I try turning the tables and ask my kids what they think would happen if there weren't any rules for the seasons. Once they realize that the wildlife would disappear, they get the point and start being more respectful.

We’re obviously talking to someone that has zero experience. It is hard to make them understand in a sentence.
When I hunt I’m enjoying the experience, not the killing. If I harvest an animal, it’s a bonus, but not the purpose of hunting.
The reg’s are there for a reason and all ethical hunters abide by them.

The concept that I find myself frequently explaining is how trophy hunting insures genetic diversity in herds.
The uninitiated often see it as an ego thing without comprehension of the genetic implications of a single animal dominating the breeding pool of a herd.
Everyone understands the devastating effects of a small gene pool and inbreeding.

A quote from Fred Bear……….
“I hunt because I love the entire process: the preparations, the excitement, and sustained suspense of trying to match my woodslore against the finely honed instincts of these creatures. On most days spent in the woods, I come home with an honestly earned feeling that something good has taken place. It makes no difference whether or not I got anything: it has to do with how the day was spent.”
