We have guns but don't hunt. I don't think I'd have the patience to track an animal, but I'm not at all put off with the idea of dressing one. (I have some OLD cookbooks that go into detail about that.)
Mr. Lu lived most of his life on the water, so fishing is his thing. Mostly it's catch and release, but cleaning fish doesn't bother me either.
I learned to shoot when I was 12.
