I don't hunt, but have no objections as long as it is done legally, and you are hunting for food, not trophies.

I grew up on a 100-acre tree farm in rural New Hampshire. There were always guns around. Rifles, shotguns, handguns. I learned to shoot, and firearm safety, at a very early age. I remember my grandfather yelling at me from his bathroom to bring him his rifle, and be quick about it. He dropped a 400 lb. bear that was smashing up his bee hives - one shot from the bathroom window.


Her's a rare pic of Granpa Knowlton as he went out to check the bear was done for...
