This is how messed up my industry is.

In fact, I'm pretty much an ex-vegetarian, Birkenstock-wearing tree hugger. rolleyes.gif So I have to put up with a lot of stuff here that is really not my cup of tea (heads of deer and alligator on the walls, etc.)

My reps keep asking me to go on hunts with them, and I decline politely every time. Today I had a rep come in and say, "well, I know you don't hunt or fish, but maybe we can get you in on the prairie dog hunt coming up. You won't have to kill anything big that way." Uhhhhh, what? blink.gif These people have no clue. rolleyes.gif

I think I'll ask for a day at the spa instead tongue.gif

Sorry they keep asking you - just keep polietly refusing and they will get the hint.

TANNER'S MOM replied: Can I go in yoru place..lol
Not praire dog hunting..lol But I would love to go deer hunting.. my problem is.. I go and I see these wonderful animals and I can't pull the trigger..lol I can't trophy hunt. My husband does hunt and I go.. but I can only hunt for food..not b/c it's a big and pretty..big and pretty makes me want to leave it alone in it's natural habitat. Even though I believe in population control and all that. It's hard..lol

Oh btw.. I don't allow mounts in my house either. We kill for food not show.. and I refuse to look it in the eye 10 years after it's dead...lol

luvmykids replied: wacko.gif I couldn't kill a prairie dog any more than I could kill any other animal. I guess they think starting small would get you juiced up huh.gif Spa day gets my vote thumb.gif

My2Beauties replied: I could never ever kill a living creature so I'm right there with ya! I can hardly eat meat anymore nowadays from thinking about it so much all the time. I'd take the day at the spa too!

A&A'smommy replied: rolleyes.gif yes definitly ask for the day spa!!! tongue.gif
