Thankfully, we have moved past the ugly lynchings of bears that took place in the 30s and 40s.
To: Sub-Driver
On the first day of the hunt, the NY Daily Mirror (usually a somewhat conservative sheet)
headlined the story with:
62 BEARS KILLED BY TRIGGER HAPPY JERSEY HUNTERS How's that for a gratuitous smack in the face ??
(Glad I don't hunt any more !)

How can one defend killing, without innocent life being at stake? Enjoying shedding blood, ending a life, even that of a dumb animal, is the mark of a deluded person.
To: warchild9
OK, so you believe it's NOT acceptable for someone who has access to a supermarket to kill for consumption.
Now I will draw that parallel I hadn't drawn before.
On one hand we have someone who buys a license, goes out into the woods, kills a deer, has it skinned for gloves and a coat, and has it butchered to fill his family's freezer with venison.
On the other hand we have someone who buys a license, sets up shop as a butcher, kills a cow, has it skinned for various leather products, and butchers it to put beef into the freezers of various families.
What on earth is the difference?

"What on earth is the difference?"
The butcher is just not that rich of a target for that person wishing for an empty exercise in moral vanity.
To: Bluntpoint
How about this beauty?
To: warchild9
Again, with the manly thing.
You are the one that is name calling and trolling, and you try to pin that on other people. Typical liberal debating trick.
Ooh, look, I called you a liberal! Now I'm doing it! Ack! I'm not manly! Help me warchild, help me find my inner vegetarian manliness!!!!
Manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly.
I'm just trying to meet catch up to the number of times warchild has said 'manly' in his hunting related trolling. Dang it I'm still behind!
Manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly manly!
MANLY!
To: Sam Cree
There are three kinds of hunters:
1. "Cultural" hunters, like I once was, who grow up in a culture where it's normal.
2. "Spiritual" hunters, like yourself, who consider it part of the natural. I don't speak of you, particularly, but I get arguments like "Hunting makes me one with nature." I answer that attitude puts humans on the same level as animals, who have no choice but are part of a system which requires them to kill, and we've grown beyond that level.
3. And there are subsistence hunters, who have been discussed.
4. Oh, and there's sadists. We don't need to talk about them.

Actually, being trigger-happy will get one a lot of misses, and no success. The headline was written by someone who has never hunted.
To: dsmatuska
When that bear wakes up he is going to chew the
sh@t at you!
To: warchild9
You remind me of the joke about the bear hunter.

And be careful mentioning your an ex-hunter. You've got to be able to handle these people.
To: agrace
A butcher kills dispassionately. A hunter kills for fun, regardless of what they say. If it wasn't fun, they wouldn't go through the expense and bother. It was fun for me, when I hunted, and I would never be able to have been a butcher, because to kill without feeling struck me, even then, as coarse.
To: flashbunny
You forgot "liberal." Waste some bandwidth on that.
After you've vented, come back and we'll talk.
To: Redcloak
Okay. So? What is the joke about the bear hunter? Don't leave me dangling.
To: Bluntpoint
Thankfully, we have moved past the ugly lynchings of bears that took place in the 30s and 40s. LOL!
Wonder what size hook they used on that guy? :-) Damn. I'd hate to see what some of these folks say about fishing!
Wonder if they would've let out-of-staters participate? I have an S&W 500 I'm itching to try.
