Some people hunt and fish to put food on the table. Somebody has to kill the critters that you find in the meat department at your grocery store, so what's the difference in killing a cow that was raised in a horrible environment and slaughtering it and shooting a deer? The venison is better for you.

I have mountain trout in my freezer that is the best fish you could ever hope to eat.
