hi people i do alot of huntin i was wondering how others fell about this sport

Do you do it for "sport" or do you eat what you hunt?

Just shooting an animal and mounting it's head on a wall annoys me.

Hunting an animal and using it's meat to feed your family is another story.

i always eat what i catch i dont agree in killing animals for no reason even the bones go to the dogs

I used to live on a farm, we were totally isolated with many hours away from the nearest town, no power, no water and we had to rely on being completely self reliant. Which meant we would have to hunt. I rather enjoyed it n i think to some extent it is necessary for survival.

As far as a sport......i guess it depends on what ur hunting. I would be highly against hunting endangered animals, I know where I have lived previously hunting becomes necessary for livestock survival not to mention the pest factor such as rabbits and wild boar.

Im sure there probably are alot of ppl against the killing of animals, but when u have seen the damage some of these animals do to the environment the end justify the means to me :)

i love deer meat but i cant see myself shooting a deer no matter what
my ex hubby went deer hunting one yr while we were still married and he wanted to take my daughter with him (mind you she was 4yrs old) she loved all animals and if she had went she would had freaked seeing him shooting a deer

i wasent going to allow him to take her hunting that was totally wrong

where i live you get a lot of protesters kicking up a fuss about hunting do they not realise mans hunted since they was put here on earth and before man the dinosaurs its in our blood we kill to survive people who buy frozen meat of the shelf and give no thought to where that meat came from annoy me

i totaly agree with you

i'm not big on hunting, but don't say anything to those who hunt... i can get all the food i need at the store... and i can't kill anything for no reason

yes i think 4 is a bit young to take hunting but as your daughter gets older i think she should see where meat comes from

the way i feel about it is if your gonna kill a animal dont do it for fun, but if you plan on using the meat its ok

i understand huntings not for everybody i just dont like people who eat meat and dont agree with hunting i find them ignorant i give alot of meat away to friends and family what dont hunt and they appreciate where that meat came from the wild not some cage bread in poor conditions

I agree with u there, fresh hunted meat is much more healthy n tastes a whole lot better too.

Query though, isnt fishing seen as hunting in a way...........how do most ppl feel about that?

i just don't like killing things...i mean, someone has too, or there wouldn't be any meat anywhere...so i leave it to them... i feel it is not my place to take the life of an animal that just wants what we want, to live...

i also fish alot i fish for sport and sometimes eat what i catch depending on the species anything i dont eat gets released

i love meat, so if i go hunting i eat what i kill. say whatever you want but thats the way its been for thousands of years and more. i dont hunt for the fun of it and i only use a bow to make it more of a challenge.

you must get some fun out of it or you wouldnt want to make it more of a challenge

how do you feel about hunting with dogs

i live in england where theres a hunting ban with dogs except for rats and rabbits

i do get fun out of it, but i only hunt what i plan to eat.

gets older??? my daughter is now 27yrs old
i think she old enough to know where to buy meat or learn of where it comes from......... thanks for the laugh
