Do bear hunters practice conservation?
Are hunters conservationist?
Hunters are some of the most committed environmentalists you’ll find.Theodore Roosevelt, the individual credited with establishing wildlife preserves, had a deep understanding of hunting.
The 26th president of the United States once noted that in a civilized and developed nation, wild animals can only survive through the efforts of hunters who preserve them.

Americans learned the hard way about the effects of people on animals after the passenger pigeon and bison were nearly wiped out in the early 1900s.
