Default please help understand

I feel like I'm probably going to get a lot of heat here, but before I get pummelled withrebuttals please read my entire post. I am married to an AVID hunter. He lives for it. His entire family lives for it. It'smostly deer hunting, but it's everything from elk(when he livedin Montana) tobirds. I think you get the picture. I come from a family that is entirely different than that. I'm the most outdoor oriented person among my family. However, I do not understand hunting. I've been given the reasons... population control, ect. That's not what I don't understand. To me, I could never kill anything without feeling terrible.
Please understand that I joined this whole thing to try and GET it. I'm not a judgmental person at all. I respect everyone's views and beliefs, I have never dated a hunter before and it just became a very real problem between us over the weekend (opening season). Please let me know what it is about hunting that you love so much. Not technically or why it's legal or OK, I know that, and not about thefood part of it either, I know that and I don't eat it. I would just really like some insight into a sport that I have no knowledge of. My husband just knows my views and gets very defensive when in fact I just want an understanding. Thank you in advance for anyone who helps with my query. And I apologize should I have offended anyone. That was certainly not my intention.
