Why Wildlife Matters
Sports Afield
September/October 2013
The author has a growing concern for the future of wild animals, for the lands and water that sustain them, and for the future of hunting itself and the future of all human experience with wild nature. Due to their personal experiences, hunters are in a unique position to understand and communicate to the broader public the value of wildlife. For without this communication, the willful death of wild things is merely an indulgence.
