KP, I get where you are coming from.

As a rule, I don't really give a rats patootie about how much pain a deer feels when I take him. I hunt for one purpose, to kill a/some deer. I hunt for food, I hunt for trophy, and I hunt for the fun and adventure of being in the woods. I'm not the John Denver sensitive, smiling, singing, love, joy, huggymuffin type. I'm more the John Denver, sniper-cum-nature lover type.

The ONLY reason I always take ethical shots, is so I don't have to traipse around all over the woods looking for a deer. I like to track them, but that only goes so far. I HATE to lose one. I can honestly say that the sound of a deer bleating in pain doesn't bother me one darn bit.

As far as ANTI's using this for ammunition, so what? They'll make a mountain out of any molehill, they don't even need truth to do it. I won't whitewash my feelings or statements just to appease some antis.

Anyone calling for you to get treatment, my be a little too thenthitive for me to worry about.
