I'm interested in hearing what Lemmings think about hunting. I started hunting deer years ago because I wanted to be a part of the process, like if I couldn't handle killing and gutting an animal I shouldn't be eating meat. IMO, it's much more humane than what factory farmed animals endure. Less suffering overall than most natural deaths. Overpopulation causes disease and starvation and we killed off their predators, so we kind of owe it to nature to fill the ecological gap.

Also, I fucking love it. I watch the sun rise, think, record birds I've seen, think, watch squirrels play, think a bit more, and sometimes, I get some food.

Idk. I'm not looking for approval or trying to change your mind, just wondering what people think.

As much as I'm not a fan of hunting, I realize it's a necessity to keep the population in check. I'm not anti gun or anything, but I personally feel you should have to use a bow. The level of rifles now is absolutely insane and it's not even a challenge anymore. Bows are pretty bad as well now a days, but at least your much more range limted and it takes a lot more skill. But I guess a bullet could be less suffering depending on the shot. I guess I'm not against it, and I understand why, it just isn't my thing.
