Agreed.. I don't believe in killing something just for fun.
I live and work with several hunters around here (mostly for deer) and I am not shy about pointing out my feelings on it to them.
They understand though...
I eat every deer I kill and even donate some to the homeless....Facts are facts...If we didn't hunt them, then they would take over. I am against poaching and the "if it's brown, it's down" hunters as well. But, if a trophy buck or a nice doe comes by, it goes home with me. I let countless deer walk last year, and only brought home 3...1 for me, 1 for my pops, and 1 for the homeless shelter.
Do you ever kill just for their racks?
By the way let me point out that I'm not totally against it, such as in your example given above.
I'm just not going to kill something for food unless there is a shortage in meat, and there is plenty of that at the stores for everyone...
I think I made it clear I never kill just to kill...A trophy buck with a nice rack still get eaten, although I prefer does by far.
Man you'd barely be able to drive down the street without hitting one, and there are a lot of humans killed by wrecks caused by deer yearly. Restricted hunting is needed, poaching is not.
Moose it great, so is elk, wild boar, and buffalo/bison. Hell so is kangaroo and emu/ostrich
Yea, used to be here also. I think it is a shame...
Yea, you have some Monster hogs in your area....Hogzilla...lol I like to hunt ducks and such as well. I've taken a liking to bow hunting here the last couple of years, and Sept 17th can't get here fast enough. Hope to get a couple in the freezer before gun season in Mid October.
