You've NEVER hunted? It's actually a lot like you think it should be, an ambush, laid with great care after observing the habits and terrain of the prey. 

The hunter submerges into the living land, listening to it, smelling it, watching the move of every twig and needle, usually in a cold winter dawn or in dimming light before dusk. It is an amazing way to be in the living world, not the only way to do that, but . . . well, you've never hunted. 

 I eat meat, alas. I went through a short period when I ate only meat from game that I killed, back in the South. It's just about the only truly ethical meat that you can eat. I say "just about" because a friend of mine runs an organic hog farm, in Missouri, where every process and protocol is a rejection of industrialized meat production. 

Industrialized meat production, however, is killing the Earth and changing the climate; avoid it all you can. And I tell you, those "mighty hunters" are NOT killing the Earth and changing the climate.
