7 Ways Hunters Can Combat The Anti-Hunting, Death-Threatening Lunatics

A few months ago, I sat next to a professional African safari guide on a plane. He confirmed with actual data what I had heard. African countries that ban big game hunting are losing their herds to poachers. Nations that have regulated hunting have herds that are thriving.

Additionally, while she may not eat the meat, she may have fed a village for several weeks. That’s not uncommon.

Perhaps you may wish to re-read Mr. Giles article and internalize it.

Great! I would be tempted to go further with separate pages for those who start or frequently made supportive posts to that site - “Kill Tim XXX (to stop him from Killing KJ)”, Kill Amy XXX ... etc. etc.

” I thought they were sawing their horns off to stop poaching (so there would be no reason to kill it).”

Yeah, that’s so they can advertise “cruelty free” Rhino horn. /s

Perhaps you may wish to re-read the thread and see which poster said she shouldn’t have shot it; I couldn’t care less if she was just feeding hyenas with it.

You’re probably right; when they die naturally, those selling the horns don’t want to be accused of peddling “blood ivory”...

...the left has tried to make the 2nd Amendment all about legal hunting. But when people actually hunt, the left goes nuts..

That's the Catch-22 that too many of the Elmer Fudds(hunters) don't understand when the anti-gun forces say they're only against the evil black rifles

Only when they weaken the Second Amendment to cover only hunting weapons will their true agenda turn to outlawing all hunting and once that's accomplished, there will be no need for guns in private hands.

Luckily, less and less Fudds are falling for this tactic.

Here in Florida there are quite a few who sit in the back of their truck and used dogs.

Not positive about game laws in Florida but it is illegal to shoot wildlife from an vehicle on a road right of way in most states and Federal lands.

Hogs are not an indigenous species in North American and are destructive to native flora and fauna so hunting them to extinction(highly improbable) is helping protect the native species. Much like killing feral pythons, anacondas and other pets let loose and are now eliminating natives animals.

Deer populations are native to this continent but, thanks largely to man's activities, are exploding to numbers unheard of before the white man cleared away the forests and turned them into farmland and suburbia that feeds and protects herds from it's natural predators.

So despite PETA's and anti-hunting activist propaganda, legal hunters are actually aiding in the propagation of wildlife both by culling overpopulated species AND providing wild areas supported by by their hunting fees.

I have no problem with actually hunting deer, problem I have is the way it is done here. This is not hunting, to bait and feed animals and basically give the animal no chance takes no skill, no effort, and is just unfair to the animal.

We are covered up with deer and at certain times of the year on the interstate you might see one/mile, dead on the side of the road after being hit by a car. During hunting season I have seen herds right next to the road on state no hunting areas. I was in the car business and can not tell you how many cars I have seen totaled by hitting a deer. This is Central Ky, and I am from E. Ky. I always used to tell my customers that we hunt our deer with guns not cars. They need to be thinned out more in this area badly. I have no problem with hunting I just believe the way it is done here is unsportsmanlike and actually gives the sport a bad name, and provides ammo to outfits full of nutcases like Peta.

Anybody waiting to hear anything from NOW should be prepared for a long wait. President Bush freed millions of women from a 13th century brutal fiefdom and was excoriated daily by these harridans. Now those women are being kidnapped, raped and killed by even more of the troglodytes, but because the President has a “D” after his name, they dare not speak a word in those women's defense. Maybe they are too busy getting their daughters uterus scraped of unsightly growths.

Did she kill or tranquilize the big game animals she hunted?

Well then we are of the same mind concerning hunting.

Although I was never much of an hunter(I prefer my meat marbled and not "gamey")I was brought up hearing marvelous stories of how difficult it was in bagging the big one, not just getting a buck with a big rack(although that was important, too)or waiting in a unheated, damp duck blind early in the morning at an chance of getting one's limit of goose or ducks

"Caged hunts" seem to go against the spirit of the hunt, fighting the elements, the odds and the uncertainty of actually getting anything.

"knowing" that no matter what you do, you're guaranteed to bring in an "trophy" has all the thrill of going to the supermarket and picking up an rump roast.

Can't say there's much to brag about "shooting Bambi" at an petting zoo.

[Foundahardheadedwoman]

Exactly the way I feel about this method. Not the way I was taught and a man should have to earn that trophy. I just don’t see the point.

I hunted when I was very young and to be frank gave it up one day because of some poor shooting that caused unnecessary pain to the animal. I put away my guns because I figured anyone who shot that badly shouldn’t be in the woods.

Now fishing is a different story. I am not a good fisherman but I am lucky as hell. Enjoy the taste of fresh caught fish much better than anything store bought, just has a better flavor.

I started shooting again because for some reason it relaxes me and my eye has returned. I shoot trap and long range targets. Reminds me of golf, you envision the shot how you want to shape it taking in all the variables and when it goes where you intended, it is a great feeling. I have wounded or killed many clay pigeons and paper targets. Have to say though that they are not good eating.

HaHaHa, that’s funny.

Again, agree with everyhing you said.
