No. Would never hunt or intentionally harm an animal. Am disgusted by the thought that some people still hunt animals for sport. |

No I go hunting for men and track them down |

No, closest to it is hanging out with my bro catching crabs in the hide pools.
They used to hunt deer on my great aunts ranch though.
This is catalogued under 'Sports'? that's disturbing. At least my relatives hunted deer to eat. |

No, I've never hunted an animal, apart from when I was a kid, I used to fish, badly (I once threw the best part of a fishing rod into the river, leaving only the handle) but I wouldn't even do that now. |

I've never been hunting. There's something strange about hunting that I can't quite put my finger on. It's either the fact that we live in a society with a large industrial farming base which makes hunting your own food obsolete, or it's the idea of getting back to nature by shooting at an animal for fun using a modern rifle you bought at Kmart. |

I feel the same way. I never had an interest in killing something for the fun of it. I've been invited to go hunting and called names for not being interested. I was "weird" and all that. |

No, but I have friends and family who have. |

No, dad wouldn't let me go. He was with his brothers and boy cousins (my age). Said it was a guy thing. My sister has taken up the hobby with her boyfriend. She enjoys it but I wish she would give me the venison. Out of love.
Anyhoo, I have no desire any longer to shoot anything, nor see gut piles. My dad always bragged about those gut piles. |

If I may, hunting for meat is a good skill to have. Deer need to be thinned out, the herds are dangerous as their natural enemies have all but disappeared. It is either shooting them for their meat, or putting them down either humanely or with a car or truck. It would be ideal to give the meat to the hungry, but venison is a pricey commodity. That is how it is out here in the midwest. Too many dear make for many highway deaths. In Michigan, Illinois and Indiana, I hear many accidents happen, people hitting the dear and getting badly hurt. |

I didn't notice it being under 'sport'. I know many that hunt, but they don't see it as a sport, really. Many do it for the meat, they prefer it over beef which is so chemically altered anymore, it isn't that good. And it does save hundreds of dollars in food costs to go get the meat and bring it home.
I couldn't do it, maybe when I was way younger, maybe, but I prefer game meat over most of the beef that comes our way. |

Do you tell Georgie about it or is he so well trained that he doesn't care how many men you hunt?  |

No, and as it looks like I never will unless I meet someone who will take me long after I leave the parent's house, though I think I would do it. |

I recall it was good, way back when. Yeah, commercial meat goes though a lot.
I have new plan to save the world - bioGoats! You feed them all your food scraps, and they run treadmills to put electricity back into the grid. ..Possibly more efficient than refining bio-diesel from crops, and makes sure the food passes by people before going into cars.
I had another theory on glabal warming too. The global furnace we've been burning for centuries now. Every person uses nine living rooms full of fuel in their life. That's gotta warm things up a bit. |
| Kristal_Rose |
Highway deaths?? What kind of backward logic is that? Should we knock out the birds so they don't sucked up by jumbo jets?
However many deer are getting killed by cars without sufficient cougars running around, I'm sure the deer population is still much less than it was three centuries ago. If they were 'starving' from more population than nature could support for lack of predators, 'then' you could make such an argument. From what I hear, it's the cougars who are hungry.
The exception is deer protected in parks, then you get these hilarious albino deer hiding behind bare shrubs, visible in moon-light from a mile away (seems to work for them, so much for evolution). |
| cloudhugger |
If the goats won't run on a treadmill--feed the goats to something that will. What about those maniacs that pay good money at the gyms to run those treadmills and bikes hooked up to the grid. Each small town could get monies back from the electric companys and afford to go self sustaining.
I'm not real impressed with corn as a human food source right now anyway. |
| Kristal_Rose |
That was another of my inventions, VR gym suits which could turn any sort of join pivot into power, with VR goggles so they could network with each in battles or building log cabins. The software would create the correct resistances for things like sawing, rowing, and carrying boulders, but they'd never actually leave the spot they were standing in. |

The deer population is far too dense, they are starving anyway. I don't know how you managed to make my comment look rediculous, it isn't logic it's fact out here in the midwest. |

I think this is a great argument for controlling population with birth control. Instead, we let bloodthirsty rednecks that like to cause pain and death shoot them.

Can we not control the population by shooting them and then eating them? |

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or tongue in cheek, but my friends that hunt for meat to put on the table to feed their family are not red necks. My sister and her boyfriend are not redecks. We eat deer because it is better than the crap beef that the government says is safe to eat with all the anti biotics, hormones and slop they feed the cows. And to not get into a cloning beef is OK argument, deer is a step up. Maybe the deer meat isn't that good either, with the pesticides and chemicals constantly being strewn about the country side through chem trails and pullutants, but the are still free range. If the government or some ohter "well wishing" pro animal group were to inject sterilization (hormone treatment) I wouldn't eat the deer. The food in this country is crap, and being a planet of free will, the choices of nutrition cannot be found in a lab, but in the food we eat. The choices are very slim and getting less and less. I am a meat eater and and I have the right to eat meat that is not manufactured. |

Most hunters I have known do not do it for the meat. They do it for the kill. |

There are a few different types of people in the worls. |
| Kristal_Rose |
Well, out on the west coast the scene is different I guess. No starving deer. I've only once ever heard second-hand of someone even hitting one. Around here it's more about saving the last tribe of some gecko or banana slug from a condo or freeway project. I've seen far more deer in parks than glances of them in the wild, even in deer territory.
We don't really have many cougars to speak of either, but those who are here have gotten hungry and have taken to going into town to eat pets in recent years.
I'll take that as a compliment to my language skills; I had to save the deer I thought were endangered. ..doesn't really appear anyone here was really in a toss up whethar or not to shoot some deer anyhow.
They used to eat my garden when I was a mountain-man. I hear there are two natural cures for that, plant marigolds or mix cougar dung in your compost. I wonder if folks are self-employed foraging for cougar dung. |
| Kristal_Rose | | (reply to they) posted 24-May-2008 6:50pm |
Controlling their population with birth control, or ours? Dang kids keep getting hit by cars. Best thin the population some before insurance rates go up.
I don't imagine those deer are nimble enough with their hooves to be using condoms though. |

That sounds like a great idea. Better than the one to thin the deer population.

'eww' on any dung.
It's interesting the differences in so many vast areas ofthe US. What some fight for, others find to be noxious. They had at one time some years ago, to ship the over abundance of deer to some remote area far away from the city. I haven't heard whether or not that worked or not. There were so many suggestions as to what to do with the deer, something must have worked, I haven't heard about them in a few years now. |
