I can understand controlling animal population, I just don’t understand how it is fun to kill something. I’d kill to feed my family but it would never be any fun.

I don’t think it would be fun either. Except maybe for the wild pigs that can hurt you. We can get way too many of those in Texas.

Plus a lot of deer. They seem to know they are pretty safe in the town limits too, saw one at the bank the other day, trimming the hedges.

If hunters found it “fun” to kill, they could just get a job at a slaughterhouse.

Hunting is about much more than killing. If you really want to understand it, read “Meditations on Hunting” by Jose Otega Y Gasset.
