He moved from CA to CO and was very proud to have shot an elk from his back porch (in season). His family eats no grocery store meat but only meat from the deer, elk and other animals he kills. I grew up in a rural area and hated seeing dead deer strapped to the cars downtown ("Hey look at me! I got a deer!) and can't imagine killing such beautiful animals as deer, elk, pheasants, etc. I've had numerous lectures about thinning the herd, keeping the population in check, etc. I honestly believe all hunters utilize the animals they kill and don't simply kill them for the sport of killing them. Many hunters also donate meat to food banks for the poor.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14331569178647292884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838884300056139535.post-18501335821664211902017-11-24T14:43:00.681-08:002017-11-24T14:43:00.681-08:00Not all hinters are using animals as target practi...Not all hinters are using animals as target practice. While we didn't eat bear, Sweep fed our family by hunting elk, deer and antelope for almost 20 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838884300056139535.post-89145650268620811462017-11-24T09:35:02.237-08:002017-11-24T09:35:02.237-08:00Ryan, great travelog.
