I actually respect those who want to take meat by hunting. Heck, I do it myself, and have almost all my life.
Meat! Get in my belly!
Thanks for posting this.
...after my dad was drafted and spent four years in the Air Force...Either your dad was drafted OR he enlisted in the Air Force -- pick one. If he had been drafted, he would have spent two years in either the Army or possibly the Marine Corps.
The Air Force and the Navy (in my case) were where people went to avoid getting drafted.
I’m very fond of venison, but man! it takes a lot of time and work to get your own. The hunting part is easy, up to the killing shot. But then . . .
Two philosophies from my and my wife’s grandparents:
1. If you kill it, you eat it (varmints and predators excluded, of course).
2. Only plant fruit bearing trees.
Good Stuff!
Did you see the comment from the moron posted in response to the article?

Rather than “Can you do it?” the question should be “Should you do it?”
There is no “honor” in killing a fellow sentient being unless it is in the best interest of that being to do so (e.g., euthanasia). All of the nutrients we need to thrive can be obtained more healthfully, humanely, and environmentally responsibly from plant sources. Needlessly harming an animal for food or curiosity or any other reason is animal abuse: plain, ugly, and unjustifiable.

BTW, IIRC, Medina is one of the Counties in TX where CWD has showed up. My County is also being monitored, but I don’t think there have been any cases.
Simple. Kill what you will eat, or will sell or give away for food.
Hunting FReepers, I am a city girl who loves to eat yummy wild animals (ok, just the kosher ones). Last night I was sitting in an emergency dentist’s office in pain, watching one of those cooking shows on the tv in front of my chair. The contestants came in and were told to dress in duck hunting clothes provided for them. Then they were brought by bus to a lake with ducks. I got so excited. I thought mainstream tv was doing something so bold, so cool. Bring down your own duck and then cook it deliciously. I was so exited though my Fog of Pain.
But no, they were only supposed to net some rubber ducks with ingredients written on them on that lake. SO DISAPPOINTING. I would have watched that show every season if it went that cool.
Because every animal those cooks sauté or grill was killed by someone. It would have been so cool.
“Because you can’t grill it, until you kill it.”
