I’m interested in hearing what Lemmings think about hunting. I started hunting deer years ago because I wanted to be a part of the process, like if I couldn’t handle killing and gutting an animal I shouldn’t be eating meat. IMO, it’s much more humane than what factory farmed animals endure. Less suffering overall than most natural deaths. Overpopulation causes disease and starvation and we killed off their predators, so we kind of owe it to nature to fill the ecological gap.
Also, I fucking love it. I watch the sun rise, think, record birds I’ve seen, think, watch squirrels play, think a bit more, and sometimes, I get some food.
Idk. I’m not looking for approval or trying to change your mind, just wondering what people think.
What do you think they did in the before times? I imagine you could part out the corpse and give it to your buddies to carry home.
Edit: Or they tie it to a long branch and all carry it out whole?
Butcher on site, make a sledge/travois, don’t do it alone. You’re pretty close, really. Waaay back you might just camp near the kill until it was eaten/dried
