2. Taking responsibility for killing, cleaning and butchering

all your own meat will undeniably cut down on the quantity of it a lot of people are eating, so that's a good thing.

Still, I don't see any superior morality in shooting an animal and then tracking it until it collapses from pain or blood loss versus stunning a captive animal into quick unconsciousness before killing it by bloodletting. I suppose that makes me a very poor hipster.

I see no problem with people hunting for subsistence, there's a lot of that going on here in NM. My complaint is that too many locals can't get licenses because of too many out of state applicants hunting for sport.

Or hipsterism.
