Thank you for your answer to my message to you. One thing I may have stated - less that totally clear. So, I'll try again. I have never Killed a tame animal , nor will I ever do That. I hunt big game -male ,mature healthy animals only. my # 1 motive for hunting is the challenge; The biggest most perfect trophy; 1 on 1 (even odds) #2. I am omnivorous- love eating wild things. ( My front porch , is the great outdoors)
Just a note -to tell you who I am; A Tenn. tobacco farmers son. We were probably the poorest of the poor! NO vehicle, electric, indoor water, refrigerator, t.v. and the out house( had little style) and was a ways OUT. But we were really well off compared to ones on up hollow. I never was hungry; Always had Mom& Dad home each day.
At 9 , I took over my dad's trap-line,( 20 traps). I caught mush rat , mink , coons & opossum. It was done in the creek through our farm. I skinned & dried the pelts-sold to buyers . (Not a creme - puff job) It was 2 times a day- 7 days a week. If-- I was not an outdoors man - this definitely qualified me. I bought my first car at 16.( 1938 Chevy- rumble seat) It was something really nice. It was my first step out to the big wide world.
I joined the USAF, 21 march 1955. After a whole world of military flying experience I retired 1985. Since then owned and operated-three other businesses. Now at 82 , retired four times. The rest of my time here will be free as a bird , wild as the wind. Too bad - my rope is so short & that all things do come to an end. The most important - is how one stands with Jesus Christ At this time. My Parents & two siblings were ministers.
