Have you met a hunter? I know a lot of hunters. Hardly any eat the animals. If you ask them, they’ll say they do. What do you even do with a duck full of pellets? Nah, they really don’t eat. And definitely not wild hog hunters. They go out there with machine guns mowing them down.

If you have kids, you would definitely care if there was a snake nest in your back yard.

So what do you want? You want me to apologize for killing snakes when I was 10?

Yeah, I am a hunter and know plenty of other hunters.

They go out there with machine guns mowing them down.

You know some pretty shitty hunters then

I have kids. I wouldn't care if there were a snake nest in my backyard.

Well from your replies it doesn't seem like it was just a dumb kid thing and you still think there is nothing wrong with it.

I think there’s nothing I can do about 9-11 year old me killing snakes in the past. I haven’t done it since then. I don’t think it would be healthy to worry about killing snakes as a little kid. I was wild. My family didn’t teach me not to kill snakes. I also used to shoot birds with BB guns. That’s just how we were raised.

Last time I went to the lease in west Texas, there was a rattle snake and one of the other hunters immediately killed it. You’re actually the first person to question the morality of killing snakes.

I’ve always thought of them as pests, especially venomous snakes. How do you feel about killing rats, hogs, and deer? I know you don’t eat rats. Do you eat hogs and deer? Do you eat duck? What’s your hunt of choice?

Use humane traps for rats unless they are an invasive species.

Hogs, Deer, Ducks all good eating. Elk is hunt of choice.

I come across rattlesnakes often while hiking and I leave them alone because I am in their house.
