It seems counter-intuitive but most of the hunting in North America is actually kept sustainable by hunters and the fees they pay to hunting organizations.
Ducks Unlimited for example is not an environmental group. They are a hunting organization that takes the fees from hunters and spends it in sustaining the ecological balance of ecosystems to ensure that hunters have a place to hunt.
Of course, to be PC, we cannot charge aboriginals fees and licenses to hunt when they claim it as a native right so that won't be a feasible solution. IIRC, there was actually a court case a few years ago against some aboriginal hunters who were hunting at night with flashlights and some of the court arguments were about how this did not qualify as a traditional hunting practice.

Are you really going to say that aboriginals hunting a few animals is the main problem right now with sustainability?
Are you sure it's not our modern society filled with billions of people all consuming everything they see?
