Don't go apologising mate. I shoot on my father in laws farm. And have shot in the days when I helped out a local gamekeeper as a teenager, plus I am a lifelong angler.
I can drop rabbits and vermin with a shotgun, air gun, .22 rifle, snare, ferret, pitchfork, house brick, but get arrested if I use an arrow. The law is an ass at times. And lets not forget, if it was not for the drive of the US archery hunting community, we may not have seen developments such as the compound. Your bow hunting movement, is, as I recall the breeding ground of a lot of modern developments.
Anyway, I think eating meat you have hunted yourself is a damned sight more morally acceptable than letting the food supply industry do the dirty work.
Personally, if you have never tasted a REALLY fresh caught, non processed and frozen trout, you have missed out on something. And I mean a fish that was wriggling an hour or so ago, you have never tasted trout, because the supermarket stuff bears no comparison.
