Hunting

Regulation of hunting within the United States dates back to the 19th century. Some modern hunters see themselves as conservationists and sportsmen in the way of Roosevelt and Crockett. Local hunting clubs and national organizations provide education and support for the future of hunting by purchasing land for future use. Some hunting groups, such as Ducks Unlimited and Pheasants Forever, focus on a particular hunting interest. Many hunting groups also participate in lobbying the federal government and state governments to change gun laws.

What do hunting groups also participate in?

There is an active tradition of hunting small to medium-sized wild game in Trinidad and Tobago. Hunting is carried out with firearms and aided by the use of hounds, and the illegal use of trap guns, cages and snare nets. There is some concern that the practice might not be sustainable in this small country, but there are approximately 12,000 sport hunters applying for hunting licences in recent years. In addition there are at present no bag limits and the open season is comparatively very long (5 months - October to February inclusive). As a result hunting pressure from legal hunters is very high. Added to this, there is a thriving and profitable black market for poached wild game, which are sold and enthusiastically purchased as expensive luxury delicacies. Because of this, the populations of the five major mammalian game species are thought to be quite low (although scientifically conducted population studies are only recently being conducted as of 2013). It appears that the red brocket deer population has been decimated on Tobago as a result of over-hunting. The common opossum is also commonly hunted and poached. Poaching of 'fully protected species' is also common. They pay very small fees to obtain hunting licences and do not undergo any formal conservation biology or hunting-ethics training. Most hunting is done either for sport or commercial profit. In addition, the local wildlife management authority is under-staffed and under-funded, and as such very little in the way of enforcement is done to uphold existing wildlife management laws. There is some indication that the government is taking the issue of wildlife management more seriously, with legislation being brought before Parliament in 2015. To date, it remains to be seen whether the drafted legislation will be fully adopted and financially supported by the current and future governments, and if the general population will move to a greater awareness of the importance of wildlife conservation and change the culture of wanton consumption to one of sustainable management.

There is a very active tradition of hunting small to medium-sized wild game in Trinidad and Tobago. This practice is carried out with firearms and hounds, as well as illegal use of trap guns, trap cages and snare nets. There is some concern that the practice might not be sustainable in this very small country, which is about the size of the state of Delaware at about 5128 square kilometers and 1.3 million inhabitants. Also there are no bag limits and the open season is relatively very long (5 months - October to February inclusive). This pressure from legal hunters is very high. Additional to that, there is a thriving and very lucrative black market for poached wild game, which can be sold as expensive luxury delicacies. As a result, the populations of the five major mammalian game species are thought to be quite low (although scientifically conducted population studies are only recently being conducted as of 2013). It appears that the red brocket deer population has been decimated on Tobago as a result of over-hunting. In addition to ducks, swans, doves, green iguanas and opossums are also commonly hunted and poached. There is also some poaching of protected species, including red howler monkeys and capuchin monkeys, southern tamanduas, Brazilian porcupines, yellow-footed tortoises, Trinidad piping guans and even one of the national birds, the scarlet ibis. No formal biology or hunting-ethics training is required for legal hunters. There is supposed to be relatively very little subsistence hunting in the country, with most hunting for sport or commercial profit. The local wildlife management authority is under-staffed and under-funded, and as such very little in the way of enforcement is done to uphold existing wildlife management laws. Hunting occurs both in and out of season, and even in wildlife sanctuaries. There is little evidence that the government is taking the issue of wildlife management seriously. It is still to be seen whether the legislation will be passed into law and whether the current and future governments will commit to supporting the proposed legislation, and whether the public will change the culture of wanton consumption to one of sustainable management.

There is a very active hunting tradition of hunting small to medium-sized wild game in Trinidad and Tobago. Hunting is carried out with firearms, and assisted by the use of hounds. There is some concern that the sport might not be sustainable in this small country, as the size of the state of Delaware at about 5128 square kilometers and 1.3 million inhabitants.

As a result, the populations of the five major mammalian game species are thought to be quite low (although scientifically conducted population studies are only recently being conducted as of 2013).

There is a very active tradition of hunting small to medium-sized wild game. Hunting is carried out with firearms, and aided by the use of hounds, with the illegal use of trap guns, trap cages and snare nets. There is some concern that the practice might not be sustainable in a very small country of about the size of the state of Delaware. In addition there are at present no bag limits and the open season is relatively very long (5 months - October to February inclusive). As a result, hunting pressure from legal hunters is very high. There is also a thriving and lucrative black market for poached wild game (sold and enthusiastically purchased as expensive luxury delicacies), and the number of commercial poachers in operation is unknown but presumed to be fairly high. This is due to the fact that the five major mammalian game species (red-rumped agouti, lowland paca, nine-banded armadillo, collared peccary, and red brocket deer) are thought to be quite low (although scientifically conducted population studies are only recently being conducted as of 2013). It appears that the red brocket deer population has been decimated on Tobago as a result of over-hunting.

The local wildlife management authority is understaffed and underfunded, and as a result very little in the way of enforcement is done to uphold existing wildlife management laws. There is some indication that government is starting to take the issue of wildlife management more seriously, with legislation being brought before Parliament in 2015. It remains to be seen whether the proposed legislation will be fully adopted and financially supported by the current and future governments, and whether the general population will change from a culture of wanton consumption to one of sustainable management.

Hunting

There is a very active tradition of hunting small to medium-sized wild game in Trinidad and Tobago. Hunting is carried out with firearms, and aided by the use of hounds, as well as the illegal use of trap guns, trap cages and snare nets. There is some concern that the practice might not be sustainable in this small country of about the size of the state of Delaware at about 5128 square kilometers and 1.3 million inhabitants. Furthermore the area is comparatively very long (5 months - October to February inclusive). This pressure from legal hunters is very high. There is a thriving and very lucrative black market for poached wild game, which is sold and sold as expensive luxury delicacies), and the number of commercial poachers in operation is unknown but presumed to be fairly high. As a result, the populations of the five major mammalian game species are thought to be quite low (although scientifically conducted population studies are only recently being conducted as of 2013). It appears that the red brocket deer population has been decimated on Tobago as a result of over-hunting. The herons, ducks, doves and the green iguana are also commonly hunted and poached. There is also some poaching of 'fully protected species', including red howler monkeys and capuchin monkeys, southern tamanduas, Brazilian porcupines, yellow-footed tortoises, Trinidad piping guans and even one of the national birds, the scarlet ibis. As such, legal hunters pay very small fees to obtain hunting licences and do not undergo any formal basic conservation biology or hunting-ethics training. There is suppose to be relatively little subsistence hunting in the country (with most hunting for sport or commercial profit). The local wildlife management authority is under-staffed and under-funded, and as such very little in the way of enforcement is done to uphold existing wildlife management laws. There is some indication that the government is beginning to take the issue of wildlife management more seriously. It is unclear whether the proposed legislation will be fully adopted and financially supported by the current and future governments, and whether the general population will change their attitude towards the importance of wildlife conservation and change the culture of wanton consumption to one of sustainable management.

Hunting

Hunting is claimed to give resource managers an important tool in managing populations that might exceed carrying capacity of their habitat and threaten the well-being of other species, or, in some instances, damage human health or safety. However, in most circumstances carrying capacity is determined by a combination of habitat and food availability, and hunting for 'population control' has no effect on the annual population of the species. In some cases, it can increase the population of predators such as coyotes by removing territorial bounds that would otherwise be established, resulting in excessive neighbouring migrations into an area, thus artificially increasing the population. Hunting advocates[whom] They argue that hunting reduces intraspecific competition for food and shelter, decreasing mortality among the remaining animals. some environmentalists hold[who?] That (re)introducing predators would achieve the same end with greater efficiency and less negative effect, such as introducing significant amounts of free lead into the environment and food chain.
