Not a hunter. No objections to hunting though. As far as I'm concerned, the less deer in this state, the better.

My only objection with hunting is calling it a sport. Not really a sport if the other team doesn't know it's playing.

With that being said, good luck.

Read the Eh? Column again. "Wisconsin wildlife officials" are suggesting a hike in the woods to remove invasive species.  Wisconsin's firearm deer season doesn't start for another couple weeks.

You kill plants. You kill animals. You eat both, then poop, which fertilizes the soil, which grows more plants and animals.

buck thorn isn't that hard to id with or without leaves if you know it. Tansy is also real easy, but I think it's probably past the time of year where pulling tansy will have any effect.

Nice pic and post, good luck, Cory. I harvested one yesterday and will take the dog and look for birds. I have a cabin near Schroeder and heard more shooting today. Guys filling tags, I suppose. Black powder season next!

Harvest:

to catch, take, or remove for use: Fishermen harvested hundreds of salmon from the river.

Based on the Sam Cook article today, it sounds like a lot of hunters do the killing and then pay someone else to do the harvesting. 

Harvesting human organs is a good one. That gives the impression that the human was raised to meet the end objective of gaining more organs.

I was a vegetarian for several years, and I still prefer to mostly eat plants. But I also have come to see that eating the animals that eat the plants is just part of the overall cycle of things. It seems like a good idea to be part of the cycle of plant-animal life that flows through my place in the world, especially given that I'll be feeding the process myself in a couple decades (I hope), when my energy moves on.

In my capacity as a local food advocate/grower/researcher, it's become pretty clear that if we ate only plants in this region, we'd be quite a bit hungrier, and we'd need to have a much smaller regional population.

Not to mention they have home field advantage.
