My vital stats just to assuage those who might knee-jerk label me a city-slicker b/c I understand and agree with much of what this person writes about: Alaskan since 1972, hunter, shooter...someone who grew up in the woods and would take 'em any day over the *#@*-ing city.

His writing: My profession is rooted in science, as are it's publications. But I appreciate thoughtful and emotive writing...wherein one isn't simply reading fact A followed by fact B...but rather words that paint a picture. This is what I see in his writing.

His thoughts: I agree with you guys...everything is born, lives, and then dies. And I'd much rather harvest my own meat than have some manure-ridden slaughterhouse do it for me. But I also don't 'enjoy' seeing a beautiful animal die...and there's certainly no 'sport' in it. I do it...and my children will do it...but when you respect and admire the game you're hunting and life in general...it's a little sad when that animal dies. Even though that meat's gonna feed you over the winter...assuming you're not one of those idiots who kill and then leave the meat.
