Let's Converse about HUNTING............

[AAP]

Believe it or not, I used to deer hunt every single season, even using a bow just to get a one month head start on gun hunters.

I can tell you it is no sport. I only saw that after I gave it up. You are sitting up in a tree or worse.. a fucking cover all blind. Wearing fox urine to cover your scent. camo to break up your silouette. illegal bait to lure them closer because your Lasik needing eyes can't see far. A scope to really insure accuracy on a weapon that would be better for use in sniping enemy troops hidden inside a tank. Running hollow point bullets so that on the off chance you like, miss and hit a flank, they will expand enough to severe an artery in the neck region or something.

It ain't no sport.

Come to the South or Florida and hunt man ..

Woods so thick you are lucky to have 1.5 seconds to see a deer/hog aim and shoot
it before it takes off dodging and disappears into the trees and palmettos.

They will likely smell you or hear your from 200 yards away anyhow and move away.

True Hunting isn't as easy as some make it for the most part.
True, some places you do shoot across open range at animals standing still.
But this is fairly rare from my experience and others.

It can be a challenge and worth the effort and sadly most times you come out of the woods empty handed unless you are Skilled/Lucky or doing something Illegal.

My dad worked Heavy and Highway Construction for years in PA. In the wintertime, there was no work. Our family lived off fish and game meat that he provided by hunting and fishing. Fuck you and your lofty "I am better than a hunter" idealism. It is quite unbecoming and leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Who cares if it is sport to you or not? Next time you eat beef, go butcher it. Want a ham? Go to the farm, hit it between the eyes with a sledge, scald and scrape the hair off it and hang the meat in a smoke house.

How can it be cheating? From a biological standpoint, it means we have become more adapted to our environment. We no longer need to use our bare hands. Our intelligence has enabled us to go beyond the limitations of our rather horrible stregth to size ratio and kill an animal by the smallest amount of energy needed. Nature is lazy

Thanks you for saying "converse" instead of "conversate"!!!

The way I look at it,
Sure, I have a gun and higher or broader mental abilities than say a deer.

But, to even it out

can I smell a deer from 200 yards away ?
can I run 30 mph dodging trees ?
can I jump 8 ft off the ground ?
can I see clearly in near pitch dark ?
can I hear the slightest sound ?
do I know the territory so well because I spend 24/7/365 there ?

Yep, nature is very lazy. Let the hydrogen bombs fly. We smart like that.

it only becomes a sport once the deer have guns too.

otherwise it is just "hunting".

I dunno, I'm the type that would love that winter lifestyle your dad provided. Wild meat from hunting all the time? mmmmmmmm. Talk about appreciate for food.
