My friend raised this topic on another forum and this was one of the responses that he got:
βAn old mate of mine, Gordon, is an ex-mercenary. He fought in Congo, Mozambique, Sudan, Colombia etc. He's killed numerous people in his time. He's also violently anti-hunting, and I mean literally violently. Once in a bar, some bloke was spouting on in support of 'the sport' of hunting. Gordon offered to take him hunting. He said "I'll get you a rifle and I'll have one as well. We enter some woods from either end. You can hunt me and I can hunt you. One of us comes out of the wood at the end, the agreement is that he has to bury the other bloke properly before he leaves. That's hunting as a sport, in it's truest sense". He was absolutely serious about the offer, but the bloke declined. Eventually things got a little out of hand and Gordon threw the bloke down a flight of stairs, and we both got chucked out of the bar, but that's another story.β
