I personaly have been hunting since 2003, and never want to stop.

Hunting is, as many of you know, under fire. Number of poeple who participate are going down. In part due to organizations like PETA and ALF. I belive this is due to lies and propagnda. As well as the ignorace of main stream people.

Hunters themselves seem to be portrayed as drunken slobs with a manical attatued towards killing. However, i have never been drunk, and i value life, especally animals.

Thoughts and Feelings?

As such, their worst enemy is a smart hunter.

what do you do with the animals you kill? I think what you do with them afterwards is the ultimate reason why hunters are either given the names of good or bad. Do you use the corpse for food and perhaps sell the fur for clothing or do you just discard it?

The most important question is: are the animals you are hunting on the brink of extinction?

I reckon most would agree that if anybody has profound empathy and respect for how a trout thinks and feels, it's the sport fisher who's been wading in a stream since 6am. I'd grant the same to game hunters, sure.

So little of hunting is about values, we should not get hung up on that.
