I value wildlife (and my livestock) as an important resource (even an investment). Shooting a critter is a heck of a way to show compassion though.

Looks like you are a one well of a man and your son is right behind you
 

The peta (small case is intentional) idiots have no idea that lots of hunters love and are much more in tune with wildlife than they will ever be. Good job, and a great lesson for your son.

Great answer......  

When I talk to those who don't understand hunting, I have often described hunting (or fishing) as being a participant rather than a spectator.

A spectator can watch while missing a whole lot and not understanding and it doesn't change the outcome. When you hunt, you take up the role of a predator and you're actually an active participant in the process. It's a test. Your understanding and skill are measured.

That said, I'd point out that a real predator would jump at the chance to eat a turkey that was caught in the fence. The bird screwed up and the predator gets a meal.

   

Sure makes a dad proud.

Out of the mouths of babes......


Way to go Dad. You've been doing it right
