What's the big challenge with shooting animals in the wild?

[Mango7]

How can people be so caveman-ish as to 1) hide behind a bush and wait and 2)shoot an oblivious, defenseless, beautiful animal who was just minding his own business just trying to survive? Where's the challenge? What's to boast about? Its not a necessary part of survival to feed yourself and your family. Poor animals have it hard enough trying to survive and then have their life cut short by some lug looking for the perverse thrill of killing a handsome animal and then go hang the head in their home to reflect(if possible) feel a sense of proudness and accomplishment while guzzling a twelve-pack pack of budweiser. Am I missing something?

its ok tho if you kill a pack of wolves.

[Ultimate Genetics]

Humans are killers. We are human because we are killers. Realize it, admit it, make peace with it. Move on. Read "The Hunting Hypothesis" by Robert Ardrey. Thank me later. Kthxbye.

Yes, yes you are. The Department of Natural Resources give out these licenses to control the target animal population before they.

A. Destroy crops
B. Overpopulate a specific region.

[Claremont]

i agree with op

what's the big challenge in posting in the proper section?

I can honestly say brah.....hunting is honest. You actually go through the process of killing, and breaking down the animal for food. You see where your meat is coming. If you eat meat, and get your meat from a slaughterhouse, you don't see how the animal is being killed and broken down before sent to the supermarket. Hunters don't waste. They hunt for food and believe or not they do serve a purpose of controlling animal population. Because the lacking of predators, many of these deer, can cause a surge of population growth which can be very unhealthy to the environment and will cause food shortages for them and lead to starvation and diseases. Many animals that are having a hard time finding natural source of food will eventually get into the city confines and search for food. Hunting has been around since time and the only thing that has changed is the weapons. There are different types from guns, rifles and bow hunting. Also hunting is no different to fishing. Basically you see and prepare the food you will be eating. As I say again, it is honest.

They're overpopulated in this region and they're decimating the grubworm population.

[jeffedge]

I don't care. My dad and I would go hunting all the time when I lived in Montana with my family. That meat made up probably about 80% of our food so someone who "doesn't get it" isn't going to make me be like "aw shucks. i guess i'll go hungry."

[Trapstar4.4]

you white knightin furry animals OP?

haha jk... i see both sides of the argument, so Im out of here

[StaticZ]

People who hunt for sport disturb me.

People who hunt to feed their families are fine.

People who hunt to control populations are full of ****. Populations wouldn't need our help to maintain themselves if we didn't **** up the ecosystem in the first place.

[rustov7]

I don't know about you guys.. but while i'm at publix buying a gatorade, i'd hate to have a deer be waiting for me at the magazines with a 12 gauge...

Damnit I just wanted a gatorade the f*ck?

[natescope]

humans are overpopulated, but we don't like it when sharks and crocs eat us

uh oh

[bikestud125]

B. Overpopulate a specific region.[/QUOTE]

I agree with OP, and last I heard human are starting to overpopulate the planet, does that mean would should go around and kill all them?

[SmarterChild]

if there was no hunting thered be a ton of overpopulation. Animals would run out of food and die. a bunch of dead animals laying around=spread of disease

you don't want a bunch of dead animals lying around so you kill them all??

[Lambeux_Janeiro]

The reality is we are a species on this earth just like any other. And although we may not necessarily need to kill to eat, killing to eat is not a bad thing. In one respect I agree with OP, hunting in some respects is lowly, especially the hunting of specific animals like lions, wolves, eagles, elephants, the great apes...animals seen as trophies. I can see WHY people would want to but its still fukked up in my view.

Read the news. Most of the world is actively engaged in doing exactly this. Head in the sand?

sorry but people have been hunting animals for tens of thousands of years...get over it.

We do. I would bet that the largest killer of humans in the past century has been humans.

C'mon brah....in the end hunters serve a purpose. Hunters who kill but don't eat the animal are not stewards of the land. They are wasteful and should not even be classified as hunters but as killers. Two different categories. Hunters that follow the regulations help keep the environment healthy and BTW....they help support the maintainance the land.

[Pink Dumbbell]

someone post the video of the hot girl getting ****ed on a bear!!!!!!!!!!!

[pharaoh7]

I see nothing wrong with hunting for an actual purpuse. Especially in order to get food or population control.

But if you're one of those rich pricks that hunts in fenced resorts, trolling around the feeding pens waiting for an animal to come before shooting it then you're a b1tch. That's not hunting, you might as well shoot birds in a cage.

says the guy living in a house, or apartment, or dirty hotel room, or carboard box on a sidewalk, where a forest was cleared and those animals were displaced.

[lsuchase]

OP if you eat meat then stfu
however, if you are a vegetarian then i respect your opinion on hunting but disagree
