"When I look down in those trusting eyes,
that look to me,
I realize,
there's love that I can't buy...
thank God for kids."
Here comes the fall and here we go again. Finally, the blood starts to flow, the heart beats a bit faster, and the time afield has a renewed purpose. Hunting brings to my life a completeness that only other hunters can understand. I will never apologize for what I do and I will make no excuses other than I need it.
If you are a non-hunter, read along, you might find a perspective on hunting and death that you had not considered.
To interact at such a basic level as to be involved in the hunt, to become the predator in the natural environment is what makes the heart pump. What can be more right than to take some responsibility for what feeds the body and soul. The friends I've made along the way, both human and otherwise, have become part of my memories. When I am too old to walk the trails, I'll have many moments to relive near the fire. And, in my own children, two hunting partners to share every memory with as together, we live out their adventures."
Contact the New Jersey Division of Fish, Game and Wildlife. If you support them and their decisions, let them know. If you are concerned that your children will not have the opportunity to feel the emotions you have, call the division and let them know that also.
Take a look at HAARM. With attacks on our lifestyle increasing every day, we need to support groups that protect us.
How about some beautiful artwork for your home or office. We have all seen artwork that is nice, but how often does a piece take you back to a feeling you had on a long ago hunt? If you want to see some artwork that you can get lost in, take a look at Bowers Wildlife Studio.
