Quote by: Technosoul My first hunting trip (age 10) is an experience I will never forget, we got up real early and went out into the woods, but after a few hours had no luck spotting any game. I really wanted to prove I was a good hunter as my big brother was skilled hunter. I saw this blackbird way up in a tree and so I wanted to show what a good shot I was so I took aim and shot it, somewhat to my surprise it fell to the ground. We ran over and there it was on the ground, I only injured it by shooting off one wing, it lay there with it's big eye looking right at me as if to say "why did you do that"? I felt real guilty because I had to finish the kill. So my brother took the tiny black bird home with us and showed me how to remove the feathers and so forth. Then he had my mom cook it and there it was, the poor little bird on my dinner plate for supper. About two bites worth of meat at most. And he made me eat it. Then I dug a hole for the unused parts so that it would nurish the grass. It seemed like an eternity trying to eat those few bits of meat while I recalled that look of fear that the bird had as it lay there on the forest floor. Sad.
After that I had a great respect for life, and that killing for fun is not so fun. I never really liked hunting after that. | Harden up man its just a bird. |
