Fishing.

Haven’t hunted in a number of years, ever since I heard a bullet whiz past my head one time during deer season. Nowadays I serve more as a guide (and it gets me my venison meat). In the past I have hunted deer, turkey, rabbit and pheasant. Never hunted black bear even though they are plentiful around here, as I feel they’re just too majestic an animal.

We had a German exchange student stay with us last spring. One day she saw a black bear in the back yard. She asked me if I had any guns in the house. I said yes but they are in a locked gun safe with locked trigger guards. She wondered if I would have to shoot it, as it scared her and she was afraid it would get in the house and eat her (it was a biggin'). I said I wouldn't shoot unless the bear shot first. She looked at me with a puzzled look and didn't say anything more. Doesn't seem those Germans have much of a sense of humor.

(I have taken out pests though that threaten pets in the area and destroy landscape and gardens... like groundhogs, skunks and possums. The coyote don't seem to cross the road and I've only seen them in the farmer's field across the street near the woods)

You can only vote for one, alas. I love deer hunting. And fishing. When the python kills the monkey, none make the claim the monkey died an unnatural death nor do they say the python is a murderer. It is only fashionable ideology that makes hunting to be less than human. I am not ashamed of being human, nor am I ashamed of hunting, nor am I ashamed of enjoying walleye the last two suppers I ate, nor am I ashamed of enjoying a venison sandwich today at work, nor am I ashamed of the venison sausage I will cut up later on and enjoy with a Budweiser.
