Hunters

[magnolia]

I hate hunting. My brother is obsessed with it. He has all his shit lying around the house and it's really beginning to piss me off since I'm the one who cleans. But my biggest pet peeve is the duck hunters. They fuckin shoot and wake me up, and as soon as one person shoots, u know that whoever else is out on the lake is gadda shoot too. God, it's so annoying to wake up to a gun going off. Plus, then, if my brother or dad are one of the hunters to get anything I have to deal with dead animal parts in our freezer. Yuck! Anyway, I could go on, but I'm too lazy. Fuck hunters. :soldier:

Move out of the sticks, lol ... if there is duck hunting going on that close to your house you must be living it straight up BFE! ... lol

Fucking get over it. Hunting is good and animals are tasty.

Hunting is good, please explain that.. The only good thing about hunting is it controls the animal population..

 

[swizeguy]

I dont see anything wrong with hunting but i do agree that waking up to a gunshot is not exactly my idea of a nice way to start the day..

Hunting is good. It is enjoyable, it brings in revenue for a state, and the game is tasty. When done responsibly, it teaches safety and responsibility. It can be a good family activity. It helps to control the animal population. Many of us participate in a program called "Share the Harvest," in which we donate a portion of our game to local food lockers. Venison is better for you than beef. Wild turkey and goose are good for you. Pheasant is good for you.

Hunting is ethical in its own way since the hunt can have a few animals die relatively quickly instead of having them die slow from starvation.

Lets not forget. That hunting also support public hunting area, which in the spring and summer create a safe place for animails to live, where local farm land kills off the baby animails, by plowing and ripping up feilds. Duck Unlimited helps protect our natural wetlands which are fastly disapearing, that is funded mostly by hunters, and a portion of all federal waterfowl stamps go to funding for the wetlands. When done responsible hunting not only teaches safety, responsibility it goes much greater then that. It gives individuals a sense of how nature and life and death and the food chain work. You can teach your young hunter to only take what they need and can use. Also hunting was the solo way that my family supported themselves so we did not have to seek aid from the goverment. Most hunters and outdoor people care greatly for the wildlife a few random slob hunters are the one that give it a bad name to the rest of us. Also with controlling the hunting population it help keep the animails healthy and from getting sick or over crowding because man whiped out most of the natural predators, so now we have to fill that void.

Also my family mainly hunts ducks and geese. Dead animail parts. You make it sound like they keep whole heads and feet in the freezer. It mostly just brest meat.... the same kind of stuff you can buy in a grocery store, but wild game has a lot less fat on it then farm raised animails, so its better for ya.

Oh and why we are at it. I am against game peservs...... the animail does not have a fair chance being fenced in and taught not to be afraid of people. might as well go to a zoo and blast away.

Rei has a very good point.

While you all have a good point, I hate to see a fricken dear head in the freezer when I go to get something for supper. I hate the hunting thing. Although, it is better to magange the numbers by hunting than to let them all starve to death. Mostly, I hate that hunting season messes with MY sleep. If I wanted to be up at 5 am, I'd be out there hunting with them.

why would u have a dead deer head in the freezer?

Just because you HUNT doesnt mean you live in the sticks......IDIOTS.......There are people that pay THOUSANDS of dollars to go on BIG hunting excursions and they dont live in the sticks......stereotypical morons.....Hunting is a natural instinct in REAL men........I mean that in EVERY WAY....IF you cant be any kind of a provider by hunting what you need to survive than you are the kind of guy or girl that will forever remain single for the most part.......

NOVEL completion, I do see MAGGIES point though, I dont want to see animal parts sometimes either, like eyes or intestines or feet.......

Who the fuck said that hunters only live in the sticks? lol .... I think the point being made was that she lives in a place where hunters .... hunt. i.e. the sticks ...

 

[tzedek]

my entire family hunts, except me. deer season just started today yay. what a fucking waste of time. obsolete human impulses from 100,000 years ago that you have to go out and kill yourself a meal. go to the fucking grocery store would you please

 

[breakology]

Nothing like driving through a rural area during deer hunting season and seeing dead deer hanging from your neighbors basketball goal post to drain the blood.
No place like home, eh? .... lol

GEE I dont know? WHO the fuck said that?? I live in a place where hunters hunt genius and last time I checked it wasnt "the sticks".........but I guess you are the worldly traveler and avid hunter thus knowing that all people that hunt are hunting in BFE as you put it..........

really you don't hang them up to drain the blood.... it takes like 5 mins to get the blood out of a deer

*sigh* do you people hunt?

its not like gutting a pig or cow. Basically you hang them up to remove the hide more easier. Sometimes though if you are in a party and there is more then one hunter and you hunt all day the deer tends to freeze where you can not remove the hide and have to wait for it to thaw, but if ur neighbors are hanging their deer to drain the blood then you should pull in and give them a hunting book on how to clean their kill....My job in the butchering process of the deer is cutting the meat off the leg, washing it and banging it. My bro and Dad do most of the skinning.

It's from the 10 pt. my brother shot during bow season. Once he has enough money he's gadda get the head mounted for the wall.

And kit, just cuz YOU don't hang the dear to drain the blood doesn't mean that other hunters don't. Besides, we just take all of our deer to a processor who we're friends with. WE don't skin the deer ourselves. God, could u be a little more pig headed about how YOUR way is ALWAYS WITHOUT EXCEPTION the right way? People do things differently and they are right too. God.
