A couple of things:
If you went to the supermarket and picked u some skinless boneless chicken breasts...well,its easy,comfortable,and far removed from the fact that part of the price per pound is hiring the killing ,gutting,skinning,etc done.
There is something honest about doing it yourself.It has to do with being aware of life.
And,something I read in a Robert Ruark book.There are no "passed away peacefully of natural causes" deaths in the wild.He was writing about safari hunting,which is different than venison hunting,but he makes an interesting point
A lion gets a little old,hyenas eat him alive.A deer will be taken by a mountain lion,or it will starve,or get stuck in snowdrifts with barbed wire inside,etc,but it won't die like most of us do,just getting old.
That buck went out on a Good Day to Die.
For myself,I hope I maintain a reverent respect for Life....but that does not mean I can't smile or enjoy the hunt.
