Thanks for recognizing me. I admit my role, though this is the first hunting thread I've been able to troll if a while. (My private Freepmail discussions of these things initiate are usually quite enlightening, which is why I do it. You don't think I care about the attitudes of manly hunting men, do you?)
Still, hunting is killing for fun. Killing for fun is sick.

Not all hunting is killing for fun. Hunting helped my brothers and I supply our family with fresh meat for our table for many years.

Well, since you're so into strawman arguments...how do ya feel about abortion, the killing for convenience?

Do you kill something every time you hunt? I go hunting alot without killing. Also, please explain why it is "sick".

The kill, if it even happens, is not the fun part for me. It is the beginning of the work. Work to take care of the meat that I just harvested. The fun part is spending time in the woods or field as a steward of mother nature. Watching a fat squirrel climb into your stand, or a fox sneak through the woods, or eagles chase turkeys, that is fun. Or the time that a twentysomething can spend with his 70ish grandfather alone that is special. It is not sick.

You might have felt bad because you killed something for fun or trophy, but I say you were not a hunter. If killing happened everytime, it would not be called hunting, it would be killing.

They're ANIMALS! Get over it you candy-ass. Sheesh. All of you who cry over the poor wittle animals. Animals have to die in order for us to live. For that matter, PEOPLE (terrorists) have to die in order for us to live.

I almost welcome the coming economic collapse just so people in America get back in touch with reality.
