Check out the laws in your area. Each state is a little different.

Most hunting licenses use a portion of the proceeds for conservation, management, and to help the animal population. Many hunters and fishermen can also add to the basic license fee by purchasing a "stamp" which directly funds the conservation efforts.
Many hunts are limited to gender, age, size of the animal to promote population growth or control, and to protect breeding mothers or young animals.
The hunting laws are different depending on the area, and the animal, so you will need to do some specific research into the laws in your area.
Many of the most avid gamesmen are also the most dedication conservationists and are committed to protecting our open areas and wild animal populations.
