trigger the work starts." Before I shoot my next whitetail I must install
an ATV-sized 12-volt winch. Getting this guy into the back of a 2500 Z71
even with the 2X12 TYP ramps [got wood into the story!] was a monumental
struggle.

That's a pile of bull****. You're trying to say that it's morally ok
for you to go out and kill deer because you have to put some effort
into the act?

Whether it's the pleasure of the sport, the taste of venison or just
base bloodlust, it all ends up being the same thing. You hunt and kill
solely for pleasure.

It's NOT for survival and it's NOT a necessity. At least be man enough
to admit that you do it purely for pleasure.

So that hormone and chemical laden crap at the supermarket is jut as good as
a wild animal without any of that crap in it? You sound like that
environmental wacko mayor we have droning on and on about if you really
cared about the planet, you would drink tap water. And somebody tested the
tap water and found in addition to all the chemical they put in it, all
kinds of drugs. Those are from the drugs flushed down the toilet and
getting into our water.

We live in a chemical world. Our rates of cancer is growing every year.
Getting some HEALTHY meat is one way of cutting back on the chemical
onslaught. And if you got a problem with that, go find yourself some
chemicals and gorge on them. Harvesting wildlife is far healthier than
politically correct food. We manage the deer population because they don't
have the natural predators around. Have you seen the sick and dying deer
population in areas where hunting is prohibited? Talk about cruelty to
animals.

I grew up on a farm. I used to help my grandfather butcher animals many
times. And he always had a smile on his face when he did it too. I asked
him once, why are you smiling. This is hard work! He laughed and said,
that it was a harvest! People always celebrated a harvest in all kinds of
cultures around the world for many centuries. He was merely carrying on a
well established tradition of celebrating the harvest. I always remember
that.

I don't feel bad about eating or harvesting meat. I always wonder how all
these whiny little vegans get through the day. They are so negative and
don't have anything good to say to anyone. I also wonder about the person
who has to whine about somebody's accomplishments on the web as well. There
are people, in the world, really enjoying themselves. There are people, in
the world, actually accomplishing things. And that just ****es you off,
doesn't it?
