Speaking as a hunter and fisherman, it is immensely more satisfying and in an odd way, more real. I do not for one instance expect anyone to share the feeling or the belief, but I feel it is much more moral to participate in the taking of the meat you eat than simply to hide it away out of sight and buy little prepackaged products. If I lived in what FOR ME would be the hell of a big city, I could not do this and the artificiality of such a life would be unbearable. -- Brad Coon bcoon@imt.net Somedays when you wake up, its just not worth chewing through the leather straps.
