I agree with this. I think men have always took pride in killing the biggest and the most, It sure is in a lot of us, and I am sure it was in the Indians that signed the treaty's. That why hunting and fishing is in the treaty's. They loved to hunt and fish ,as much as YOU AND ME!

One more thing , the treaty's I have read. don't read substance hunting only. They just read simple English ," the right to hunt and fish."
