Reading more about this, banning these contests is probably a good thing.
To me it’s not so much about the amount hunted (if the commission cares about that they can issue bagging limits?)
Thing is, they seem to be using night vision and electronic baits which is likely already illegal.
It’s also mentionned that a lot of these aren’t clean kills either, which I take issue with.
While out hunting, it is irresponsible to have them suffer for days when you can take the time to go for a proper killing blow. At least that’s how it is up here.
