Vladimir Batinić, a resident of Calgary, shares his journey regarding hunting and firearms. Initially hesitant to engage in hunting activities with his son due to personal values, Batinić reflects on his complex relationship with firearms stemming from his upbringing in Bosnia during the war. Despite his evolving interests towards yoga and vegetarianism, Batinić ultimately supports his son’s passion for hunting. After years of unsuccessful attempts, a transformative moment occurs during a hunting trip when his son successfully shoots a deer, marking a significant milestone in their relationship. This experience reinforces Batinić’s love and pride for his son, demonstrating that despite his initial reservations, he stands by his son’s pursuit of hunting, even as a reluctant participant.
