Here’s an email where Ray talked about Hunting.

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

Good find.

Thanks Anjel

Another thought on the topic of hunting game animals that live in the wild.
Ever since God placed a curse on the land we have had a predator/prey situation to contend with.
In most cases wild animals eat other wild animals or starve to death.
=
In the case of wild deer or other bovine creatures if the predator is reduced to almost nothing then the prey population will expand to the point of not being sustained by the environment in which they live. This point is further illustrated by the fact that different species
reproduce more or less frequently in a manner to maintain a balance among the various populations. (God keeps track)
=
So then when mankind occupies the land that was formerly vacant and wild and a home for beasts of the field, it becomes the responsibility of mankind to compensate for having created the imbalance.
=
If hunters don't hunt then the State Game Commission has to hire someone to thin the herd. Otherwise they will starve or die of diseases that otherwise would be controlled by the predators.

God knows what is best during this wicked age.
Things could be a lot different during the next age when the lamb will lie down with the wolf.

Although I meat, I could never take part in killing these animals.  I find the whole process of hunting as a sport a bit disturbing, then again, I feel bad when I accidentally step on a spider, so I have my own issues. But I do understand the need to control the populations.

Do you find hunting more disturbing than factory farmed meat?
