As I close in on the final chapter of life, I can understand the ambivalence some may have of killing versus not killing. I haven't reached that point, but others I know have. One man, who closed out the final chapter, stopped shooting ducks, but still loved the trappings of the sport. He would accompany shooters in the blind, but for personal reasons, couldn't and wouldn't shoot them. He would, however, eat them. Another friend will no longer hunt ducks, but enjoys hunting other bird species. It would be easy for some to call it hypocrisy, but I don't. Gil
