hey y'all. southern appalachian here, my whole family is rednecks and of course everybody hunts. but due to some complicated situations i grew up away from most of them and didn't have a dad so i never learned or been taken hunting.
however i am 21 now and i sorta want to try it. i am in college for wildlife management and always loved animals and i have 0 problem with other folks hunting.
however i dont know if i could do it. like, kill something like that. even if i ate it, which i would. im not vegan or nothing so maybe im hypocritical in thinking so but i just feel like intentionally killing something would change me a little bit and im afraid of that.
i want to learn because i am sort of into survival prepping and i feel like its just a very useful skill to have, and i would really enjoy eating something that i know exactly where it came from, dressed myself and ate it.
i think thats how nature is, with killing and eating stuff, obviously. but i cant get past this fear of if i kill something i cant never take that back.
has anyone else struggled w this? any words of advice? everybody and their memaw down here in dixie hunts and there is such a vibrant culture around it that i really like. i want to try it but like i said i'm afraid.
there is a workshop for outdoorswomen coming up in this next may and they teach you how to shoot and hunt. i think i wanna try it but idk! what do y'all think??
