Has hunting made you a better person?

I don’t know if it made me a better person but it definitely made me a healthier person. When I was a kid, I was always hunting, fishing and outside… constantly on the move. As I got older, I got preoccupied with all the usual trappings and found myself in a very unhealthy situation. I was prediabetic, hypertension, high blood pressure etc and headed down a road that I didn’t care if I could come back from. I listened to a podcast about hunting and the memories of my youth came flooding in, reminding me of who I used to be and needed to become again. I am almost 10 years sober, weigh 105 lbs less, take zero medications, eat 95% wild game meals, have the energy I did 30 years ago and along with the physical changes come the added benefits of knowing my value and not putting myself or others in bad situations. I can’t say hunting did all of that but it was the lynch pin that got me headed in the right direction.

This is inspiring. Physical healing stems from healing of the soul!
 
No, I don’t think so. If it has helped someone else be a better person, good for you. Keep it that way.
