(7 posts)I agree with you completely. My husband and I both agree the kids have to eat what they kill no matter what the game. To kill for fun is very wrong and this is not how we raise our kids. We did eat the cougar from the Arizona trip and will also eat this one if he even gets one. I personally do not like game meat it has a funky taste but my sons like it and they eat it. There is also a program through game and parks to donate the meat to the hungry. We are not doing that specific program because we already know people who want and can benefit from the deer meat this year.
The mountain lion hunt is a rare experience and will challenge him more but I assure you the meat will not be wasted. He did hunt mountain lion in Arizona and I did arrange that hunt with a foundation. It was not a make a wish trip it was a very specific hunting only foundation for ill kids. The meat was shipped home with him on ice and we cooked it up.
We are educated people- not some redneck white trash. Our kids are raised properly. They hold jobs, go to school, make honor roll, hold leadership roles in clubs ,play varsity sports, they don't drink, smoke or get in trouble. I think there are many parents across the country teaching their kids a lot worse things than how to hunt.
Thank You so much for addressing your concerns with me and not just blog about it with insults
