I never thought any less of a hobby trapper when I was trapping for a living. Dont think any less of a weekend deer hunter when I live to hunt deer either.
to each his own
I certainly agree that no one is less important then the other or in the simple sense of hunting are they any less real in the aspect of the end result. And I"m fine with the to each his own within the legal constraints established. But I still think there is a difference in the total aspect of engagement and challenge.
