Bow hunting might be different than rifle hunting. Again, I'm not the hunter.
Bow hunting starts earlier in the autumn than rifle.

Neither of my children cared to hunt as they loved animals too much.
Personally, I've only had venison once....but it is a big deal amongst the native Vermonters.

Many people feel you should only kill an animal if you truly need the meat to survive. In that case, before I shot one, I'd become a vegan, no doubt about it. However, hunters will always say that our MacDonalds burger or what have you had a "face" once too.

There is a lot to agree with in your post Senior Citizen. I think a lot of us would shift to being vegetarians if we read headlines like "Publix employee takes meat cleaver to legs of dead cow".
