And one of the things I am trying to highlight is that there is a difference between sport and subsistence. Feeding ones self and family isn't a recreational pursuit and the satisfaction, if there is some to be had, comes from succeeding at putting food on the table.

The vast majority of folks flossing sockeye up here are doing so with that (food) being their highest priority.

Holding subsistence pursuits and recreation to the same set of ethics get back to that whole apples oranges thing.

As for trophy hunters, I struggle to find anything "ethical" about those that take lives for the sole purpose of wall decorations and bragging rights.
