Well that's all and well (as if ya need my blessing :o)....I respect yer right to choose and will stand up for it with ya. I harvest food by hunting and working with the wildlife management and conservation folks to keep herds healthy. I don't trophy hunt. Trophy hunters suck IMO. Each year we cull a cow elk and a couple of mulies for our freezers. I dove hunt and fish and last year we took two feral hogs and made lots of sausage.

Just my opinion now so don't get pissed at me but if ya let kids eat steak or burgers they should know about the food chain and such.....seen lots of stupid people that still think beef grows at the butcher shop. Kids should know how to gather their own food be it from a garden , the waterways or the wilderness.....just my opinion of course.

Stay safe and remember I want wedding pics !

Rather have a kid eat hunted meat than a awful,crap laden hamburger. Yuck! My future FIL sent fresh sausages, venison,etc. which my mother eats. My non-meat eating is primarily for health reasons. I know that everyone leads a different life and some families are hunting families who get their supply of meat from the forest wild than to be fed hormone,factory farmed meat.

LOL! I agree!

I have always hunted for the larder. You can't eat the rack.

I caught a lot of flack one year for filling my buck tag with a spike buck that had to move his ears before I was sure I could take the shot--legally, that is. A friend was helping me drag the buck up out of the ravine and said "Hey, change sides with me, I'm having trouble holding onto this antler."

I laughed and told him :"That is the big side." Good eating deer, though.
