I was raised with the philosophy of the thrill/sportsmanship is in the hunt, and you do not kill something just for the sake of killing it...like for a "trophy"! Venison has fed mankind since we became meat eaters. I have far more respect for someone who goes on a so called "meat hunt"(?) than an alleged hunter who is seeking a trophy buck at a feeding station. Side note: As a photographer, I'd love to know what you were wearing that covered your scent and visibility so well that a "dumb" doe was close enough for you to poke it with your rifle. Also, why would anyone scare away a doe since does attract bucks; not to mention, when one deer takes off, the others are are usually right behind it. As others have said, you risked the lives of others with your distracted driving. When your child has questions about hunting, you should answer them, not try to be an amateur paparazzi. Last, but definitely not least, if you indeed have firearms in the house, enroll your 8 year old in a children's firearm safety class (NRA Eddie Eagle, for example). From your posted photos and comments, you are not the one who should teach her about weaponry.

Thanks to the op for showing us some successful hunters. I'll bet you never had meat without steroids and growth hormones. Very healthy, natural, organic food. Bet you also didn't know that it is mentioned in the Bible that God told us to eat animals. Leave the pictures up but please edit (totally delete) everything you wrote. Beautiful picture.

Is there something "wrong" with hunting for meat? Isn't that the most important point of hunting? For food? Sure, getting meat at the grocery store is easier but for some, it's getting quite expensive. Between climbing gas and grocery prices, bullets are cheaper than driving to the store to pay for food someone else shot. Mmmmm....Bambi.... Uh….wow. Is there something “wrong” with hunting for meat?

I don't see what is wrong with it. Ya they should open up a season on tree huggers or move them all to California or something. I shot an elk this year and the son of a gun was sticking out the bed of my pickup. I suppose that guy has a problem with that too. What an idiot. I live in SD and we do that all the time.

My 6 year old and I were eating breakfast at BK waiting on the taxidermist to open, and a guy came in and asked: "Is that your deer out there?" I told him it was and he said,"Why do you have it all coveed up like that - I'd be driving up and down main street with that one out for everyone to see." It was in that moment that I realized how right my decision to move to Montana was.

My uncle is handicapped, but still loves to get into the woods when he can. He has limited ability to man-handle deer, (though he is damn good with his bow/rifle), and he uses a hitch-n-haul to transport his harvest. While you are busy driving distractedly, taking pictures, and giving false descriptions to you child (who would die with you in the fire crash you are inviting) you might want to attempt to get the full story before you start slinging mud and your unwanted, narrow minded opinion around the web...
