NEVER forget that these delicious foods were once a beautiful, vibrant and living animal. Just be grateful what they've given you!
sad, was a beautiful thing to behold until man wanted to kill it. sad state
If the meat 🍖🍗 goes to feed his family, or others, I am ok with it.
If you don't want to hunt, don't do it, but mind your own business. You are sad.
The weaker animals and plants would disagree, one less predator to them. Man isn’t the only predator.
Then ask would said animal prefer death by quick bullet or by a pack of wolves or bear, torn apart slowly in pieces. Maybe days of suffering. Body parts ripped away. Torn.
Nature is sick and cruel, not mankind.
Older deer that arent harvested either die of painful starvation as their teeth wear down to nothing or predators like coyotes will run them down and kill them. The quick kill is most humane.

Your post proves we have gotten to far away from the farm. God provides us food but he doesn’t put it on our plates.
Every year growing up on the farm from mid-March thru mid September we killed 2 chickens - 1 for Sunday dinner and 1 for either canning or the freezer, as you can guess every Sunday dinner was chicken.
We would always kill a deer in the fall to tide us over for the winter.
If our country goes to he!! in a handbasket, I would be able to take care of myself - hope the same goes for the majority on this board.
It’s not wrong to hunt, it’s what you do with it after you’ve killed it.
I prefer to make deer jerkey these days, got some great tasking recipes!
Good luck to you in the event of the collapse of the US.
I have never hunted deer simply because I do not like venison, but realize if some sort of population control did not exist for them their numbers would exceed their food supply.
Just one example: During a harsh winter they herded up, numbering in the hundreds, looking for food. When near a highway, they were hit like bugs on a windshield, carcasses all over the road, the ditch, some made it to the nearby field to die. Some actually keeled over from starvation.
Their natural population control, bear and lion, are few to non-existent. State Fish & Game departments issue hunting licenses with their numbers geared towards population control and keeping the animals healthy.
An arrow or bullet, IMO, is a more humane way to kill one than for a predator to chase it down and rip it’s throat out or worse yet eat it while it’s still alive.
The link below shows a bear eating it’s prey alive - very graphic. Which is why I’d rather see them killed by a hunter.

Yes, they are beautiful things.
Some people think vegetables and fruit are beautiful. They even pose them and paint pictures of baskets of fruit. Guess we can’t eat anything organic according to your way of thinking. Enjoy eating your rocks.
Oh, go back to your tofu and arugula over at DU.
It was an animal , not a person.
Humans have been hunting animals since time began...
It will look a lot better mounted to his wall than splattered all over a road and possibly killing someone.
LOL. Everybody knows meat comes from the supermarket.
Killing an animal is just not right.
