bullshit like that damages the reputation of all hunters, and I would think that legitamate sportsmen would do everything in their power to end them.
