Hunting: Youve got to be kidding!!! is my narrative of reaching a major milestone as a hunter! This documentation of my pursuit contains spiritual, financial, emotional, and sometimes humorous excerpts of my hunting career. Why do I hunt? Im pressed for an answer to this question daily, because my lifes passion is on public display. Trophys Steakhouse, which Becky and I own, provides an atmosphere of exuberance and a forum to promote the sport of hunting. Museum would describe Trophys much closer than Steakhouse, as the restaurant is enriched with the rewards of twenty years of successful trophy collection. Our customers are hunters and non-hunters, who appreciate the hunting theme and dont require an answer to the question. Invariably, I must provide a detailed explanation to a select few, as to why I havent changed from a hunter-gatherer to the modern rendition of a man. My respect for wild animals complicates my answer. Our genetic engineering by God places us as masters of animal and plant life, both of whom are alive and function to nourish us. Therefore, my answer is because I am pursuing a bred in instinct to hunt and gather as our ancestors have done for a millennium. I am proud to have this genetic make-up. I continue to preserve Gods creatures, by being part of the hunting community. Hunters generously contribute time and money to increase habitat for wild animals, while at the same time protecting hunters rights. I have achieved my hunting goals because of the contributions of hunters!
