I was shocked one day when my partner told me that the hunter guy creeped him out in a major way.  He said that anyone who spends that much time and money on killing is basically a step away from being a serial killer.  The guy just isn't happy if he's not shooting something, and that's a bit strange, I suppose.  Never looked at things that way, but it surprised to hear someone say that they were as creeped out by it as he was.

I don't hunt at all, but I think big game hunters have a serious problem.  Deer hunters are also doing it for the thrill of the hunt.  I mean I know they eat the meat  or give it away, but they are hunting because they want to hunt, and yet I draw a distinction between hunting deer or fowl to big game hunting.  Even if they aren't killing endangered species, there's just something not right about them in my book.  How do you pose next to a giraffe or an elephant you just killed with a big smile on your face?
