This whole thing was a manufactured story by the PETA types who got offended when the pictures made their way around social media.

Wow, just wow.

Let's just say you don't have much of a conscience. Hope no one harms anyone in your family.

People who hunt abusively are anti-Nature …

Slob hunters who waste the meat are anti-Nature …

Creepy hunters who kill for *sport* are anti-Nature …

No need for anyone to hunt these days, especially to hunt meat-eating predators, which humans have shunned eating for thousands of years.

I am not referring to those who hunt for food. For some, it may be necessary.

People in some countries do eat the big game.

I used to be VERY upset when my husband killed a deer and could not find it.

Then an old man told me as long as the deer remains in the food change.........it is NOT a waste.

Other animals have to eat too.

Did your husband swerve to hit the deer intentionally, knowing that it may suffer a lingering death from its injuries … ???

All of the things you refer to happen naturally also.

Uh, no, that's not what I said. The only thing I said about eating meat is that humans don't generally eat the meat of predators.

I didn't think my post was that complicated!

At one time in Michigan we could not hunt with cross bows...........more deer lived to die miles away.

Now, with cross bows..........they die near the hit.
