Hunting?

[Craig]

Dear Brother Ray,

I have a personal question, Post it or not it's up to you.  I have been brought up hunting and fishing, and see nothing wrong with it, however the last deer season, i watched over twenty deer walk by my stand, and did not have the heart to take one. It's been nagging at me, i hunt with my two sons, I just dont know if in this modern day age,  whether God would want us to do these things? This might sound silly to ask, but after thousands of hours studying your site and reading your work, Who else would i ask?

Thanks

Gods peace to you

Chris

Dear Chris:

I see nothing wrong with killing game animals if they are used for food. Deer populations would cause starvation within their herds if they were not managed down to lower numbers.  I personally have no desire to shoot a deer, however.

God be with you,
Ray
