I've only harvested one animal ever and that was a chicken that was rased for food much like when we harvest crops for food or feed for animals.

SH91- I kill varmints in my yard all summer. I don't eat them either. It's cool that you skinned him though. Nothing wrong with what you are doing.

Regarding what I do to varmints in my yard....

#1 What's the difference if I kill them with posion, traps or my Jackhammers?
#2 I'm not going to poison them and let the chemicals get into my eco system.
#3 I'm not going to trap them and have my 2.5 year old get his fingers into that.
#4 It's great practice for hunting big game.
#5 They are constantly mocking me!!!!!! LOL
