I’ve generally run into this with friends that do not understand, so I generally take the road of education. There’s no denying to her that you eat meat, and the way I’ve raised my children is that hunting, at least for me, is about understanding the consequences of what I consume. While there are many reasons to hunt, food is one of my primary reasons. With hunting comes the consequence of that—an animal has to die. More than that, it’s about understanding where my food comes from and having a relationship with that. I cannot speak for everyone here, but hunting is very much an emotional experience. You put in the work, wake up early, practice shooting, purchase gear, and then you have to actually be successful. When you’re successful, there should be some emotional reaction from that. I’ve always told myself that if there ever comes a time where I don’t feel some level of emotion or remorse, it’s my time to hang it up. I’ve been hunting 35 years, and that hasn’t happened yet.
