Wow, someone where you lived really didn't like Coyotes
Or liked to make coats from them.

They remind me of the Liver King and are just as cartoonish. It amazes me what idiots do for attention on Youtube.

Do you have a list of what animals can and can't be hunted? Sorry if my memory is fuzzy, but years ago I have a recollection that you said bears are fair game If the population wasn't endangered
? Apologies in advance if I'm wrong.

No animal should be hunted for fun/sport.

You can't park here sir
I disagee the Bowmars, Andrew Tate, Tory’s mps,
Crypto boys (but that’s more population control).
People who leave poo bags in the woods picked up 44 the other day
.etc
Though I’d be in favour of using tasers so you could do it again tomorrow and they may learn from the experience

I might have said something of that nature. I grew up hunting and hunting has rules, or should have. Here's a basic list:
* all species have the same right to exist as humans, maybe more because other species don't run around destroying the environment for everyone else.
* Its ok to hunt for food.
* Its only ok to hunt for species that there are enough of to maintain their existence as a species. That would take most big game species off the list if you really look at population trends over time.
* Never take more than you need or can eat. Never take more than can replenish itself in a season or two. Never take all of anything. I was pretty disgusted a couple of early springs ago. Someone came and took every mushroom in the park where I like to hike. They scoured it to the point that I couldn't find a single one. So far, they've not grown back and may not to the same extent.
* The animal should have viable means and possibility of escape. No baiting, no canned hunts, no helicopters, etc. Rich people running around the world and paying for a sure kill, and then running home with a trophy, and acting like the "Great White Hunter" is stupid and immoral.
* make sure it's a clean kill when you take your shot. No taking a shot at anything that moves. I've had a few rounds sent my direction when I've been in the woods, despite wearing safety colors, and I'm not a fan.
Basically, think about what you do and don't act like an idiot out in the woods. (And, no alcohol while hunting. I have some neighbors who make a weekend of getting together, getting drunk, and roaming the countryside with guns on four-wheelers. We all hide in the house to keep from getting accidentally shot.)
To be honest, I think this is more moral than factory farming, where animals are born in misery, live in misery, and die in misery, without the chance to express their nature. Some of them never see the light of day. If I could make factory farming illegal, I would.
TBF, I'm sure many people won't like this post. Over the years, my views have evolved. I don't currently hunt or eat meat. It's not so much for the animals, its more for the overall environmental effect of factory farming and climate change.
Does that explain it better?

I thought I was the only one. In the winter, when I go hiking I've started taking a camp shovel with me. About the first half mile, you can count on finding little piles in the middle of the trail, where people have taken their mean little dogs for a "walk" and not cleaned up after them.
Though I’d be in favour of using tasers so you could do it again tomorrow and they may learn from the experience
Or, maybe a catch and release program where we can neuter them, so they don't overpopulate, but it may be too late for that.

It can be difficult to separate some "fun" activities from hunting. I enjoy being in the woods more than almost anything else. I also enjoy practicing skills used in hunting such as tracking, shooting, and target practice, but can do without the killing. In fact, this weekend I'm going to a 3-D target shoot. We'll shoot arrows at styrofoam animals and pass out a few t-shirts. I go because I enjoy talking to people, and I also enjoy trolling the NRA booth and the Neo-Nazis who run a local shooting range (It's fun to watch them nod and smile while you're basically telling them they're an idiot).

I did say fun/sport. For food is a different matter as long as it's humanely as possibly.

Game tends to be for food and is usually humane. Not keen on the factory farming of animals, including game birds.

More humane not to kill surely!

Yeah, death from parasites and predators is much more friendly.

Driven shoots of birds reared for the sole purpose of being shot isn't really sport. Unlike, say, culling wild deer or rough shooting rabbits.

Culling wild deer isn’t really sport, it’s more like land management.

Define "sport" in this context.
I'm pretty sure that when HT first referred to fun/sport, driven shooting is exactly what he had in mind.

I shoot the odd rabbit or woodpigeon (both pest species), for the pot. Fresh, organic, free-range meat, with near zero food miles, no packaging, and not boosting corporation's coffers, killed instantly and painlessly. I can't see how anyone who's not a vegetarian could have any moral issue with that.

What do you mean by "context"?
Athos

In this context, I'm using 'sport' in the sense of 'sporting', which connotes a sense of fairness and decency. Which isn't what characterises the mass slaughter of captive reared birds (and which requires minimal skill).

Wild deer tend not to shoot back either.
