From Anti-Hunter to Hunter: A Personal Journey
My journey from anti-hunter to a bird and big-game hunter is a unique one. Teaching my daughter about hunting has its own set of lessons.
My first impression of hunting was not a positive one. I recall watching maggots crawl out of a small buck's eyes as it lay in a friend's backyard in central Wyoming when I was just 3 or 4 years old.
I couldn't have been more than 3 or 4 years old. That night, as we ate venison tacos, I tucked most of the meat away in a napkin to throw out later.
As I grew older, my negative perception of hunting persisted. Even after college, I reacted strongly to my boyfriend telling me he had shot a deer, calling him a "Bambi killer" and slamming my laptop closed.
Despite my initial hypocrisy, I couldn't understand why someone I loved could find joy in taking a life.
