How to respond to an anti-hunter

How would you respond to an anti-hunter?

With all of the uproar about the anti hunters verbally attacking a lot of women hunters, lately I have been thinking about how would I respond. I must say I have been surprised that I have not been a target for them.

At a most unlikely place I got my chance to see how I would respond.  I was at a friend’s house to celebrate her birthday. She also is a hunter. I met a few of her friends, then I was directed to one of her neighbors. I was introduced in this way: “This is Shelly, she is the one who owns HERCAMOSHOP.”  We shook hands and said our pleasantries; she then asked, “Can I ask you a question?”

Her question was, “DO YOU EVER FEEL GUILTY WHEN YOU SHOOT AN ANIMAL?”
