I might get flak for this, but isn't this the same idea behind hunting for the sake of conservation? Essentially, you just get a free pass and a karma pass to kill cause you paid an obscene amount of money for the right?

You're confusing two very different things ... Trophy hunting of endangered/exotic species and game hunting(deer, turkey, elk, etc).

Game hunting is a net positive because it controls populations that need population control. No hunter I've ever met would kill and let the meat go to waste.

Also, the carbon footprint of a wild deer vs a farm cow is absolutely tiny.

I guess? Carbon credits dont make sense to me. The fucken planet doesnt know you have this human concept that means its okay to pollute. So I was wondering how it helps cause I dont see how. I guess I could see the hunting side if you are hunting something that is invasive or if their numbers are so high its detrimental but idk how often thats necessary in our lobster pot world.
