Shoot the Hunter

Now, folks, I'm a die-hard carnivore. That means something is going to die for my dining pleasure and I have no problem with that. That's just the way it is in nature.

But, here's something that gets me madder than a wet hen.


Some deer hunter killed a doe, cut off the hams and left the rest to rot.

If you are going to kill something, I think it's only fair to the critter you killed that you eat the whole thing. Especially, if the killing is for sport. High-powered rifles with telescopic sights, ATV's, heated stands and vials of deer piss to hide his scent already give the deer hunter a huge advantage. And, until we give the deer high-powered rifles with scopes to shoot back, it's only sporting that the hunter eat his kill.

It's not that this deer carcass will go to waste. When I came back by this morning, a dozen or more crows were having a late Thanksgiving feast on the carrion. (That's why you can see the ribs.) In a day or so there will be nothing left but skin and bones.

Yet, I would still say, shoot the hunter who would so desecrate his sporting prey and let the crows eat the old deer that die of natural causes.
