>>>It is just an illustration of the difference between being desensitised and not. I'd bet (and you may correct me here if you like) that the first time you killed an animal, you had a different emotional reaction to it than the latest time you killed one.

>>Yes, you are correct. I had a BB gun and shot birds when I was 10. In the rare event I would actually hit one, I would stand over it and feel like crap for a minute. But I always went back for more. Why? Maybe it was man's primal insticts to hunt. Maybe it was me wanting to grow up like my dad. Maybe it was me wanted to be a "man".

>>Now I can shoot a deer and feel a primary sense of joy and excitment instead of guilt. Sure if it is a poor shot and it suffers, I feel bad. But the feeling of a clean shot and quick kill of a deer is definitely one of the top 5 joys in my life.

>I find it laughable. A great "hunter" takes the equivalent of a wmd and kills a "dumb" animal from a distance and gets "joy and excitement" from the kill. You want to impress somone? You want a real sense of power and excitement? Strip down butt-naked, take a knife, and hunt that animal down on foot. Then I'm impressed. Until then its the equivalent of a canned hunt.

I don't ever remember trying to impress you. I break no laws, as it is legal and even encouraged to hunt for sportsmanship. I don't understand why you can't let it be that two people have two different opinions, but instead you have to taunt. You don't know anything about me, so don't pretend to.
