understanding how unique it is to america. - to say that hunting and conservation are intertwined... - is an absolute fact. - it is an absolute fact, but it is a really painful admission that we are the masters of this environment, whether we like it or not. - as thinking beings, we're the only ones in the food chain that understand the consequences of the imbalance. and, therefore, we do have a right to take care of this thing and manage it. when it comes to animals that can alter their environment, we're unique. - you know, i'm not a hunter, obviously... - we hunted all day today. if you take a shit, you're a shitter. [laughter] - my daddy didn't take me for the long one. - it is what it is. - you shot that pheasant. we're eating that pheasant. there's no closer connection to food almost than that. - i think there's a fundamental misunderstanding by people that don't hunt or people that call themselves "animal activists" that we don't love animals as much as they do,
