RE: Its in Our Blood

in #blog7 years ago

Coming from the city and a community & background unfamiliar with hunting, I guess it's difficult to understand, but I respect your reasons... The only shooting I do is with a camera! Love the shot of the elk in the snow!

@ackhoo, @daywoo0311 is a hunter that respects the animals and uses what he hunts for food. I have had the pleasure of eating some of the meat that he has hunted. There is a misconception that hunting should be illegal, but people have no problem going to the grocery store and buy meat that is package from a meat company that raises cattle in unspeakable conditions just to be slaughtered. People think that if there is a disconnection from seeing their food face to face that it is ok. I think that hunters actually have a lot more respect for the animal than most of the anti hunting advocates that have no problem going to a fast food joint and buying a hamburger.

@ackhoo and there is nothing wrong with preferring a camera over anything else! I love these animals! I have a very deep respect for these animals that comes from the type of hunting that I do. I am around these animals for up to 2 weeks and I watch them and experience how they live without knowing that I am there. I see wildlife in an unfiltered form and that over the years has given me a very deep respect for them. I just wish more people would be able to have a chance to go on a hunt and experience it for themselves. It’s a very life altering thing to experience, in many different ways! But it connects you with Mother Nature in a way that I don’t think you could get doing anything else. And to be honest a good hunter killing an animal is giving that animal the least painful and violent death it will ever have.
