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.

Most everybody has been there. When I first started archery hunting at 13, I shook so hard when the deer can by that I could not possibly even attempt to make a shot. Practice, practice and practice. You need to develop a deep concentration for making the shot above anything. That is your only job. Also, go out before season and shoot some pictures. See how close you can get and observe the wildlife.
