Many people disagree, but there’s an excitement and sadness that goes with hunting that you don’t get anywhere else. I’m seen gnarly ass mountain men sob after killing a deer. Its a complex emotional roller coaster. Its been so beaten down by media that I doubt there will be a sane discussion about it for decades.

What he said. I’m still not certain my husband will be able to take the shot come hunting season. Hell I’m not sure I will be able to take the shot either and I’ve helped euthanize many animals at the vets and have processed my own birds before.

Yup.

We need everyone in the effort to transform education. If you are for the well-being of kids and have visions of a more just and sustainable future, you are an ally. We need to start reaching out to all groups! Parents, students, teachers, policy makers, home educators, public, private, interdependent schools, community or alternative educators, and any one that cares. I ask that everyone reach out to each other and push forward based on the 40% we agree on. We have spent enough time fighting among ourselves, now is the time for action!
