What does shooting birds with automatic weapons have to do with surviving or having a pioneer spirit? I hunted when I was young with my father. He did not do it for sport but for food, although he would have been the first to admit that he enjoyed the hunt itself. I can camp out with the best of 'em, know how to bait a hook, start a fire, etc. If the need arises, I can survive and protect mine.

Sorry, hunting as a sport and for trophies is nauseating. It has nothing to do with a pioneer spirit or a need for survival.
