You've made 7 replies to this thread, six to me, and one to Bouticia the Lioness, and you've not used one verifiable citation in any of the seven.

Instead you've stated nothing but your own absurd opinions:

"Native Americans have always eaten horses when needed"
"Apparently many here have not heard of subsistence hunting"
"Neither the prey nor the predator restrict themselves to NPS boundaries"
"A better question is whether or not it was appropriate - a kneejerk reaction either way from pols would not be" (would not be what?)
"What do you have against subsistence hunting?"
"Elk is much better eating that (sic) deer..."

and my favorite,
"Your cited source is less than accurate..just ask any deer hunter in California"

What, exactly, is "less than accurate" in my cited source?
and why the hell would I get a more accurate answer by "asking any deer hunter in California"?

Here are two more VERIFIABLE SOURCES. "Professor"
Both are from the Alaska Hunting Forum, December 21, 2005.

"My first reaction is to say that Subsistence hunting is different from sport hunting or hunting strictly for meat"...' and he goes on for several more paragraphs to elaborate....Why don't you read it in it's entirety, "Professor"?

"I'm a subsistence hunter.And I know a lot of subsistence hunters. Some live in the urban areas of Alaska, some in the villages, and a VERY few live, like me and my family, hundreds of miles beyond the villages. What we all have in common is that we hunt for food to feed ourselves and our families."........and, like Strahan above, he goes on for several more paragraphs, which I'm not going to copy just to reply to the likes of you....you can go read it in it's entirety if you care to.

The point is, "Professor", you have done nothing but blow smoke out your ___ with your ridiculous opinions and twisted logic.
NOT ONE SINGLE VERIFIABLE SOURCE, "Professor", NOT ONE...in SEVEN REPLIES!

I ask again,"Professor"...What part of my "cited source is less than accurate"?, and try for once to list a verifiable source for your answer this time, if you can manage that task.

By the way, you never responded to my pointing out the fact that, ("subsistence hunting" aside), "you and Sarah Palin apparently have absolutely no problem with the shooting of wolves from helicopters solely to benefit hunters', (I wonder how much more you and she have in common?)
Shooting defenseless animals from helicopters doesn't sound like something an animal lover would truly not be bothered about, or maybe you just don't like wolves.
