Oprah magazine anyways.

Of course in the magazine there are also stories about people that can't even eat a whole plant because they feel the plants still feel (they only eat fruit and nuts). but still, if my wife can point to Oprah magazine and start thinking about how we can cook the meat I will (hopefully) bring home, I am happy!

 

I seldom admit the most compelling reason for hunting: It's satisfying. I'm afraid people will think I take pleasure in killing animals, which is actually the most emotionally complex element of maintaining what I believe to be an ethically cohesive existence. Because I choose to eat meat, I assume responsibility for acquiring it, rather than entrusting it to proxy executioners, processors, packagers, and distributors.

 

We humans rely on countless unseen mechanisms completely out of our control. Every week some of them fail us. Flights are canceled, Internet service goes down, the economy tanks. It's good to know that, come what may, I have the skills to sustain my family from what I can find in the wild.

You keep reading Opra magazine you'll have your man card revolked.

if they keep putting in pro-hunting stories I don't see why...lol! I'm actually surprised to see it in there... considering lots of celebs are dems and ignorant fools.

No kidding. I came back from the range with Malusa and of course the wife is privvy to my hunting plans -she comes across this. Not a bad point of reference. And if it keeps me from havng to make justifications to her about it I am all for it.

 

I have always thought the "free range" movement would push more and more people to hunt. It could just, with articles like this.

My wife is against me hunting for sure. After some conversations with her about it, I still can't grasp some of the thought processes that anti-hunters go through. They are willing to go to the store, buy an entire gutted animal, cook it, eat it, rub their bellies after they are full... yet they are totally against you going and taking it yourself? Its like the life of a captive turkey is worth nothing compared to a free turkey roaming the fields? The thought of your loved one taking an animal is too much, even if the intention all along is to harvest it for food? I mentioned crow/goose/groundhog hunting and she really lost it then..HAHAH... shes like you shoot them just for the sake of shooting them? HA!
