    Well, I still have not "pulled the trigger" so to speak.
    Time just keeps getting away from me.

    I am a hunter :) Born and raised in Montana and have been hunting since I was 12. I hunt with a .308 Savage accutrigger, short barrel tactical with a Viper Vortex scope. I reload my own ammo. I am a very very good shot, I can easily hit 600 yrds and have hit the 1000yrd mark on my 3rd try :)
    Got my moose (46 1/2in wide double brow tines, very heavy) at the age of 13 and shot him near Canada. Got my first elk at the age of 14 down by Yellowstone Park in Gardner.

    My tags this year are already filled. I got my bull elk and muley buck already :) Now just waiting for more snow to hit the ground then I will be coyote hunting and maybe a wolf.

    I live off of venison, I don't even know the last time I bought beef lol

    Who said women can't hunt lol

    I also fly fish:)

    Wanting to kill an animal...for 'fun'?

    Sounds absolutely desperate.

    I hunt for fun and for the meat that currently fills my freezer. It's not desperation, it is about being close to your food source and enjoying the outdoors.

    Hunters have done more for the conservation of wildlife than PETA ever will.

    I have mixed feelings about hunting. I do not understand the joy in it, but I would much rather have my meat come from a dear that lived free its entire life than from a factory farm.

    And shame on the people who say they wouldn't eat meat if they had to kill it themselves. That animal was probably treated much more humanely than that beef from kroger. (Yes this is me judging. Feel free to judge me for judging you).

    I do believe in eating meat, but I only buy meat that is locally grown and raised and all free range (Actually free range, not just that they have access to a window).

    **stepping off soapbox now**

    I hope everyone has a fun and SAFE season! Make sure to use as much as possible from the animals you get! :-)

    As a meat eater just like nature intended, I could care less what your opinion is! Dont get me wrong, you are entitled to your own opinion but please start a thread about it etc.

    Went out this last weekend came up empty. Drives me NUTS that when I kick up roosters I got my brush gun in hand and not my shotgun but then I spook out the deer with my shotgun in hand not a rifle!

    GAH!

    From now on I'll have my shotgun and my Glock on hip beings my states new laws allow for lower pistol caliber on deer.

    It as been the story of my season this year. I had the rifle once when i needed a shotgun and had the shotgun when I needed a rifle. I am going a similar route. I have a scoped .357 I'll carry with the shotgun. I live on a mountain and shots are rarely over 100 yards or so.

    As a carnivore, I find it sad when I see animals starving to death because of overpopulation.
