A few comments on the November 15 Techalum Newsletter regarding deer hunting. I just returned from several days of hunting with my father and my son. Many of us simply enjoy being outdoors, away from work and the worries of the world for a short time. The quiet of the woods is something many people never experience. Furthermore, the kill is not as important as the hunt itself.
Many hunters are very skilled outdoorsman, who respect the land and the game they pursue.
We often let animals pass because we couldn't get a good shot or let smaller deer go in hopes that a bigger buck will come by. Also venison has been an important part of our family's diet. I've hunted from camps in the past and had some very good times over the years. But again, I think the other side of the story needs to be told.
