What My Hunting Shirts Remind Me Of

By Roger Thatcher


If you ask any member of PETA, they'll tell you right away that hunting is dangerous for the environment. They'll tell you how terrible and inhumane hunters are and how they take such great pleasure in the death of innocent animals. They'll tell you that meat is murder and that everything has a right to live. As for that last statement, I agree to a certain point. Everything has a right to live out it's intended purpose No one calls a wolf a murderer when it brings down an elk, and I am no different than a wolf. I eat what I fell. I am a hunter and I wear hunting tees to let people know who and what I am.

Humans are hunters. Did you know that human beings are some of the greatest distance runners on the planet? We are built to track, hunt, and run down prey to the point of exhaustion. Our ancestors would run for days until an animal died from over exertion, and then we would rebuild our own tired, sore muscles from the protein their meat provides. We would not be here today if we had not developed those skills, and we certainly wouldn't have the most advanced brains in the world today. My hunting shirts are a symbol of my pride in our species.

You may think that you are a true conversationalist because you recycle and you donate to an organization, or two. Well, guess what? I do all of those things and more, as do almost every hunter I know. We care about the deep, wild places of the world like no one else can because we explore it every year. We are trained woodsmen who know this world better than the people who merely observe it through a television. I wear my deer hunter's t-shirts because I love nature and I love our environment.

If it were not for the modern hunter, the current deer population would be completely out of control. Deer, elk, and other herbivores breed quickly and mature fast because they have evolved to the point where they have to out perform the animals that stalk and kill them. Well, those animals are not nearly so plentiful as they once were because of careless practices of the past. Now, it is up to the human hunter to cut back the population of these prey animals so that they do not have a crueler fate during a foodless, long winter. I wear my hunting clothes because I know my responsibility as a human being.

There is not a single person reading this article that doesn't have a special talent for killing prey for food and nourishment. It is simply how we were built. I understand that many have become too modernized to ever even care to get back to those special talents, but for all of our sakes...leave us alone who do. We are hunters, and we are good people who do good things in the world. I wear hunting t-shirts because I am proud of who I am.
