I only hunt out of necessity and duty to my family.
Nonetheless, I greatly value the ability to hunt and fish, as there have been times in my life where these skills were a matter of life and death.
I hate to kill anything unnecessarily (except roaches, flies, mosquitoes and opossums) - perhaps because my earliest teacher was an Apache medicine man who taught me that all life was connected and interrelated.
-But - it is shameful not to kill when it is necessary or to kill poorly and allow unnecessary suffering.
I find it soothing to collect and restore weapons and tools from the past and allow them to be used again.
I like reloading all of the various cartridges - at least partially because I am a cheap type.
I have enjoyed being out in the woods. Then again, I have enjoyed being almost everywhere that I have been.
I never expected to live past my teens and those ended long,long ago.
Enjoy it all... .
