    As a vegetarian, this is sad :(

    I find vegetarians sad. We all have opinions.


    Nice bag and shoes . . . no leather, I am sure.

    As a carnivore I find it sad that you killed and ate the vegetables and greens for your salad....they were living as well....

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

    Love hunting deer, rabbit, squirrel. Hoping to find some time this year to actually get in the woods. Just a point to the anti-hunters out there, if we don't hunt them for meat they will just overpopulate and end up getting hit by your cars.

    Does hunting Terrorists count? I'm pretty good at that...

    Real talk I joined the Army because I enjoyed hunting so much.... I started off with squirrels and birds using a Daisy BB gun when I was a kid. Once I was 13 I was hunting big game with my dad. Whitetail, boar, but my favorite is coons. I love coon hunting.

    I got a great dane I turned into a huntin dog. Loves people, loves other animals just hates coons. Nothing better than the bond you have with your dog after you raise him to hunt and on his first successful kill you feel like a proud father. This dog has turned into my best friend.

    Unfortunately he's a bit old now. Doesn't have the drive he used to have. So now I've moved on to the best game in the world... Terrorists

    I don't understand the concept of taking pictures of an animal you've just killed. Eating hunted meat is better than eating factory farmed meat, but why are you so proud of killing? Could someone explain it to me, please?


    For me it's a memory... a testament to the hard work I put into feeding my family... and a respect for the game I have taken... You don't see that in a supermarket beside chicken breasts or ribeyes, do you? They are just horribly treated untill slaughter.... (I eat them too) at least our game has a fighting chance and a free life... There's MUCH more, but I hope this helps...

    Totally get the 'hunting for food' bit but can anyone explain to me the 'sport' part?

    Blowing an animals head off with a telescopic sight high powered rifle from 5 yards doesn't sound very 'sporting' in terms of a fair fight..
    In Africa, the Samburu and Masai people hunt Lions with nothing more than their bare hands..that sounds more like an even keel to me... I respect your right to hunt, but I just can't understand how this is remotely 'sporting'...

    You have obviously never hunted, and probably don't know anyone who has. I have hunted deer and elk for over 20 years and have never seen one get it's head "blown off", nor have I ever seen or heard of anyone getting to within 5 yards of a deer or elk. If you could get that close, you wouldn't need a scope.

    I hardly believe anyone hunts lions with their "bare hands". In fact, they usually hunt in groups, using long spears and shields for protection. Granted, that is a dangerous (and brave) way to hunt

    The "sporting" aspect comes from the fact that it takes a certain skill to get within 100-200 yards of a deer or elk, due to their powerful sense of smell and hearing. Also, learning where they are and how to track them.

    Additionally, there are laws and ethics that come in to play. All "good" hunters are "ethical" hunters.

    The fact is, harvesting a deer with proper, ethical technique is very safe, honorable and humane. If you tried it, I think you would enjoy it.
