To kill the animal is anticlimatic. It is the end of the process. The majority of us have a deeply rooted respect for the animal we hunt, kill, and eat that cannot be experienced outside of actually doing it. To be clear the kill is a must, but the chase is the spirit inside every human being that is irreplaceable because of eons of the human race doing it.

I assure you, most outdoorsmen and women are deeply involved in the conservation and furtherment of the wildlife and natural places far more than the average citizen. Both in effort through work and conservation dollars. At the end of the day our heritage lies in the hands of you- the general public. Please stay reasonable in your views. And know that our public land system is there and you have many resources with a wide system of people who will take you and show you the heritage we call hunting.

To observe and view nature is one thing. We as outdoorspeople are always doing this. However, to partake in nature: to be the predator and prey is something deeply ingrained into the human soul.
