Omnivore's 18&19

Chapter 18 of Omnivore's Dilemma is about hunting. It describes what needs to be done in preparation and delves into the mental aspect of hunting and killing. As someone who has been hunting, I could relate alot to the reading. I went through some of the same emotions and thoughts before and during my experience as well. When the reading was discussing how he got the gun and was just thinking about what he was going to do, I could relate. I went over to my uncles a month before we were going and he showed me all the safety information and we went out the range. It got me thinking about what I was actually doing and if I could actually go through with it. And coming to the actually day with me going hunting there was a mixed bag of emotions. Actually shooting the gun was a big step and killing an animal changes a person. I could relate greatly to this reading, it was a good read.
