Hunting...

I'd like to get everyone's input on what they think about hunting.  I am a hunter.  I love to hunt.  Spending hours in the woods or in a field appeals to me.  I also love the taste of game.  It is my belief that if you hunt it (kill it), you eat it. I respect those who feel that animals should not be killed, but preserved.  I have my arguments, however.  So...what do you all think?  Tell me about your stand on the idea of game hunting.  Have a story to share?  A rant?  All are welcome here.  Please be tactful.
