You put alot of thought into it. Im only 2 % Cherokee, which is not alot. I have my own religion, my way of living, my way of surviving, my way of getting food. I set certain rules for myself and certain ways of hunting that don't envolve the ways of the Indians. Yes,I do respect my prey, but by wounding an animal for your food is more important than complaining about how the animal feels. Thankfull you shall be for the kill, but wether you wound it or make a clean kill, it's still killing it and getting food so you can wake up in the morning and say, " Wow, I am alive, I can get food for myself and I know I can". It's all in food. Food is everything. The one thing that drives all humans and creatures on this earth is to search and hunt for food. Food should be everyone's most important thing because without it, you can't complain about the way you kill a deer, if it was humane or not, or watch T.V or play games, talk to friends, go to the movies. Food Food Food. Doesn't matter how you kill, you need FOOD. It's the most damn and simple thing I should ever tell anyone. And by the way I use everything on the body of my kill, which is even more respect I show for the food nature has allowed me to take. I respect Indians, I respect you, I respect eveyone, but nothing else matters but food and so you should do all you can to get it even if it means killing a damnbuffalo with a baseball bat ot hammer. You guys are blinded and your grip on reality is screwed up, or most of you. Whats more important, taking the life of an animal for food in any possible way, or feeling sorrow for an animal because you let it suffer???
