I prefer all my pork or beef to come pre-killed. Usually fowl too, but I wouldn't object to a pheasant hunt.
My biggest one day total for fish was 21. I always cut their heads off first, then gut, then scale. Catfish are much worse. I wouldn't even fish for them now. When I was a kid, I nailed their head to a board, slit around the gills, and pulled the skin back.
Deer and elk are far off my huntables list. Cows and chickesn taste so much better. Deer and elk are stunning, and have an intelligence and part in the eco-system.
I've killed many snakes because our land was infested with copperheads and moccasins.
I strongly disagree with stocked hunting grounds and turkey shoots.
