I am certainly amazed at all the posts. I feel that the general population has no idea what hunting is about. First and foremost we have never and I am talking about my family, killed and not eaten what we kill. We have eaten mountain lion, deer, pheasant, turkey and fish. Concerns at being ethical should be directed much more to the food industry in which I assume most people on this thread shop. Please do the research on where and how you get your meat- beef, chicken and turkey and don't forget your milk ,eggs and cheese. The conditions of those poor animals should be a topic for you.
As far as my son is concerned keep in mind that he remains a minor CHILD. This means that all the negative comments directed toward him and his hunt are being said to a CHILD. With that said what kind of person responds with negative feedback and such immature comments as I believe I just read one which stated he was going to drape the pelt on his penis??? really??? I guess it is easy to hide behind the keyboard and judge everyone else without the conviction to actually address a grown-up with such childish comments.
Finally, no last I checked hunting does not cure brain cancer. As I have watched my son have about 20 seizures a day, laying in ICU crying in pain, being told what limited options we have for a treatment and praying every night to GOD to take me instead I don't feel anyone has the right to bring up his illness in such a cheap loose lipped comment.
I am more than happy to help educate anyone who is misguided on hunting or brain cancer and please direct your comments to me and leave the children out of the adult conversations- I shouldn't even have to say that= talk about a world falling to pieces!!
