Anybody else here hunt?

[Thornir Alekeg]

I don't have any particular problem with hunting*, I just know I'm too much of a softie to kill an animal.

*other than the usual small number of annual idiots who don't actually see what they are shooting at and end up shooting some innocent person instead.

I don't think I'd go hunting, but if I lived in the right enviroment I might do some back porch hunting for rabbits.

I grew up in a hunting family, started shooting when I was ten, took hunter-safety courses before I became a teenager, and spent many fall vacations bonding with my dad & step-brother in the woods. Unfortunately life has intervened and I haven't been hunting in about ten years. I hope I can get back to it and teach my kids the joys of the outdoors.

And as an aside, I am definitely a "game" hunter and not a "trophy" hunter. I have very little respect for those that go out simply to kill the largest animal they can for the hide or the rack and have no intention of using the meat.

No, and I never will.

Never have, likely never will. As long as there is Beef at the grocery store, I don't feel the need to hunt for my food.

I don't really, but I love eating the spoils of a hunt. Venison is far superior to beef, IMO.

And I am pretty anti-Vegan/vegatarian. If I haven't had meat with my meal, and usually a lot of it, I feel like I haven't actually eaten anything.

There are two kinds of creatures in this world, Predator and Prey.

If God did not intend us to hunt, why did he make animals out of meat?

Vegetarian - Indian word for lousy hunter....

I came from a "hunting family" - Dad used to hunt deer and quail, and he was county-wide known for preparing saturday lunches for the local hunting club. I hunted small game (squirrel, rabbit, quail), never hunted deer, and I've fished a bit.

Nowadays, city boy that I am, I have no reason and no desire to, plus my wife objects, so it's all the more reason not to. I don't have moral or philosophical objections, but can't see myself doing it, because it's just not "me."

 

[the Jester]

Humm, there's not a good answer for me.

I don't hunt, never have, don't especially want to; but under the right circumstances- if I moved somewhere where I needed to, or where I could get really good wild game, I might.
