That's pretty close to my thoughts. I love animals and would have a
hard time shooting a deer unless I was starving but on one of our rides
during deer season last year we actually ran across two guys that bagged
a small buck in what have to be the most over-hunted mountains in the
USA, the San Gabriels. I was stoked to see these guys carrying out
their quarry because they were faaaaaar from their trucks unlike the
dozens of other "hunters" we ran across and the grins on their faces
were quite infectious.
