I've read a fair amount of the exchanges. Well, yours and some others. Some were beyond my taste in language and interchange. :) Do I disagree with Grainne on the killing part? hmmm. Well, I wouldn't kill a deer unless nothing else was available. I don't care for the taste. And their cuter, imo, than cows. But I am a meat-eater. But at least where I live, people not wanting hunting at all aren't the problem. Hunting lands growing smaller and more exclusive are the problem. And the guys who spotlight and such don't help. The ones I know just leave the deer there unless they want the rack. But they like to kill something. There is no honor in that. Heck, they shoot vultures. Why on earth shoot a vulture except to kill something? Bringing the ancient honor to what is hunting is two-way street, imo.

and it's a whole other topic for me. :) It makes me think of swimming in the river. One spot that had a rope swing and deep hole to drop in was perfect. The folks who owned it didn't care, though they preferred you picked up your trash. Not that they did. Now, on weekend nights, you didn't care to go there unless you drank and got as rowdy as them. And church folks would go, because it had a sandy beach and a shallow section for walking into for baptisms. There are pictures decade after decade of people being dunked there. But no more. Are the people there now happier? I don't know. I know life has changed. Kayakers have been shot at on the river. My cousin had a gun pointed at him for walking through the woods. I don't think anyone could ever make hunting against the law. They can just feel strongly and maybe be loud about it. That isn't why the tradition will die for people whose lives have been about subsistence on the land.
