(278 posts)I did hunt once, as a kid. There I was around adults who really did care about the environment, they respected nature.
For me it was a profound experience, a big plus in my growth for it took me into the woods, experiencing all there is in the natural world.
People might equate gun ownership rights with hunting, but to me that does not make sense.
You could hunt with a bow when hunting with a gun was out of season, because once upon a time, the reason for hunting was about
a sensible approach to controlling the herd of say deer, or even more so having sustenance to survive in order to live.
But it was never a perfect science, there were always the asshole in the bunch, I grew up in Northern, MI, they even had young prostitutes, poor young female kids in the misbegotten little Inns.
Wrong is wrong, and the endeavor of good is just that.
I can say this, you don't need a gun to be a man, or a human being.
And nobody should waste food when there are so many people starving in this world.
And, women should not be objectified so much by our society, I have a good wife,
and I have many great sisters, and a daughter whom I truly do love, and
that much to me is more than evident.!
