little conversation I had

[Valigator]

last night....this girl is a tree hugger from the word go...she lives in London and normally I dont speak with her because quite frankly, " I hate her guts" but so it goes...

Vic I don't normally defend my reasoning for what I do in the hunting arena, but for you I will throw you a bone...I will make it as simple as possible...I eat what I kill, if I have no taste for it I will not kill it...I am not a trophy hunter ( other than the gators)but my inclinations may lean differently in the future...got my eye on a few different species that I would like to add to my repertoire ...but even then I have definite opinions on canned hunts which I refuse to indulge in..I'll let you look that up...I have three freezers, each have an abundance of wonderful eats, I dont buy much chicken as many people do, I eat quail and pheasants, havent bought ground meat in what 10 years, venison, elk, wild hog and geese are big at my house most nights. Living in Florida we indulge in alot of seafood, mostly what we get on our own. The particular habitat I live in avails us to that, along with frog legs which are usually on the table at least twice a week, my guy has a duck hunt this week-end in which we will use one of our three dogs, a chocolate lab, look that up also to gain a knowledge of their bloodlines. Vic we are hunters and in as much as that may mean something horrible to you, that knowledge, that lifestyle and all that comes with it has given myself and my family a wonderful lifestyle and a respect for animals and habitat you may never understand. My son killed his first hog at 11 years old. From that day, my son who had been but a baby turned into a caring loving thoughtful and confident young man he is today. I hope this helps you in your understanding of "why I kill things that did nothing to me" attitude..I will will never defend it to you again and I need no response from you...Val
