I realize that I live in a part of Texas where hunting is just a part of the culture. I understand that many people look forward to hunting season and will even celebrate when those different seasons open up (i.e. dove season & deer season) by taking the entire weekend to get up early and sit quietly in a blind somewhere.
Fine. Celebrate. I’ve got no problem with it. Please know that I don’t understand it, nor can I really get excited about it because I didn’t grow up hunting. It’s not that I condemn hunting–it’s just something that I don’t think I’d really like to do, because I didn’t ever experience it.
One thing that I do ask, is that you not stop off at the local sporting goods store on your way home after shooting a deer. (BTW–I really can’t think of a good reason why you HAVE to stop off there BEFORE you go home.) If you must, do me (and the others who stop off to shop) a favor and cover up the dead deer that you have on the cargo rack. We really don’t need to see your prize up close as we walk into the store to buy some shoe strings.
