You are right kabong, never thought much about it but the hunters I know are very much in tune with nature. One of them repeats an old native American prayer of thanks and blessing for the animal when he makes a kill. I made the decision many years ago never to hunt again. I was tempted a few years ago when my friends in Maine decided to go hunting with black powder weapons but after I took a few target shots I realized I'd have trouble shooting the side of a barn with a muzzle loaded musket I left it to the pros. I can empathize with those who are anti hunting, I think irresponsible hunters give that group plenty of fodder but in my state the government has hired professional hunters on occasion if the deer population explodes which tends to have them starve to death in the winter and numerous auto accidents. Venison isn't a bad meat, but not amongst my favorites. Huntings not my cup of tea but if you are a responsible hunter or live off the grid and feed your family, have at her. If you are in the woods to kill things and leave them to rot, your an asshole.

Talk about blending in to the environment. The fall colours are the colours of this animal at this time of year.



A coyote pair from last winter. You can really see the male/female subtle differences. Just like dogs, one did not like the other one being that close for a second.
