As you may have noticed, I put up a new poll this morning.
The old poll definitely generated some interesting responses. Seems like opinions were pretty evenly split, with about half of you agreeing that it’s OK to take a kid on a “guaranteed” hunt for a taste of success, versus the other half who thought a kid should have a “real” hunting experience and learn that killing something is a rare reward. The final tally, for those who like numbers, was 23 in favor vs 22 against.
As I said before, I am still a little ambivalent. I’d hoped for some overwhelmingly convincing argument one way or another, but there ya go… that’s what makes it fun.
I don’t think the new question is quite as tricky… more of a personal preference. Do you “hunt horns”, or are you just out to fill the freezer? Shoot the little ones or let them grow? I’d love to hear if someone has an ethics aspect to their argument, one way or the other, though. That should be interesting.
As usual, I’ll let the poll run a while before I chime in with my own opinions. Thanks, in advance, to all who participate!
