Hunting as a sport?

[fogg88]

Okay, here's everyone's chance to flame me and call me a pussy, etc.

...what's up with people who consider hunting a sport, and call themselves 'sportsmen'? Where's the sport in wearing camoflauge, dousing yourself in animal piss, hiding up in a tree, and using a high-power scope to shoot at an animal 100 feet away who doesn't even have a clue that you're there? ...or shooting a shotgun into the air into the middle of a flock of birds, and getting all happy when one or two fall to the ground? Pretty unsportsmanlike in my opinion.

Now... maybe if you trained monkeys how to use guns, got them really pissed off, dropped them off on an island, and then had to hunt them down... that would be a little more sport-like.

...oh, and for the record: I'm not a vegetarian or a liberal, and I am pro-gun.

...just like Ice-T in Surviving the Game? You remember how that turned out. And yes, my life is just like the movies, so I would take you all out, one-by-one.

Try hunting with a bow...Now that takes some skill !

My man hunts for the game meat...Not for the trophy!

How you gonna take me out if I'm in camo, doused in piss, hiding up in a tree, using my high powered scope on my gat from 100 feet away and you not even knowing I'm there...something to think about ehh???

See, now that's fine if you're hunting for the food. I think it's far better for an animal (deer or whatever; no cow hunting, damn!) to spend it's life running around in the woods and then be taken out quickly, rather than just spend it's life in a filthy box, waiting for slaughter.

But... to just shoot an animal and then leave it there, or take it home and stick its head on your wall... what's the point? That's like taking pictures of someone you jumped from behind and being all proud of it.

Well, if Ice-T can do it, so can I.

But again, you're illustrating my point. Sure, you could take me out pretty easily, but where's the sport in it. There would be more sport if you came down and took me out with a knife, because at least then it'd be two-sided.

I agree with this. I think you should only kill what you are going to eat. I don't agree with the no cow hunting I would love to hunt hunt cows if they let me because have you seen the cost of rib eyes lately and I hate cows?

Go for it! If the Chupacabra can hunt cows, you should be able to also.

I bow hunt for sport, and have been for 10 years now. Unless you know everything hunting, you have no right to make an opinion. Just like with anything else, if you are uneducated in a subject you cannot fully see the full picture.

I bowhunt as a sport, and yes sitting up in a tree in camo and different scents is a SPORT. You say it is easy, you are TOTALLY WRONG. There is so much more that goes into it. You need to study the land, study the deer in the area, their daily routines, times of the day when they are moving and feeding. Same as any other sport, you need a game plan, need to do your studying and practicing. You can hunt your entire life without killing a deer, I know people that have done this.

I hunt for the trophy, to hang on my wall. But the rest of the animal does not just get left to rot in the woods. I donate it.

Project Venison was established in 1991 to give hunters an outlet to help give something back to the community. Through the generous donations of deer by hunters over the years, we have helped feed thousands of needy people throughout the country.

any questions?
