"Och aye.  Da woold nae let me get afraid of 'unting.  Be respectful of it and of the animals, but knowing that they give us our food and how tae get it when I was oot on the land."

"We hunted our own game for meals back 'ome, still dae on special occasions.  I am always gaeing 'unting with someone or another when I am back there.  Especially, in the holidays.  Better food than tame meat.  Tae my opinion.  Though we have the local farms tae get the regular meat tae.   But for the special events, nothing like a roasted boar or stag."  He shrugged taking another bite of the salmon.

"I actually missed it when I was traveling once I started my apprenticing.  Though then I was too busy learning more techniques and styles of painting and sculpting.  Well, there were more things to learn when I did have free time of my own."  He chuckled.
