Guess I need to see the news. I don't understand why you would get a tax break for killing an exotic?
I assume they're not refering to purposely introduced-species as (what was supposed to be)"game" 
such as; water-buffalo,Gemsbock, and Fallow deer, like those in enclosures.That would be classic...a guy goes and shoots a Wildabeast at a Ranch down in Florida and pays $3000.00 to do it, but gets to "write the whole thing off as...a whatever"?! (sounds like the Huntin' Biz ploy
Surely this refers to those hunters/trappers who target nuisance/illegally introduced-species that threaten the habitats of native species?!(at least I hope so.
)

I haven't seen the report but I would almost bet it has something to do with business men taking their clients on a hunting trip and then writing it off as a business expense. Just my guess.
If that is the case I see no difference in that and taking your client out to dinner and writing it off

I agree and none of it should be allowable. It is the cost of doing business just like buying pencils! In my opinion this is the most missused tax break of any short of susidizing.

I realize tax write-offs help a lot. But they are also abused a lot.

I like the write offs also.
If it is a rule, I play the game.
Bring on the national sales tax. I would honestly pay more to et rid of the IRS and the hassles it causes the the people, the economy, and the enlargement of government.

You make my point. It has become a game of see what I can get away with. Honestly I don't see how some people sleep at night with some of the games they play.

John,
For those of us who had to work to pay taxes so those that do not pay could sit in front of the BIG SCREEN last night, tell us the story.
