Hunting season is open, hearing the gunshots. Hate it. Was brought up with it - Dad and brother hunt to this day. I respect their decision to...I mean, it's food. But I still hate the sounds and think of all the mateless birds left out there (they mate for life). I had pet snow geese growing up and I think of how devastated Charlie was when raccoons got to Snowy one night.

By permit (only) in certain privately owned land I believe...unless that's changed.
Thing is, I do understand that, especially regarding geese, it's an important part of keeping things under control as the numbers climb. But every time I hear a gunshot I get sad.
Dad took me hunting once when I was young....lol. Failed experiment. I ran out and scared the ducks away (and am lucky I didn't get shot by accident!). My Dad and brother have both hunted since they were old enough to hold a shotgun...so there's no changing that/them. Although Dad has softened and doesn't "enjoy" it like he used to. He's an animal lover so he's in conflict now.
