YAKIMA — If you find yourself at a barbecue or some other social gathering this weekend, and you are a dove hunter, let me give you a small bit of advice.

If you happen to mention something about going dove hunting on Monday, there is a good chance youll get an obvious and immediate reaction. People will glare as if you just made some major faux pas.

If I’m at a bar BQ or other event and the people don’t want to hear about dove or any other kind of hunting, they are free to leave and are not my friends. There is a problem in America today and part of it is hunters and anglers being too mealy mouthed to defend themselves and their sport. I hunt and I am not ashamed of it. If that offends someone, they need to get over it. God gave us dominion over the animals and told us to eat them, all the animals shall be food for you Gen 9:3. Meat does not come from the store, it comes from animals. too many just don’t want to do the “dirty work”. To quote Ted Nugent “The beast is dead, long live the beast”.
