Originally posted by MAP View PostI'm pretty "country" but I dont like using hog traps all that much and always feel a little different when its time to kill whatever pigs are in it. I hate pigs as much as anybody, but feel kinda bad especially for the last one that saw everything else happen. Its certainly not something that i enjoy or look forward to, and will get it done as quickly and effectively as possible.
I know guys and have seen it, where people will fumble around with old crappy guns that are jamming or misfiring in between shots. Or shoot a few, then go get a beer, then shoot the others. Or shoot one and let their dog terrorize the others. Etc etc....I know they are just pigs but I always loose alittle respect for anybody that does it this away.

I used to go with a buddy of mine to run his trap lines. Never enjoyed the killing part. We butchered our show chickens ourselves one year. Hated it. One of our cows was stuck in the mud and by the time we found her she couldn't stand when we got her out. When it came time to put her out of her misery I walked off.
Hunting something down and killing it is great. Never liked doing the other stuff.

I've never had a problem dispatching animals, but as others have stated, as long as there is purpose. I do believe "varmints" need to be managed and food needs to be put on the table, but I also believe there's a right way and a wrong way. There's a name for people that feel totally empty inside when taking the life of another creature...psychopath!

I have a buddy who has approx. 250 acres - grows his own food and takes care of his own place. Built his own cabin and barn on the place. He rides his horses around the property. A DIY guy in every aspect of his life. He doesn't like killing animals at all. He invites a few of us out when there's sign, and we take out some hogs with traps and random shooting (get way more with traps).
Your way of country may be one thing, but I have no idea how you could say He's not country.
