Hunters vs. Natural Competition

Hunters these days seem to not know what a true hunt is. Wild animals of all kinds hardly have any natural range left to begin with;it's easier to know where animals can be found these days as compared to when this country was first "founded". Hunters get very angry when they have natural competition from predators. Those predators survive off game, but it is the rare hunter these days that needs this same game to survive. (Exceptions I give to Natives, real mountain men-if there are any left, and somebody stranded out somewhere.) I'm tired of hearing that predators will ruin game populations so there will be nothing left to hunt. Predators never had game populations in this country ruined and never will. Those of European descent came over and devasted populations of every animal that was around, with the exception of their introduced livestock. Seems to me like these "hunters" began ruining their own game populations long ago and now they need something to blame. Hunters are hogging up game animals for their own use and expect the rest of us to feel sorry for them when animals are hard to find or there is none left to kill. Ridiculous!
