The "problem" (or more accurately "my moral dilema") is that it is not being done out of true and dire necessity. Keep in mind that by my saying this, it is coming from someone (me) who has spent most of his life hunting and fishing and has even done his small share of trapping... not some urban-dwelling, politically correct, neo hippy, city slicker. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I have begun in recent years to find it increasingly difficult to kill living creatures when there is not a true and dire necessity.

Now the question I ask myself is, whether or not practicing to prepare myself to be able to survive is justification enough to practice hunting and more specifically trapping (which is inherintly cruel) with primitive tools and small kit tools. <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
