Hunting or Not

 Just to clarify, because for some reason, some people seem to think that a post, picture or even a general statement means you believe in something or don't. 

Im not against hunting, fishing or anything. I dont believe in waste. If you kill it, eat it. 

The reason I do not hunt is because we raise cattle. I have at any time close to a 1000 pounds in freezers. Most of my family eats from them. Every year we have two butchered. So there really is no need for hunting.

As far as shooting, I had enough in the military and when I do, I perfer targets that I dont have to clean and allows me to pick my weather. 

Any hunting is only to teach the skills to the children for them to understand how. I have other sports that enterain myself more.

If I want or need any deer meat, I get it from son in law or a family member who hunts. Personally I could care less for squirrel, rabbit and several other game. Duck is good, but once again I get from someone else.

My hunting is the regulation of varmit. When the varmits don't cause an issue, they live.

My personal favorite, is fly fishing. 

So in a nut shell. Hunt enjoy and use good practice when particpating in the sport. 

Just for the record, senseless killing for the need to just kill is plain dumb. 

At some point with growth of human population and animal growth, there will have to be balance found between the two.
