I joined this site out of an opportunity to continue learning from others, hearing about their successes and failures, as well as the stories of their passions and pursuits. What I didn't expect was to be bashed for sharing one of my passions: hunting. Therefore, I dont need more drama, or darts thrown from those I dont know. If I dont agree with someones ideology, I usually just go about my business and ignore them. Consider this my last post and I hope everyone has a fulfilling life. And Lara, you can delete my account. Maybe Mikeq can rest better.

This is sad to see a handful of people post in such an emotional and negative way about a member's accomplishment, because that member lives a traditional rural lifestyle, that the hunter feels "run out of town". People made him feel different and undesirable, effectively shunning him.
To shun some SCId people because they do and believe different things only divides us.
I would encourage any member who wants to discuss animal rights or the ethics of different diets to either do it somewhere else or, like Lara, post with profound respect for differing viewpoints.
I agree, if you want to talk gun control start your own thread. Do you know hard it is to first get out into the woods, far enough off the road to see a deer and then be able to get a clear shot to shoot any animal. How is a deer any difference from a chicken,cow,pig or whatever you eat. Your choice of meat has been caged/fenced all it's life. Yes seeing a deer out in the open is beautiful any hunter will agree. They like us are all a part of the circle of life. If everything lived where would we be. If you don't like the topic don't read it, or keep your opinion to yourself. Don't bash someone else.
