Uncommon Snake Foods

[abcat1993]

I mentioned on another thread that I often feed my garter snakes scraps of caribou meat. It's from animals that I've personally killed and processed. Many people would find hunting distasteful, but I consider it a personal and private way to provide extremely healthy and well-cared for meat for myself and my family. Perhaps, as GarterGuy suggested, the difference lies in the way that the animal is killed. The goal of most hunters is to make a quick and clean kill and to pass up shot opportunities that might lead to suffering or a wounded animal. That shows respect for the animal and provides a great deal of satisfaction. I think THAT's where the difference lies between hunting and providing frog legs... It's the respect shown for the animal during the kill.

I agree/disagree. I just went deer hunting and shot my first deer just above the back legs. It was trying to move when my dad had to shoot it twice and it still wasn't dead. A lot of people would think that that is cruel. The hunter doesn't neccessarily try to kill it fast (not at first anyways), you try to keep it in one spot until you can get over there and kill it. Just my opinion on it though.

I don't know a single hunter that would even consider hunting like that.

I didn't mean that you don't try to kill it but that happened to all of the deer between the 5 deer that my dad, me, and my dad's friend shot
