Does anyone else find this as pathetic as I do?

A gun is not mother nature lol.

Hunting animals in an enclosed area is pretty sick. No skill there.
My uncle was an avid hunter for wild game - to him the thrill was tracking.
He took us along when we were kids and we learned alot. There is quite a bit of skill, knowledge and responsibility when tracking game and hunting the correct way.
The fuckers shooting fish in a barrel like that have no idea what they're doing. My uncle taught us about respecting the game - not to kill too young or a mother with young; the importance of a clean kill; preserving their habitat, etc.
He taught us how to use every part of the animal and we always ate what was killed. He leveled the playing field a bit by only hunting with bow and arrow. I thought that was the coolest part.
He did get a bear once using a crossbow - certainly not 1000 lbs.
Btw, bear meat sucks hard.
Those fuckers running/patronizing those game preserves suck harder though.

oh like you guys don't wanna shoot a bear in the face.

So admirable.

exactly i tried to explain this to hunters (im a vegetarian by the way) and i seen this kid maybe about 8 years old and his parents had a dead deer in their car.. it was one of the biggest to be caught in our area in a long time...and they were all excited and everything and i had to ask how killing an animal stuffing it and sticking it on your wall is something to be proud of...would you kill your child and stuff it and mount it on your wall? nobody said anything when i said it, except for some asshole asking if i wanted a hamburger, only to be letdown and noticeably embarrassed when i said i was a vegetarian....

training a child to kill in any situation unless necessary for like a zombie attack or something...is just retarded, and gets them to think its "ok" to kill for fun....

sick bastards

I can understand hunting for food, but who the fuck wants to eat a damn bear?

[Stirling]

I keep hearing about wild salmon being non-sustainable and getting rarer and rarer, yet everytime I turn on the Discovery animal planet there's brown bears scooping them out of the rapids like there's no tommorrow.
Once again it's one rule for brown bears scooping wild salmon out of the rapids like there's no tommorrow, and another for the rest of us. It makes me sick.

[Sleazy p. Martini]

i once read a book that was about humans being hunted.

I ate bear once. I made a roast out of it. I still get the nasty shivers when I think of how it tasted.

What do you want to bet these men are packing 4in between the both of them?

[gorygirl666]

This is how i see it, I am against animal cruelty in every way imaginable. I believe that no animal should be harmed (unless its self defense or another situation in a similar manner)
in the same way i believe no person should be harmed unless they deserve it...

So killing a bear or pig or deer or any other hunted animal for sport is the same as killing a child, skinning it and getting your picture taken...They feel pain just as we do only their emotional level is not at our par it is pretty close (depending on the animal and its socialism and how it is treated)

I do understand the whole population thing but they can slow population in other ways, giving a 5 year old a gun and telling it to kill a helpless deer is wrong in all ways, I hate hunting season around here and i hate exposing children to death at that age.

I see no reason for hunting an animal as sport...animal population can be controlled by other means and this is just a waste of time and money.

hahaha they probably are. the only sporting pursuit a real man follows is hide the sausage. that's it.

[NaturalSelector]

I agree with the poster

[enigma]

Some of you know about hunting brown bear even with a gun a wounded brown bear will fuck you up.Just because you have a gun don't mean the bear can't get the upper hand on you.

[zzznxjdhdsfs]

A brown bear like that one would probably be pretty fishy-tasting, but grizzly bears from up north farther get less fish, and eat more berries, and are smaller--they aren't that bad to eat, actually--I can tell that one's from southern Alaska: it's pretty big!

Black bears can be very tasty, if you get one that hasn't been eating fish or garbage...the brown bears won't let them get near the river long enough to get very fishy, around here.
