Hunting over the years has had several purposes, most common being population control and bonding between a parent and child. Neither in my opinion are wrong. Without population control, animal herds would grow to a point where food supplies would be aggressively competitive and starvation and suffering would occur. For example, in the late 1990s, the deer population was considerably higher than previous years due to light numbers taken in the hunting season and light winter seasons. The last few years of the 1990s had some hard winters. The mixture of increased population numbers and hard winters caused the animals to forage low and into populated areas, and needless to say, about every mile down the highway (in western Montana) you could view a carcass of a deer resulting from being hit by cars, trucks and snow removers. This was very offensive to me, and I do hunt, simply because these animals were made to suffer an agonizing death. My second point is simply heritage. In today’s society, families lose themselves to making ends meet and striving for communicative paths that work. This is an avenue that has been on a proven path for years. If it weren’t, no one would hunt. In my circle, we hunt for meat, comaradarie and bonding. I look at it this way; If my father were a sports fanatic, then communcation about sports would be a means to tie communication and family values together. The bottom line for me is that hunting is a good thing on many levels, but it isn’t for everyone. If you have tried it and don’t like it, then I respect your choice. If you haven’t, then how can you comment on something you do not fully comprehend?
