then you should really fish with me sometime..
your point is well taken. but honestly can pride justify an easy kill? taking life is taking life. but can one really feel it is ok to have that life handed to you.
whether in the overall scheme of thing my opinions matter or not. it's my strong opinion that, if you are not willing to earn taking a life. you shouldn't take that life.
put it this way.. (it's a bad comparison i know) if you get in a shoot out with another armed man. and survive. that MIGHT be something to brag about. if you shoot an unarmed man. not at all.
the tracking and stalking being the armed mans weapon.
there is NO sport at ALL. you might as well shoot at cans. they dont run. they dont fool you. they dont lose you in the brush. and certainly they dont fight back.
i cant see it being any different than stepping on an ant. you kill something. with no effort. how proud can some one be to step on an ant?
just my thoughts.
if they are happy. fine. but dont expect me to respect them for it. and should their bragging meet with hostility. as far as i am concerned good.
also.. if they hand it to you and go find it and present it on a platter. then say ok. heres a knife (r better yet nothing) now go kill it barehanded.. thats something to brag about.
quick add on.. what you do for FOOD purposes doesnt concern me much. the only people who brag about killing an animal for food are generally people who kill something that feeds a village. even then the orginal kills wasnt purely for pride but to feed. killing something worth killing for food is a different scenario than killing PURELY for bragging rights.
