Anyways, do the Adis hunt only how much they need or do they tend to overkill? Do they have ideas about sustainable hunting that has come down from their forefathers?
well sustainable hunting was in place when bows and arrows and bow traps, etc were in place. With the guns being available now, Kartoos, 0.22, air guns, etc. The whole balance is lost and credit goes to big cities i think!
