How Do I Respond to Anti-Hunting Comments
I need some advice on how to respond to these people:
After she saw my pic in a local newspaper (with the doe I got this year
), someone today blasted me with "that poor little deer," "don't you feel bad?", "you SHOULD feel bad." Before I even thought, I replied "no", and quickly changed the subject.
This was my first season hunting; I don't need people like this draggin' me down, and I refuse to let them.
I became "addicted" to this new adventure very quickly.
I hope to get some advice and maybe some "magical" words that I can use when I get comments like this.
Thanks in advance!

Educate yourself on why hunting is imprtant like conservation of all species, pop. control, disease control, keep them from over pop. and dieing of disease, donation programs feed the hungry, quick human kills are the goals of hunters, an animals overall herd well being is enhanced by hunting, and much more. These positive facts of hunting will give you the ability to educate the non hunters who only see hunting as taking the life of a "defensless animal". WCL

This is what I say to thosepeople: "Do you eat meat (or chicken, turkey, pork)? Majority of people say, "...well yeah". So I just say, "Well you are just eating something that someone did all the dirty work already. At least this animal had a chance"!
If they say "No I don't"!...
quickly say "Hey what's that"? as you point in the air behind them. Then as they turn to look, RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!
