If Im going to eat it then I damn well should be able to kill it.

I have yet to hunt. Mind you, Im no stranger to the “meet your meat” practice- having butchered plenty of fowl in my day I am humbled by the periods in which I respectfully raised/slaughtered chickens for food. These enriching experiences have instilled in me a heavy gratitude as well as fostered what I believe to be a crucial connection. Also, last but certainly not least important- the meat tasted bounds better, beyond compare really. But killing a chicken vs. hunting wild game…its got to be phenomenally different right?
Reading this article in the NY Times the other night made me flush with envy. I want to hunt. Damn these folks that have a hunting club! I want a hunting club. Shit shit. This has long been on a list of skills I would like to acquire- right up there next to fly fishing and trying my hand at home brewed beer. Maybe this article will light a fire under my ass? Hope so.

Completely agree. I’m a really bizarre vegetarian and am very pro hunting and would have no problem eating meat if I was the one to kill it and butcher it. Want to go deer hunting next season.
