A long time ago I used to have the mentality that hunting was wrong and all that crap. A few things have changed my mind in the last few years about hunting and firearms. One, in the words of Ted Nugent "If you want to eat, something has to die." Two, take a walk through a meat processing plant, and you'll be more than happy from that point on to know that when you hunt your prey dies with more dignity and less pain (if you hunt correctly) and you know what conditions your food has just been through. Three, you get to experience the great outdoors instead of the stale air of a grocery store.
Ted Nugent may seem like a crazy, whacked-out rockstar with something to prove, but he has a lot to teach people about hunting. Like how he feeds his family entirely on the game he kills on his land, how he promotes hunting and general gun safety, how he sponsors programs to donate hunting kills to feed the hungry, and how he works with kids to give them a life with guns for hunting, instead of guns for killing each other.
If/when I go hunting this fall, I will be getting all of my kills processed (that is, if any butchers are accepting deer meat this year due to CWD) and what I don't take home I plan on donating to local soup kitchens.
