    How do you feel about hunting? Not fishing, but hunting.

    I personally think it's cold-blooded. It's not a sport to me. If it was a sport both sides would be fair, and competing for a goal. But this is a one-sided, lop-sided event. In which I would outlaw if I could.

    I figured I would post this seeing the "deer" (lmao) posted in the NFL Forum. There were some replies against hunting and I think everybody needs to give their two cents on the matter.

    The closest I come to hunting is looking for the best pack of steaks at HEB.

    Lmao I hope you're being sarcastic about fishing. Not to say they are lesser creatures but for every one deer their are a million fish in the water. I think you were being sarcastic but if not, I think your brain cells can figure the rest out just fine...

    Fish are pretty much an abundant resource rather than deer or elk that could become endangered. Again any such debate is walking a thin line on comparing the worth of one creature to another, as in fish to a deer, but in any case can be argued easily by the numbers and the game.

    Just talk to Japanese fishermen. Without that way of living, their culture and way of life would not have survived to this day. Fish come and go. Deer and other four-legged creatures are not so abundant.

    ^^ I will edit and clarify again. Of course the same could be said about the first explorers to this country. They had to survive on hunting big game and it was a must to live. But as technology has boomed it is no longer needed.^^

    Hunting to a certain extent should be illegal. Meaning, hunting enough to control the population.

    Of course this is mostly opinionated. As in, nobody is really wrong here. It's about your own morale and personal beliefs.

    no im not being sarcastic. i am coming from the why are fish less of an animal. how is people taking nets and dragging them across the ocean any differnet. and as far as i know hunters are not allowed to kill more than like 1 deer a season. are there people who kill more? yes. same as with any regulated sport/hunt/fish. do people keep fish that are too small or keep more than 1 red that is over 28? so youre saying that bc theres different species of fish that any particular fish is ok to kill by the thousands. how about the fact that shark are becoming more and more endangered due to the ds and japs killing them all. how about all the assholes who drag nets offshore and capture thousands of tuna and other fish at a time? and also catch other fish that they dont even want but kill anyway. if fish are so abundant why are there being more and mroe laws placed in effect to protect them. have you opened an issue of tide magazine or cca, formerly the gcca, and read aout how fish are rapidly dwindling in numbers.
    i guess theyre right, ignorance is bliss in your case.
    and again, do you sleep better at night bc your hands arent dirty? all you have to do is go to heb and pick up that slab of meat. i'd rather go out and shoot something, even if its not fair, then go to a store and bjuy meat from an animal that was led into a slaughter house and killed.

    LMAO one deer a season? No. There are limits that vary in each state. A lot more than just one per person...

    The reason why laws are being placed to protect fish is because people are killing more and more and not do enting it and doing it illegally. Therefor the law pimp slaps those who are caught violating.

    Now. You have claimed I am ignorant therefor causing me to end any furthur debate with you seeing how you cannot differenciate a need and a want. Moreless insulting someone with a different opinion.

    Read more books!

    I said in the other thread this: Regardless of whatever creator you believe in or whatever to do in that subject it is sort of obvious to me what animals were put here for our well being and what animals were put here for their own right to live. As in if you point a gun at a cow it will stand there, it won't run. Where as if you point a gun at a deer it will freak and run. It will run regardless. Thus creating the chase. Or what some ..people... call a sport. That isn't a sport.

    I would love to see a deer pop out of the bushes with a 30/6 aiming at a guys head and see how he feels.

    Again, I'm done with you. Try not to insult someone when you wanna prove a point. And I advise you never to try and battle blog either.

    I wanna make it clear for anyone reading this. I don't think any less of a person who hunts for sport. For kicks, just cause it's fun. I think they are wrong, but I don't think any less of them as a person in this world. That's the beauty of an opinion. And being able to co-exsist in a friendly manner.

    It's pretty sad that we live in a world where if someone doesn't agree usually they are automatically labeled an idiot, or ignorant. We are all guilty of labeling society though.

    And I can't spell worth a flip.

    I like fishing...catch and release. Every now and then I might catch a charter out on Lake Erie and go walleye fishin. That is when I keep fish. Walleye and Perch...hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm.

    Anyway, on the hunting issue. They should make it mandatory for people to use knives and close quarters combat.

    I fish too. I alway release though.

    I agree 100% on your 2nd line. Seriously, that is one cool ass idea. Then we can find out who are real hunters and who aren't.

    I didn't like the way your poll was worded because I think most hunters eat their kill; it's not just sport. If you're not a vegetarian, it's hypocritical to have a problem with hunting. At least hunters are honest and they do the dirty work themselves.

    I agree with what you said but i think Hunting FOR SPORT is the issue here.
    I know it's pretty much the same to kill a cow with a pneumatic hammer than kill a deer with a rifle.
    But doing it for sport? Enjoying the "sensations" of killing?
    If you want to practice with a moving target, there should be a lot of artificial ways.

    That's where I see it. When my dad and I used to go hunting or fishing, we always ate everything we could and give the rest to friends/neighbors, etc.

    Back then, I lived in a small town in the country, so everybody in your area could share with each other.

    I don't have a problem with it or with people who hunt. , I'd probably still hunt if I had time.

    I may have worded it bad.

    "I think most hunters eat their kill; it's not just sport. If you're not a vegetarian, it's hypocritical to have a problem with hunting."

    I don't see how that makes sense, would you explain...?

    And that's not doing the dirty work. That's not even work. Doing it with a knife close combat like mentioned above would be doing the dirty work. You have a gun, there is no dirty work involved. But it is dirty though.

    While I can't speak to exactly what she meant by that, it seems that she's saying if you eat meat (which is essentially being killed in the same manner for people to have their Big Macs), then having a problem with hunting would be hypocritical.

    If I'm wrong, Summers, my bad.

    Yeah I did word it bad. I don't think I can edit it though.

    I just don't know where hunters are coming from therefor I worded it bad I guess.

    Of course you freaking eat what you kill. That has nothing to do with nothing in this case. It's more about why go hunt and murder something when other kinds of meat at a grocery store are already provided is what I am wondering. But of course you better eat what you kill. If I knew someone killing and not collecting the carcass and using is for beneficial needs I swear to God I would bust his ass whide open with a paintball gun.

    No.

    You do not hunt cattle. You do not hunt chickens. Therefor that makes no sense to me. It seems the way our world was created was, some animals were provided and others were not. Therefor, again, why go chase and kill something when it's already provided. You just have a taste for that kind of meat or the thrill of killing it? I don't get it.

    I think it has something to do with this case. The meat in your store got there through the same "one-sided, lop-sided event" you spoke of in your first post.

    Why?

    Hunting is a sort of a North American thing I think. America has literally made it into a huge popular game. I know hunting accurs all over the world but the USA made it into an industry.

    Where as people in Europe who might not come from a culture used to going around with a gun and chasing down innocent animals don't get why the that's even fun. I'm assuming of course.

    I mean a lot of people eat meat and never give a thought to where it comes from, but will tell you hunting is disgusting and cruel. It's not any more humane to eat beef just because you didn't kill the animal yourself. I grew up on a farm and we raised and killed our own chickens. Would it have been more humane of us to run to HEB and pick up store-bought chicken instead? If you eat meat, somebody is killing an animal.

    I think it's fine. I don't agree with hunting for sport, but it's fine if you actuallyu eat the meat. I've had some great deer in the past. I catch and release though.
