Well, I'm a bass fishing fanatic, a long time gun hunter and now a bonafide bow hunting nut. I'll hunt just about anything that's fair game on one condition... I eat what I kill. I don't kill just for thefun or the thrillof it. I've been known to catch a spider and let it go outside. If I find a snake in my yard, I don't automatically think KILL!!!. I catch it and take it to the woods and release it. There's nothing contradictory about being a hunter and a fisherman and still respecting life. Try convincing most "tree huggers" of that, though. By the way, most bass fishermen now have livewells, not ice buckets.
