1. It teaches conservation:

No one appreciates nature more than my family.  We have the honor of living in the most BEAUTIFUL state in the nation, and there’s nothing better than getting out there and seeing what God has made. My grandfather, in fact, was a science teacher, and he taught me that hunting and conservation go hand in hand. Being surrounded by creation inspires me deeply and makes me want to keep the environment beautiful not just for me, but the animals, too.
