[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2678429, member: 30309"] The "non hunter" thread got me thinking. Are you for, against or neutral when it comes to hunting? I'll start. I'm neutral. WHAAA?? yeah, I'm neutral. For me and my family, hunting is something we love. We spend just about all of our free time either prepping for the hunt, or carrying out the hunt (even if the hunted animal didn't get the memo that the hunt was on). I share the spoils of my hunt with those that are interested, curious, or love the bounty. There are plenty of people who don't have the taste for wild game and that's cool too. When we do a cookout, we try to have non-game meats available so everyone can be happy. For those that like to say they don't see the "sport" in sport hunting, well I used to try and educate them. More often than not it would end up as an argument. They didn't change my mind, I didn't change theirs and everyone was butthurt (me included) at the end of the conversation. So now, I simply tell them that I respect their right to not partake in the sport. Those that have never hunted or spent countless hours and dollars managing property for hunting cannot be turned around in one casual conversation over a hot dog or hamburger in the back yard. They won't understand the difference in the hard work it takes to own a cattle ranch or run a meat packing facility vs the hard work it takes to hunt whitetails and safely prepare the meat. If they show an interest and want to know more, I try to be a well of knowledge from which they may dip their bucket, otherwise I just offer them more ketchup for their burger. As for me and mine, we choose to hunt because we love every aspect. We have a reverence for the game animals we take and the land we take them on. [/QUOTE]
