Im schedualed to go for the first time in about 3 months (after my friend gets his gun) He wants me to come with him, and I wanna go for a certian reason to get practice. (dont question me!) But I've never really killed an animal before, so I dont know how im going to.. do. Ya know? I mean, my friends in the Army reserves, that's all he does for months is sit there and shoot at things. Im just afraid im going to kill a little deer and start to cry my eyes out or something stupid like that.

I was just wondering does anyone here hunt, and what's it like?

If you need to hunt to survive it's o.k. but to do it as a sport for only the sake of killing it's bad.

lots of people hunt for fun. Im not talking about just killing an animal then being like.. meh.. and leaving it. You'd kill it, and skin it and eat the meat and what not.. Im not cruel.

Yeah, lots of people kill animals. How the fuck do you think you get steak? As long as your using it for food, why the hell should It matter? Im a omnivore, I wasnt given my sharp teeth to knaw away at a damn carrot or some shit like that. Those teeth are used to rip through flesh and meat and by god that's what i'll use um for.


Why the hell am I talking about this on whats most likely a board full of Vegans? :confused:

um....gosh wow. I really dont know where to begin here. Just because lots of people kill animals, doesnt make it right, killing is not a sport. I dont eat meat, its not about the meat...its a small sacrifice that I can make because I believe they should have a choice. I'm not even going to get into it with you, because it will fall on deaf ears anyway.

no she's right, it is kinda pointless. I mean, no matter how hard anyone tries, there's no way they're gonna change my opinion or what im gonna do. It's like someone telling me dont shower, as much as they tell me no, im still gonna say fuck you and go do it, because it's something im itching to do.

I mean, I believe in trying everything at least once, If I try it and I hate it, im never going to do it again, if I try it and I like it, im gonna do it, but im not going to abuse it.

If she is going to eat the meat, I respect her more than most people who go to the store and pick up a steak.

But if you want practice, I don't see the challenge about shooting a gun to hit a giant ass buffalo. Now a tin can at a hundred yards, ok.

RaZoRbLaDe KiSs
08-31-2006, 06:10 PM
I already do have lots of practice with tin cans and CD's and things like that, but there's a huge diffrence between shooting a tin can and shooting an animal. I've never done it before, It might have some kind of tramatizing affect on me, and if it does then I'll know, Im sticking to tin cans, but I've gotta try it. It's like... I dont know, wanting to get a tattoo or something your whole life and you never get it, and then your on your deathbed and your wishing "damn I wish I would have got that tattoo."

I would NEVER kill something just for fun. I would never shoot a dear or something like that and leave it there to rot, That's just wrong. If your putting good use to what you get from the animal I dont see how there's anything wrong.

Like I said, It's the same thing as eating a steak you buy from the store.

humans don't have very sharp teeth compared to our ancestors, that WERE vegetarian, or our relatives the chimpanzees (mostly vegetarian, very occasionally they eat meat) or the gorillas (FUCKING HUGE canines (http://www.uwyo.edu/RealLearning/Linguistics/photos/stills/gorilla/gorilla.jpg), and completely vegetarian). so don't start with the teeth argument, because that's not necessarily true. humans and our ancestors have only been eating meat for the last few hundred thousand years. our teeth have actually gotten smaller.

I stayed with some friends for a weekend, and their dad took us pig hunting. I must have been about 9. Anyway, if you've ever seen the sequel to 'Once Were Warriors', you'll have an idea of what a small wild pig looks like.

So we're in the bush, my friends' dad has a shotgun, and five of his best dogs. And we hear this rustling, the dogs start going crazy. And this tusked beast, jaws slathering with the broth of Lucifer's slow-cooker, comes charging out from brush about 100m in front of us. "UP THE FUCKIN TREE! NOW!" comes the call from someone, and the dogs take charge, while us kiddies oblige.

This pig was about as big as a Rottweiler (probably), and had massive tusks which it used to GORE OPEN two of the dogs, right there. The other three dogs had a good go, and then the gunshot. It was probably stupid of this dude to take us hunting, but he didn't make a big deal out of it. I think the 2 dogs died right there, and the others had a bit of a chomp on the fly.

Later on in the escapade, while dragging this thing back, I walked over an embankment on fell down a 20m hill. Hit my head a few times. And the next day we had bacon for breakfast.

Hunting for "practice," jesus fucking christ. Go to a fucking shooting range or by Duck Hunt.

I shot a blackbird out of a tree with a BB gun when I was 11 or 12 and I'll never shoot another living thing as long as I live.

I have lived in Virginia, Florida and Texas. All red states. Red states love hunting. Hey, I used to hunt with my father. When I was 15 I shot my 1st and only deer. I walked over to the deer. He was laying there and something struck me. I thought--Why do we call this fun to kill this creature who was as happy as I was when I woke up this morning.

One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage. I see people wearing it mainly in the winter. They usually wear orange hats. When you're in the woods camouflage makes you blend in. But when you're in the grocery store it does just the opposite. It's like---- hey, there's an asshole.

Mizz Kiss,

I don't think you're a hick. I live in a town full of them. I should know one when I spot one. ;)

However---- I don't like hunting. I DO eat meat, but I couldn't personally go out and kill an animal. I can't even kill bugs (unless they are spiders. I hate those nasty fucks. They aren't bugs, they are fuzzy demons with too many legs!)..anyway... I couldn't stand to watch the life drain out of an animal's eyes because I killed it for the sake of killing it. If I want meat, I will buy a nice steak or something.

I almost went hunting in 7th grade. I had to go through this hunter's safety course and pay 12 dollars and take some test. I did great on it. Then I got this certificate saying that I can legally get a hunters permit. I was supposed to go hunting with my Pastor and some of the men from church but, I ended up getting grounded for not doing my school work (i think) anyway, I bet it would have been fun for me then but, sitting around killing animals doesn't sound like fun these days. You know what IS fun though?

Paintball.

I went paintballing a few years ago and it was a good laugh. It took me back to the days when,as kids ,me and my friends would pretend sticks were guns and made the 'u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u' or 'drdddooo drdddooo' noises

The first time I went I was stationed in the Florida panhandle which is basically southern Alabama, so there where all sorts of long bearded dirty old men out there probably practicing for when their chapter of the klan decides to cleanse the town of all the non-pure folk. Anyway, they would be screaming at each other during the "gun fights" like "Come on brother! Let's attack! Do you really wanna live forever!! Fire!" I got shot so many times because I was laughing too hard to concentrate. It was a blast. I played here in England about a year and a half ago in this indoors paintball joint. It was wild! Actually, I think I'll go again soon.

but really, RBK, are you and this friend of yours really gonna finish a whole buffalo between the two of you?

No, I dont think we will. If anyone wants any though I'd be more then happy to share! :D I dont know, like I said before, I believe that there's a first time for everything. If I do it, and I dont like it, then I've lived and learned. I would never just randomley kill something just to kill it. Like I've said before I find that completley wrong. As long as people are getting good use out of the meat, I dont understand why it's wrong. Who knows, maybe in a few months or so I'll say, nah. I dont want to. What im trying to say though is that this is something I want to do now, and if I dont do it, or dont grow out of it, Im going to be lying on my deathbed one day thinking "damn, I wish I'd done that."

cosmo105
09-02-2006, 12:23 AM
one thing i don't like is people that eat meat not agreeing with hunting. i can understand not wanting to see the truth of what it is to kill an animal yourself for your own food, but that just shows how disconnected you are from the reality of it. if you can't stand to kill an animal yourself for food, then don't eat meat. where the fuck do you think it comes from? do you have the guts to walk up to a cow and shoot it? see it die, maybe even suffer? you can eat a patty of ground beef because to you it's just a circle of food. you don't make the connection that it once was a living, breathing animal. and that it died for your meal.

i'm not bashing meat eating in general. i don't do that. but i think it's ridiculous to say "why would you hunt, that's awful, just go to the store and get some steak." it's bullshit.

i doubt you'll be able to use much of an animal that large in enough time. you should try making jerky out of some of it. it's not that difficult. my main man alton brown has a great way of doing it. (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_29310,00.html)

buffalo meat's actually quite good for you. very lean, no hormones or antibiotics.

The only reason I said buffalo is because to be honest, I dont think I'd take much of a liking to hunting deer, but up in Michigan they have Hog roasts and Buffalo hunts and we were gonna go to one of those.

I was told on both of the hunts, whatever you kill is taken somewhere and professionals skin it and cut up the meat and everything for you, and then they give it all to you.

Some people are raised on the land, and live in a different world to us suburban nonces. Strange, I know.

doesn't nonce mean pedophile?

obviously i don't support hunting. but i'm not one to bash people that eat meat. and if you plan on consuming it and not just wasting it, i can't argue with that.

i may be vegan, but i'm not a warrior hell-bent on converting everyone - or anyone. it'd be really hypocritical of me to do that and at the same time get pissed when people give me shit for being vegan. it's my choice, and it's just how i am, just as it's your choice to eat meat. i may not agree with it, but i'm not about to give anyone shit about it.

If she is going to eat the meat, I respect her more than most people who go to the store and pick up a steak.

But if you want practice, I don't see the challenge about shooting a gun to hit a giant ass buffalo. Now a tin can at a hundred yards, ok.
I agree.

I eat meat. I have guns. I shoot at paper targets. I don't hunt because I am good with handguns but not with big guns and I don't have the patience to sit in a stand in the cold, plus I would worry that my eyesight isn't good enough and I'd hit the deer but not fatally and it would run away and die a slow painful death. I also don't like venizon but I have had some yummy bear sausage from a co-worker. I'm better off fishing and I love the taste of fresh fish. I even like cleaning fish.

I live in a big hunting state. In my state, you get a permit and the DNR regulates the population of whatever you're shooting. If hunters don't kill the deer, they starve. Then the DNR sends in professionals to kill tons of deer at one time. At least the hunters eat the meat. If I were a deer, I'd rather go to a hunter than starve or be gunned down in a mass government execution program.

When I started my present job, one of the first times I went to meet some people who I had to impress in a rural area, a guy came to the meeting wearing his orange clothes and he had a dead deer in the back of his pickup truck that he had just shot on the way to the meeting. He showed it off proudly and I admired his clean shot.

For all you abusive people in this thread: god bless if you're a vegetarian. But only if you're a real vegetarian. If you eat soup and don't know if it's made with chicken broth, etc. then you're a nasty hypocrit. My brother's company has a chicken division and good lord he's got some horrific stories.

thanks. i can't stand vegans that are holier-than-thou snob assholes. and there are so, so many of those. i honestly think they do it just to have something to hold over other people's heads. and they give us a horrible name. clearly it's something i hold very dear to me, and am very passionate about, but it's not something that i would ever feel comfortable with shoving onto other people. whereas i'm more than happy to show people just what they're buying when they shop at wal-mart or some shit like that, because they just don't know...when it comes to the meat eating issue, they already understand it. the decision's up to them.


edit: hrm. i go back and forth on this sometimes. most people DON'T understand the connection between their burgers and the killing floor. and part of me wishes i could PETA it up and force them to watch those horrible videos and show them the truth...but the bigger part of me knows i just couldn't do that.

*note: i haven't read this thread, i just feel like replying*


i could not ever kill an animal. i project human thoughts and feelings onto them that may or may not be there. i think about their babies wondering when mom or dad is coming back.

yet i eat them and wear them. so, what does that make me? i don't know.

i prefer chicken, but i wouldn't be able to kill one. i love fish, and i would certainly go fishing for my dinner, but i don't like cleaning them, though i have done it many, many times as a child. i'd like to learn how to incorporate more vegetarian meals into my diet, but it seems like a lot of work and i'm super lazy. plus, bobby can grill like a motherfucker.

back on topic: if you kill it, it had better be for more than just a head on the wall.

I sense that there is a difference, at least in perception, but what really is the difference between a head on a wall, a fur coat, and a sweet leather purse?

I don't wear fur. It's never come up because I'm probably allergic to fur. I'm even allergic to angora. But I love leather. I don't like the idea of wearing a furry animal's skin. My sister had a fur rug (she bought a lot of odd things at auctions) and I didn't like the way it felt. But almost every pair of shoes I own came from something's hide. In 10 years, will I be too embarrassed to carry a leather briefcase or purse?

one thing i don't like is people that eat meat not agreeing with hunting. i can understand not wanting to see the truth of what it is to kill an animal yourself for your own food, but that just shows how disconnected you are from the reality of it. if you can't stand to kill an animal yourself for food, then don't eat meat. where the fuck do you think it comes from? do you have the guts to walk up to a cow and shoot it? see it die, maybe even suffer? you can eat a patty of ground beef because to you it's just a circle of food. you don't make the connection that it once was a living, breathing animal. and that it died for your meal.

i'm not bashing meat eating in general. i don't do that. but i think it's ridiculous to say "why would you hunt, that's awful, just go to the store and get some steak." it's bullshit.

^unfortunately, that's me. if i see a living animal in front of me, i couldn't kill it. but if it's already dead and prepackaged and cut i can eat it. because i never saw it alive, i guess. i just could not look an animal in the eyes and then kill it and watch it die.

edit: this is not aimed at cosmo, i'm just drunk and speaking from a general standpoint.

maybe it's easy for me to say "well, if people don't eat it and the meat gets thrown out, then it's really died for nothing," but that's how i see it. and maybe i have to see it that way in order to not think about where it comes from. i don't know.

all food in the u.s. seems to come from the suffering of someone or something else. be it meat from the death of an animal to a person who doesn't earn shit and busts his ass to make sure i have my florida oranges at a low cost, there's suffering that a blind eye is turned to. even with organics, there's a person who's being paid horribly under minimum wage to farm the stuff and take it to market, but no one is speaking up for that person and no one seems to yell at people when they're eating salads.

How's it mean to poor baby animals? It's illegal to kill them in the United States. That would be considered poaching. It would be lame if the poor baby animal's natural food source was eaten up by other animals. Then they would starve and decrease the population even more.

I guess that might make hunting obsolete when the animals come closer to near extinction. Problem solved?

I am a certified hunter because I have taken and passed an officially hunter's safety course. (Although I lost my bright orange card.) I don't dress poorly or smell bad and I rarely hunt though. Shooting fake targets with a sawed off shotgun or pistol is a lot more fun for me.
