Hunting - not for sport/fun

[smokey the elder]

I have no problems with people hunting, especially if they are willing to share. Better venison in the pot than all over my car.

I, obviously, have no issue with hunting for food. I don't like hunting for antlers. if you aren't going to use it for food, leave it alone. I enjoy wild game. While I don't think I could hunt (too much waiting around, up too early, and there is no way I could clean it myself lol) I definitely appreciate that hubby can and will and puts delicious food on the table.

I envy those that have hubbies who can hunt and have a freezer full of wild game. I was as glad mine wasn't a hunter because things weren't too strict before and we had a few accidental mishaps where people were killed so I was glad he wasn't wandering the bush.
I would rather be eating wild game than be eating the junk they have on the shelves today though. No harmful antibiotics or hormones . Tastier too in my opinion.

If there weren't hunters in NJ, we'd have an EVEN bigger deer problem then we already do. I, too, believe that every part, if not all parts of the animal should be used. However, alot of people I know are in it for the sport as well as for food. They do both. Like I said, New Jersey had a huge deer population problem. Ask my brother, he got into a huge accident thanks to a 4 point huge buck. Sometimes, they have a bear season as well depending on the population up north.

I never understood why people always said 'if you can't kill your own meat don't eat it' or whatever. That's one of the absurd things I have ever heard. I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but if you eat meat from a butcher or that comes from a farm (especially huge commercial farms) and are against hunting (even for food), well you might be surprised at what you find out.
