Grew up in a hunting family, learned how to hunt/trap well. Had some of the best hunting dogs a boy coul ever dream of, etc....and then I grew up and haven't hunted since.

The ponds here at the house are loaded with fish, over loaded with fish and we have never ate one. I have killed/gutted about anything and everything, etc....based on my raising, but once mature, by age 30, I quit and I seen my Dad not be able to kill anything his last 10 years of life.....and other old men that were hunters feel sorry for hunting by their end days....

YET, I know plenty of old bastards in their late 70's/80's that still feel they have to kill nd eat everything to prove they are a man.....for those guys, I think they have screwed up; or as Branham would say: "they are eve's kids from the dark side" not knowing better."

BUT, we all must follow our path, so what I do or what you do, really makes no differance; because we will do what we must to learn the lesson of the day.
