Saturday was opening season for deer hunting.
Many of you know me, and it might surprise you to know that I love to hunt. I am anti-*** in most ways, but I believe long guns are tools, not weapons. So while I'm anti-handgun, I do own shotguns and rifles. (not the point of this thread.)
One of the reasons I love to hunt is that it keeps me close to my food. I don't think people should be flippantly omnivores. If you aren't willing to ****, skin, and properly prepare your meat, I don't think you should be able to buy it in the store.
So, Saturday I shot three very sizable deer. I took roughly 130 pound of meat from them. I'll shoot another three or four (quota this year is eight), and I'll not buy red meat for the whole year.
I wonder what others think of this? Do you feel connected to your food? I don't mean cozy connected, but do you think you have a realistic perspective on where your food comes from?
If this is uninteresting, sorry. I find it a fairly important topic.
