Hunting is easily portrayed as an act of evilness, of tyranny over this weak animal.
Truth is, I abide all laws here in the US to hunt. I don't try to shoot as many deer as I can, just enough meat for a few months.
Some people go hunting for killing, as much as they want. I stalked and hunted for 5 days this time and decided to take this deer. I could tell it wasn't a bably, but at the same time wasn't the strongest of it's kind. If it weren't me it would had been taken out somehow.
Most importantly, lots of my friends in HK don't realise how much hunters actually do for the environment. Here we strive to keep the environment intact for the wildlife and vegitation to grow free. Hunting, just like gardening is a method for us to manage our wildlife.
Deer is overpopulated in Texas. They compete with not only cattle for food, but they also compete with each other, starving each other out and in other words, if people didn't hunt them, they would be like rabbits in Australia... they would eat up ALL the resources.
I practice hard to know how my rifle shoots. I never let animals suffer from a bad shot, I hate that. For this deer, I took it with a shot through both shoulders, both lungs and heart. It did not live in much pain.
Hunting is much more than what most animal rights groups try to portrey. Hunting with land owners are probably the sole forces in protecting the environment here in the US.
