[QUOTE="cutie21502, post: 3168401, member: 112823"] I hunt Whitetail Deer every year. Have done some small game (rabbit, duck, pheasant, grouse, etc.) and have taken boar w/rifle. In terms of "right and wrong". I am a meat eater. I eat what I kill...always. I think that if you are a meat eater you have no grounds to criticize my "cruelty". My food can and often does get away to live another season. Your meat (and mine too because I eat "store meat") is born, raised and taken to slaughter. It NEVER had a chance. I think that hunting has given me many gifts. I respect what it means to be a carnivore. I have a respect for the wilderness. My license funds do more to conserve wildlife and land for wildlife than almost all private foundations in this state combined. And to be "sadistic" in some peoples worldview..I know how various caliber weapons "work" on animals of large size and get to have a yearly reminder of what it means to kill. I take no pleasure in the kill but I know that I have the capability. And for those who think that martial arts is about "warriorship". Hunting has been the pastime of "Warriors" (and probably the prehistoric forerunner to the fighting man) for eons. [/QUOTE]
