I was a bit harsh in my post above, I by this want to apologize to Unspellable for making a judgment not knowing all the facts.
We have all been young, and I for one, has done a lot of silly things!
I was about 8 when I shot my first bird. One shot and one very dead raven outside my bedroom window. I had been 'hunting' it for several days, I remember that each time I had it close to sight with my .22 biathlon rifle, it flew away.
Got this bad feeling inside afterwards, started thinking that it might be as old as 60 years..
Anyway, it didn't stop me from starting hunting
I'm trying to make room for four weeks of it every year. I get more of a 'bad feeling' by purchasing chickens, brew up to grow as fast as possible without seeing daylight.
