Deer Season!

[ktmcf121]

cut the flaming?

 

 

 

I eat everything I kill. You can't buy this kind of meat in stores. It's all processed junk that tastes like dirt compared to a good venison steak.

 

 

 

yeah I do enjoy killing deer and think that a nice rack on someone's wall makes a good addition to the house decoration, but I don't kill them just for fun.

 

 

 

come on, I wanna see some more pics! I'm sure SOMEONE here had to have killed a decent buck. :anxious:

Hunting.....

 

 

 

I bet you find it fun killing some cute inocent deer and then guting it.....

 

 

 

[sarcasm]What bloody great humans you are[/sarcasm]

Boo hoo, go cry to mother nature. Animals kill as well, get used to it.

 

 

 

I'd love to go hunting, looks like great fun, especially deer hunting, here in England there a big seasons for hunting with guns but bow hunting is banned.

 

 

 

Bit of a gray margin when it comes to England, because you can hunt some things, as the gain actively goes towards produce. However, hunting for 'fun' (eg fox hunting) or 'inhumanely' (eg bow hunting) is outlawed, as, I think, it should be.

 

Of course, the gray area is where it becomes more of one than the other.

[Medellin]

I wish I had adult relatives that were into hunting :(

 

 

 

and lol @ sheltered people being uptight

 

 

 

I assure you, the meat that you just ate suffered its entire life while the deer that was shot only had to endure pain for a few seconds.

Yeah if I went hunting I would eat what I killed (especially since deer tastes nice)

 

 

 

I will eat meat but because I barely eat anything and meat is how I keep somewhat healthy. But hunting is where I draw the line.

So your happy to eat meat from a factory which is probably hurts the cow more than hunting, eating a deer you hunted is probably more satisfying than eaten factory meat, it is with fish.

Sure, hunting is where YOU draw the line. Why should other people draw the same line as you? And if they don't, what gives you the right to tell them off?

[rushrock]

Sycosis and friends, get off this thread if you don't like hunting.

 

 

 

I don't hunt, but my friend and his entire family does and his house is decked out in deer skins, wolf skins w/ the head, antlers, guns, bows and arrows, slingshots, etc.

[ltb2006]

What do you do with all the deer you shoot? I mean i shoot and everything but if i would kill a deer it's be one not like 10.

[StrOwez]

Sycosis and friends, get off this thread if you don't like hunting.

 

Why are you some kind of a God? A rule maker perhaps why should a person with a difference of opinion be banned from expressing it, especially on a discussion board..?

 

 

 

IMO hunting is barbaric and I can foresee it being outlawed in civilized countries in the near future.. maybe replaced by video game versions where you kill a virtual deer if successful you get a stake at the end of the game.

[rushrock]

^ Well, you obviously didn't see what he wrote. Besides being illogical, he also humorously contradicted himself with the "I will eat meat but because I barely eat anything and meat is how I keep somewhat healthy. But hunting is where I draw the line." part.

 

 

 

Expressing opinions is fine, like "I'm not a fan of hunting. I think it's _____", but I don't think a hunting season thread wants to hear people saying "hunting is murder to our precious animals what horrible bloody humans save the nature!"

[BlueLancer]

why should a person with a difference of opinion be banned from expressing it, especially on a discussion board..?

 

 

 

Yep, a couple of people even reported his posts. Whether I, or you, or him like hunting or not is irrelevant; He's allowed to have his opinion about it and post it here even if it's negative. There aren't moral absolutes on this...

 

 

 

Hunting (if done correctly and with control) is not against the law in most western countries, you can even acquire a license to do so. Some people even live on hunting and sell the meat to retailers who pack it.

 

 

 

But killing random innocent animals "just for the heck of it", such as rabbits, sheep, squirrels, etc. that you aren't even going to eat, seems pretty twisted to me. Lawmakers tend to agree, you can get charges against you or even a prison term for shooting bigger game animals/other wild animals just for "fun".

 

 

 

For example killing, baiting, trapping bears without a license can land you a 1-5 year prison sentence, and even if you obtain licenses, you can hunt down a maximum of 1 per year.

 

 

 

But if you hunt smaller animals and also eat them, I don't see what's wrong. PETA fans and others, feel free to voice your opinion. I just don't know why it would be wrong to do something humans (and every other species) have done since the dawn of times. It's not unnatural, if humans never started hunting, we wouldn't exist today to write on these message boards because all our ancestors would've starved to death.

 

 

 

Hell, even other hungry animals will prey on humans if they haven't eaten for a long enough time.

 

 

 

Animals kill to survive, not to have fun. Hunting is primarily a source of entertainment, we don't really need to hunt to survive

 

 

 

It's a free country if you're in the US, so you can do it based on law... But I agree that if you have no intention to even dispose their bodies (let alone consume them as food), it's an extremely cruel way to have "fun".

 

 

 

You might just as well go to parades for legislating dog fights, at least the animals have a slight chance to survive while the people watching have their "entertainment".

I reported them because I see no reason for another vegan vs meat debate. This was a thread to talk about the deer we got this season.

[rushrock]

^ Exactly. I don't think a hunting season thread wants to hear people saying "hunting is murder to our precious animals what horrible bloody humans save the nature!". Someone should make a thread like that, though. Sounds like an interesting debate.

Deer hunting is usually not done for fun, it's done also for the food. Far more animals are killed while growing vegetables on vast corn/wheat/etc fields which are covered by two or more vehicles which have razor sharp blades for harvesting grain, corn, etc...

 

 

 

So in that way I don't see how a moral discussion fits here anyways. Unless you live 100% by solar energy/synthetic sugar, you are just as guilty of killing/sponsoring the killing of animals by being a meat eater, vegetarian, pastafarian or whatever.

 

 

 

It doesn't matter if you don't personally kill those animals that cross the wheat fields; Just as I don't personally kill my deer; We are both guilty. That's how life is. By buying farm products you encourage the farmer to continue what he's doing; By buying meat I encourage the hunter to do the same.

 

 

 

The only person who can say he lives by not being a part of killing other animals/species, is one who totally grows his own food. And I don't think there are many of those on tip.it

[rushrock]

^ No. Anyone who shoots deer purely for enjoyment is very bizzare.

They wanted youth hunters to clear their property of all the deer, there are way too many in Ohio

 

 

 

While it's technically for "fun", it's necessary to control the deer population from overpopulating, spreading too close to human habitation, causing traffic accidents, starting to attack farm animals/destroying crops, etc.

 

 

 

And as you can see from the page 1 pic, most people don't just waste a hugely valuable deer by killing & letting it rot in the woods. The skin and meat are worth a lot of money.

[ktmcf121]

we've had many threads like that, most of the "gun control" threads turn to hunting, it's been beaten into the ground, and no one's made any progress in promoting thier own opinion.

 

 

 

i made this thread to get other pics and stories, and so far i've only gotten a few stories and no pics(besides mine).

 

 

 

i know this is the off-topic forum, but dang.

no, nobody i know wastes the deer. in fact, there are programs in place to donate venison to the less fortunate. however, it is technically not legal to sell a wild game animal that an individual harvested, since you have to have a liscense to sell food also. it's incredibly difficult to get a liscense to sell venison, and most of the venison jerky and stuff that you buy in the stores are all domesticated deer.

So? Someone should make the thread again. Who knows, maybe people will be mature. I still think it's an interesting debate worth discussing, just like all the debates on religion and crap.

Yeah.. It's not like we're really saturated with things left to talk about on off topic. :lol:

[Cobradudes20]

To the people saying hunting is cruel and inhumane I ask you to go take a tour of a cow/pig/chicken slaughter house. Perhaps you will change your mind and if you don't...well theres something truly wrong with you...

 

 

 

Back on topic...I haven't had a chance to go hunting this year yet...and don't think I will :( sigh...A nice piece of jerky would be nice right now... but I digress congrats on the deer... and yeah lol

[Bubsa]

Sorry to digress again, but you're comparison is completely irrelevant. Just because, by comparison, the house would be 'more' inhumane, doesn't give justification to some (emphasis on some) hunting which is 'less' inhumane, but inhumane nevertheless.

Don't really feel like getting involved in this topic; but I really would like to see some evidence/statistics/etc.. supporting that statement.

lol. ever seen anyone harvesting grain? that's proof in itself. granted, they're mostly mice, snakes, turkey, rabbits, and other small animals, but still.

 

 

 

also, proof linked above me.

 

 

 

EDIT: lol at that article, thanks, i've never seen that. brilliant work. =D>
