Think of it this way - if it were not a crime to kill bald eagles, would you shoot one for target practice? Most people wouldn't because there is a certain level of respect for something so graceful and awe-inspiring. But you probably wouldn't think twice about shooting a buzzard. Any animal that has lived for 50-100 years on this Earth has earned his place.

I'm pretty sure that a 100 year old snapping turtle is still viable (reproductively) and could potentially reproduce for 100 more years. This kindof throws your 'big buck theory' out of the window since a 6-8 year old deer is going to have the same reproductive capacity as a 2 year old because it is going to get beaten out by younger, stronger animals.

I'm not a naturalist, but I'd have a tough time killing something that was around at the turn of the century or on D-day.
