Of course it's all modernized with a compound bow that has pulleys, but it still felt great. Knowing you have the ability to find food and protect yourself if need be, and also the skill to hit a target is a good feeling.

He gets two deer per year and I don't eat beef so that fills our need very well.

It could easily become a lost skill in our society. I for one really like the taste of wild game. And I have some fabulous venison recipes - stir fry, fajitas, chili, marinated steaks. Hubby even smokes it! YUM! I'd love to hear if you go through the class! It was a total blast and I was amazed at how many women were in it!

Turkey season isn't far off though :) I think you are right on the reasons to hunt. My husband is the same way. The times he spends hunting are his most relaxed that I ever see him. He tells me the other animals he sees, what the weather was like, everything. And he respects that animal that provides for us. I have taken to having all three of us thank God and the animal for its life.

It's too easy to depend on the store to keep food coming, but if anything big happened that wildlife would be very important. Now I still have to get out there and do it! :)Burbs to Boonieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11595559242259847506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373462146240321888.post-74711886965702176902013-08-08T01:47:49.808-07:002013-08-08T01:47:49.808-07:00Congratulations!

Several men in our church go hunting, and we live in the city! I told my husband if he can get a deer, I'm all for it! (My mom grew up on the meat her dad got--they were farmers without much money.)

We were raised with guns-we were taught how to use them but we were also taught how to respect them. There were many nights that we as a family would get dad's guns out and shoot. Those were great times for us. Although I don't hunt, I have and I can. My husband is our hunter. Not only does he love being out in the woods, he likes knowing he's providing for his family in the most basic way. He is a very ethical hunter and we've taught our boys to be the same way. Most hunters don't go out to simply kill stuff or to bag a trophy (there are some who do). I would say a majority hunt to commune with nature, to provide, and to know they can be self-sufficient.

My husband comes from a family that hunts and he has really educated me (I'm in that 80% you wrote about) on many of the things you wrote about--that hunters respect wildlife, consider it a privilege, are well-versed in safety, etc.Katy @ Experienced Bad Momhttp://www.experiencedbadmom.comnoreply@blogger.com
