 @bc8a4b39 :) I mean they lived a life in the wild, and will probably be delicious... short of being vegan (which im not either) its probably the most ethical way to get meat.

The **only** reason im ok with guns but dont hunt is because I would feel way too bad to look something in the eye and kill it.. Even if objectively the way I normally eat meat is worse and literally tortures the animals in some cases... but I guess out of sight out of mind...

But yea either way your good :) enjoy your dinner. 
 @b05df304 I was raised on deer, elk, bear and game birds. I had my first cow hamburger when I was 14, lol. But I totally know what you mean. 
 @bc8a4b39 My expiernce is a bit different. I grew up int he city with my single mom with little or no exposure to rural life (though i myself always prefered being in nature so we did spent a lot of time for fun int he mountains, but never hunting).

When I got older long after I moved out my mom married a rich man, my step dad now. He was born and raised in the middle of nowhere in montana... So ever since I moved out my freezer has pretty much been non-stop stuffed with elk, deer and other stuff.

While I still dont hunt cause I just dont have the heart for it I have some exposure to it through him. He also raised cattle and horses on his farm so im familiar with the meat industry through that. 
 @b05df304 very interesting!
