I would have replied with, 'Yin and yang'.Quote:
Oh you're a hunter? How could you... I could never do that, I love animals way too much. I'm a vegetarian".
Its obvious she was hitting on you. Engaging in conversation. Women can't resist an outdoorsman.
I'd laugh it off. Then offer to take her hunting, or play in the woods.
Here in Chelmsford (Sudbury) , those ladies at the desk offer hunter tips and
hot spots for hunting!! Gotta love our Northern Gals!!
Tell her "Well that's a relief as I'm already married!"
Just brush it off. I get it all the time from non-hunters, especially women. My wife and step-Daughter are anti-hunting and if they start saying "Oh that poor deer or that birds is no longer in the sky" my reply is " You had no problem eating that burger or chicken breast"? I just ignore it. It sets them off every time.
Funny though, when I make a venison stew or venison burgers over the BBQ, it breaks my heart seeing my wife and step daughter eating Kraft dinner while my 3 kids and I enjoy a wild game meal.
