If the only source of your reality is from the one-eyed god then I suggest you get out and take a close look at the "nature" you so dearly love. It is a kill-or-be-killed world. Most all of life depends on the death of some other life-form.

Having said that, killing for the pleasure of killing is just sick. It's wrong. The pleasure of hunting is not in the killing. The pleasure is the camaraderie of your companions and your dedication to the hunt as well as the satisfaction which comes from the actual hunting and stalking of the creature. We are programmed by nature to be hunters and hunting fulfills this need. We have the utmost respect for nature and the creature we hunt. We never take more than we are limited to by law and conscience, which ever comes first. We clean and prepare the take ourselves. We bury the immediate offal (guts) at the point of the take and do NOT return the unusable or unused portion to the site. Since this was not another predator's take it may sit for longer than an ordinary kill or death. Most animals that sense they are dying go to a hidden place to die. Offal above ground has the possibility of spreading disease, including anthrax, to the living.

I include in my personal ethic, never using alcohol while in the field and leaving the land as I found it. Proper game management insures that those animals will always be on hand for future generations to enjoy, whether just observing or hunting. Never eat what you aren't willing to kill and prepare yourself.
