It’s only in our more recent history that hunting has become more of a sport than necessity, but the real question is sometimes asked: is this still something we should value and practice? I don’t think it would take any of us very long, looking at the family tree or memoirs of days gone by, to find yourself related to someone who was or is a hunter in the family. This ancient practice goes back into the myths of time and is very much practiced today, right here on Vancouver Island. This episode we are joined by Anthony Klassen and Ben Steele, both resident hunters here on the Island. We’ll talk about the ethics of hunting, the difficulty hunting our local Blacktail deer and why we have chosen to make this not only a part of our lives, but bringing our families into this way of life as well.
