I was nine years old. My father brought me into the woods with my first ever shotgun.
"It's time you learned to hunt, son."
My heart was pounding. I didn't want to kill.
Yet, when I saw the rustling in the trees, I took my shot.
I took my first life.
I felt complete.

The circle of life is one many humans don't ever truly complete by themselves. This is a tragedy.
200,000 years of killing our own food, suddenly replaced with a supermarket.
You can never wholly appreciate what you're eating without bringing it to the table yourself.

You can never wholly appreciate what you're eating without bringing it to the table yourself.
Yet, despite our history, many of you are in denial.
Do you think you have truly matured when you can't even kill the animal you're eating? At least vegans aren't hypocrites.
Do you think your supermarket beef suffered less than the wild animals I take? Mine tasted freedom.

To appreciate life, you must fully immerse yourself in it.
Life is death. Death furthers life.
As a man, it is your job as the provider to embrace the thrill of the hunt. This feeling is what has allowed us to thrive for our entire history.

Yet, I still know many of you do not understand. This is because society has forbidden most of you to be attuned with your own human nature.
You can't comprehend this connection to the world because you have NEVER EXPERIENCED IT. You've never needed to hunt, so why would you?

You've never been there, camouflaged, watching your prey move without any knowledge of your existence.
You've never taken your shot or given chase to your prey.
You've never felt the immense pressure before and the great relief after a successful hunt.
THESE ARE ALL NATURAL.

Imagine how amazing it feels to grow a garden, harvesting it to bring to the table to feed your family.
That compares little to the satisfaction of bringing home the most nutrient rich food we can devour: meat.
Be a participant, not a spectator.

Don't defy your origins. In that body that's currently staring at this screen, you are the greatest hunter this world has ever seen.
You can run your prey to exhaustion, you've strength most animals can't comprehend, and you're smart enough to utilize tools.
You're a predator.

I hope this has convinced some of you to partake in the hunting season this year.
For those of you being held back by laws, I apologize. You may likely never feel what we feel.
Good luck, friends. Feel free to drop any questions below.
