Learning to hunt for the reasons I first stated was educational and character-affirming.
Since becoming a husband, father, homeowner, I've had other priorities to the time and money required to hunt as avidly as I once did. I still kill animals in a legal fashion, and I hope it mitigates death anxiety in my children (something shamefully prevalent these days) but I fear my involvement and investment in hunting has peaked and shall only decline.
I urge all HBCers to remain armed, active, and harvest as much wild meat as possible. Maintain a non-government, non-affirmative-action presence in the wilderness as much as possible, to preserve and continue a great heritage.
