As a pro gun pro hunting guy

Do you actually need to depend on venison for food or do you choose to?

Personally, I think hunting is a good way to stay mindful of the food chain and what it takes to eat meat. If one is going to eat meat I view this as the most ethical way to do it.

But its not necessary.

Unless you're doing the whole process yourself (which you might be) then its not cheaper than purchasing meat. And also its not better for you health wise unless you have some sorta allergy to beef. I guess its more lean, but truthfully I'd rather have smaller portions of fatty meat for flavor and health benefit reasons than more frequent lean meat.

I'd personally prefer to keep my ability to obtain protein myself if needed and the easiest way to do that is with a gun, but I have been looking I to bow hunting because that feels more ethical environmentally and in a lot of ways safer than explosion tubes that I hold next to my face.

So I guess I have two questions. Do you need to hunt? Do you need a gun specifically to hunt?
