I LOVE to hunt. Every aspect of hunting. I love planning the hunt, reading the maps, and getting my gear ready. I love camping out on a gravel bar and hearing the wolves at night or having a grizzly come into camp. I love pumping my drinking water from a stream, cooking over a campfire, getting up at dawn, and sleeping in fridig temperatures. I love hiking miles in pristing wilderness. I love stalking an animal, and hopefully harvesting it. I love packing moose quarter that weight 100 lbs each on my back into camp. I love butchering my meat myself. I love cooking it and eating it. I love sharing the experiences and the food with my friends and family.

I make no appologies for this. The bottom line is if you eat meat, something must die. Somehow, it seems to me that I what I do is far more personal that picking up a piece of processed beef from Safeway...but to each their own. Still, I think that maybe we have become sterile to the fact that when you eat meat, an animal gave its life for you to be able to do it. It matters not if it is stupid Mc Donald's hamburger or a venison stew.

However, make no mistake. Cheney is no hunter. He is a killer. Anyone who would shoot 70 pen raised pheasants in one day is someone who just loves to see the boddies flop. There are people like that out there, but I do not consider them hunter. He is sick.
