HUNTING – “I hunt therefore I am (what)?”
Everyone might have a different word to fill in the blank in that phrase: condemnable, capable, cold-hearted, complete….
Fill in he blank as you see fit, but not before you give me a shot at explaining why an animal lover and wildlife conservationist would chose to be a hunter.
I’ll be giving a program on the topic Wednesday (Feb. 13) for the Spokane Audubon Society’s open meeting, 7:30 p.m., at Riverview Retirement Community, Village Community Building, 2117 E. North Crescent Ave.
Sportsmen are among the most ardent year-round wildlife watchers and they contribute generously to wildlife conservation.
Moreover, animals are delicious.
But those are just a few of many reasons I hunt.
