One of my thoughts before a hunting trip

Right now, as I type this, there are some geese living their lives that will be killed next week, due to me. Those birds have moved through the years, traveled across unknowable distances, and honed their instincts for survival…and in a few days I will travel a far distance and cause our timelines to intersect and they will be no more.
It is sobering, and humbling, for me to consider.

Are you killing to eat or killing for fun?

I am doing it for fun, but others will eat the birds.

Do you ever wonder about the cow your leather belt was made from, or the pig your breakfast sausage burrito was made of? What about the chicken that would have been had you not decided to buy those eggs?
I don't.

There’s something to be said for the difference between a wild animal and the challenges it has overcome to live its life versus a domesticated livestock.
I’ve had the same thoughts before as well.
One can have these sobering reminders without being a soft liberal pansy. Don’t get your feathers too ruffled.

As hunters our awareness and appreciation for the animals we hunt far exceed any other person that consumes anything.
Also keep in mind that being ethically harvested by a hunter is probably the easiest fate any of those animals will experience in the wild.

This. Everytime I watch those animal shows in Africa with the african wild dogs tearing apart their prey while it is still alive and screaming makes me think that a clean shot to the vitals is the best fate they can have.

The older I get, the more I think of this.
