The research has a flawed source of data. Magazine writers, of any genre`, are known yarn spinners and predisposed to mangling metaphors. Many of us on FR have worked, or played, in areas were there there are popular magazines written on the subject. How many times have we had to laugh at the pure bunk being written about a subject that we know about by some ignorant moron who has nothing more than a journalism degree. The study reflects more about writers attitudes (and insecurities) than it does about hunters.
It's true. You can't make it up. I think I get some of my best comedy here on FR. I don't need to watch comedians on television at all. I can laugh all I want right on here - what a bunch of bozos.
Rush is even talking about this today.
And I thought it was just because I like venison.
The men I know who hunt are gentlemen. Are these some of MODO's friends or just lesbians? And NO, you can't make this stuff up.
Oops. I didn't even read all of your title.
I must get Rush on a one hour delay.
Are you hunting beaver or are you hunting beaver?
Clifton Merrit, publisher of Animal People newspaper, believes this also. I once had a long discussion with him where he told me his research proved all the people who hunted as children become killers as adults.
When I questioned his research he told me I wasn't really a journalist, then he slammed the phone in my ear. He, of course, calls himself a journalist.
bttt
Just heard it. Just the usual we are men we are evil crappola.
Well, that and the fact that hunting is good for finding stuff to eat.
By the way, doing my duty as my tagline indicates I just looked thru the DUmmie postings and so no mention at all of this story. Usually they are all over anything Rush reports on. Love how they try to avoid anything that automatically makes them look like fools. But then again, they always seem to comment on things and end up looking foolish anyway. There is time, it may turn up yet
Mixing Sigmond Freud and crack cocaine.
I wonder what would happen to a male professor's tenure if his study claiming compusive shopping was linked to a woman being more bitchy.
You can't make up for the time Rush wastes discussing sex, mistresses, etc. UGH
With *very* few exceptions, all of the hunters that I know are conservative, well-adjusted people that are far more environmentally in-tune than any enviro-wacko that I've met.
Furthermore, the decision to carry and fire a weapon is a tremendous responsibility. I think that these authors would not be up to the task, and are projecting their own inadequacies onto those that they dislike.
The author is probably not aware of another study that found that hunters are better lovers than non-hunters. The study based this conclusion on several characteristics of hunters:
1. Hunters spend more time in, and go deeper into, the bush.
2. Hunters shoot more often.
3. Hunters eat whatever they shoot.
Strange, I though getting a doe tag was a bit homo.
