I just realized that I didn't want people thinking that he was hunting for sport. Of course there is some sport involved, but we are making sure that he understands that a life is a life and we don't want him devaluing it just because it's an animal.. Not something to to taken lightly. So that's why he has to eat whatever he kills.<br /><br />No worries!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272909221294270344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461988211718746801.post-2604502368579294632014-01-06T10:43:16.617-04:002014-01-06T10:43:16.617-04:00Lisa, I apologize for the sport hunting comment. ...Lisa, I apologize for the sport hunting comment. I wasn't indicating that you would allow your son to do such a thing. In my mind it was about those that do. Sorry if it sounded like I was leaving a negative comment. It's some times a tricky thing to leave a comment conveying actually what's wanted. What I wanted to say was that because of sport hunting, which your son is not doing, the responses from friends and neighbors can be tainted.<br /><br />Have a great son raising day.<br /> Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461988211718746801.post-1926428860530669732014-01-06T07:19:51.861-04:002014-01-06T07:19:51.861-04:00Glad you enjoyed it!Glad you enjoyed it!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272909221294270344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461988211718746801.post-49890935378038391502014-01-06T07:19:25.100-04:002014-01-06T07:19:25.100-04:00Just so everyone knows, we told Jamie he has to ea...Just so everyone knows, we told Jamie he has to eat whatever he kills.

It wasn't becaus...Lisa, I was never a hunter. It wasn't because of the killing issue but because I just couldn't sit in a tree stand or squat in a duck blind that long. To be a good hunter focusing on the task at hand was required which wasn't one of my qualities. I grew up on a small farm where life and death was part of the survival plan. Pigs, cows, chickens were all slaughtered in the fall to provide our food over the winter. Sport hunting, in my humble opinion, is totally wrong and has given hunting a bad rap.<br /><br />Talking with the many hunters that I know, hunting isn't just about the killing. To them it's about nature and being immersed in it. It's about all the sounds, smells, animals reacting to each other. It's about understanding how nature all works together in harmony. Hunting and being hunted happens on a continuing basis in nature. I think your PHD professional is right. Boys have to be boys even if it means a couple broken bones and a scar or two along the way. It's difficult to see it happen though, huh, mom. My daughter has the same issues with watching my grandson do his boy adventure stuff. <br /><br />Have a great son raising day and it be ok, mom.<br />Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461988211718746801.post-25646006232414055492014-01-04T21:35:36.698-04:002014-01-04T21:35:36.698-04:00I enjoyed reading this Lisa looking forward to mor...I enjoyed reading this Lisa looking forward to more.

Personally, I see no difference between the "happiness" of a wild animal shot out of doors to raising your own flock or herd. They were living the life as happy as they could be.....be it in a barn our out of doors. I feel better taking a wild animal than taking one from the supermarket where chances that the animal in the shopping cart did NOT have a nice life. Just my opinion. <br />Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461988211718746801.post-9056122978708432762014-01-04T15:33:27.243-04:002014-01-04T15:33:27.243-04:00Well Lisa im glad that I took the time to read thi...Well Lisa im glad that I took the time to read this.It was very nice to hear your story.To be honest with you it's nice to hear a true story and not a made up one like im use to hearing.I myself think that you and Dave have rasised a very smart young man and I really think that Jamie will do good in life.He has 2 very good and loving teachers.:) All the best for 2014.Bill Craig and Familywilliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11380223605782614976noreply@blogger.com
