This probably has nothing to do with this post but I have always thought this was funny, so I will share it.
Back in 1979, I was a QC manager for Baxter Healthcare in MT. Home, Arkansas. One of my inspectors was an elderly (61 years old) Preacher's wife from Yellville, Arkansas - Actually they lived below Yellville, down a gravel road out in the woods, a half mile north of the Buffalo River. Beautiful place, but way out in the sticks.
We were talking one day and she began to complain about the Bears around her house. Basically she said they had a bear proof steel plate enclosure where they stored their trash and several times when she had gone out with the trash, there were two bears there, trying to get into the trash storage bin. She said it was happening more and more often and was becoming a real bother.
I asked what she was doing about it and she said, "I pick up a handful of rocks and throw them at the bears and they usually run away, then I put the trash in the containers and go back into the house."
It has been a long time, but I still laugh every time I think of that little old preacher's wife throwing rocks at black bears to chase them away from her trash because they were "a real bother."

It's not fair to link all hunters together like this.
I agree being one myself but the reality is that whenever someone does something like this, it lowers the public opinion of hunting down even lower and there's nothing we can do about it besides hold the guilty parties accountable.
Once the damage is done, it's done and there's no fixing it.

Can't stand sport killing frickers
The only thing I ever kill for the hell of it are feral hogs. I try to kill everyone of them I see.
Or a venomous snake that is near my house or barn. Anything else I kill I eat.

I remember these guys at Chrysler(shite load of hunters), and they were bragging about a trip they had come back from, they had come back from prairie dog hunting.
I made fun of them, till we almost went to blows, and i continued to make fun of them as people pushed them away. And make fun of them till i quit the place.
Hunting for food is one thing, killing because you have a small penis is another.

Probably the best pork I ever had was from the hindquarter of a small Feral Pig, smoked.
Tasty. They should allow as many to be killed as possible. Horribly destructive - the big ones are dangerous - they multiply like crazy and there will never be a way to hunt them all out in Mississippi.

There is a huge difference in killing for sport and hunting for sport.

There are a lot of good reasons to kill prairie dogs. They are not being shot just for the fun of it; it does the ranchers a lot of good. It's either shoot them or poison them. That said I wouldn't call it sport and brag about it (or even do it really); it's simple target practice.
"when a prairie dog colony moves into a pasture, what they leave behind can be devastating for a landowner.
There are several reasons for this, Jackson said. When a prairie dog tunnels into the ground, it leaves behind deep holes, and if a cow or horse steps into them, the animal may break a leg and have to be put down.
Prairie dogs often carry fleas, which carry diseases — even some as grim as the sylvatic plague — which can be passed to livestock.
But the bottom line for ranchers like Jackson is competition — prairie dogs graze, just like cattle or sheep. In semi-arid climates like Colorado's, where it's tough enough to find the water to keep a pasture producing forage for a herd of cattle, a few thousand extra mouths to feed can ruin a ranch."
