I give a lot of the same answers that you did. But, I also add something that some of you may not agree with. I have said to some of the Anti' s that there is an undeniable element of brutality involved in killing an animal. I think deer are beautiful and fascinating creatures. I am a carnivore. I use my mastery of technology to feed myself. I buy meat at the grocery store just like you. I also go out in the woods and kill my own food. I am intimately connected to the whole process. I go out into it' s home. I kill it. I clean it. proccess it. cook it, and eat it. I also share it with those I love and admire. My children have helped me process the animals and they understand where their food comes from. I am not going to change. and I am not going to allow you to change me.

My stepson' s grandmother is an " Anti-" . I don' t rub it in her facebut I don' t apologize either. I conducct myself as though her position is imature and silly. and it is. I have taken to boy squirrel hunting with me. I plan to take him on at least one deer hunt this winter.
