Yes but some people have no interest in having their children hunt animals. It's simply not something my children will do until they become adults and then they can do whatever they want. Someone can shoot it. There'll always be hunters. My children just won't be any.

I agree with you cyborg. I used to hunt starting at a VERY young age (7) with my dad. Learned to live and survive outdoors.

As said here, there will always be hunters. Vietnam cured my blood lust, I hunt with a camera now.

Do you eat meat?

That is what happened to me. I have shot paper since I was 18, my mother told me when I bought my first rifle that if she ever found out I hunted she would disown me.

My little brother hunts with her three brothers and she did not disown him...

Still, I never hunt anything more than catfish out of respect for her mania.

How do you know that?

Nothing wrong with that. Someone has to buy the meat!!

Well CY, given the state of the world today you are doing your kids a disservice (I think) in that it might be an important skill for them later on. They're your kids though and you do what you think is right, which is what a good parent should do. I was raised (from the age of eight) hunting and eating wild game. I stopped hunting years ago because I just didn't want to see things die any more but if I was hungry I would know what to do.
