Calling all Hunters/Gatherers

Most of the pigs are over near the coast... So we hunt at dawn and dusk. lay in the sun on the beach during the day, and spend the nights in clubs drinking, the night away... lol... good time.

Come on out... Well make sure you have good time

Hunting is my passion. I am a ethical hunter. Most people don’t relies that sportsmen support animals in many ways. Like planting food plots and the money from licensing. Turkey we almost extinct in the US until the National Wild Turkey Federation stepped in and breed and relocated them.

I love wild hog, pork taste so much better without chemical, antibiotics and hormones.

How about all the damage caused when deer get hit my cars. The hunting limits are set to curb this and starvation.

The best memories I have ae in the woods teaching my grandchildren to respect wildlife.

I'm so happy you wrote this. People think of hunters as one class. Trophy hunters. I'm not anywhere near that category. I love wildlife and respect it. Humane hunting is proper hunting.

Nope. I know a lot that hunt for the meat. I don't hunt, but it's mainly because I'm a city boy that never gets the chance. I have had some amazing venison dishes and some deer jerky that has put anything store bought to shame.

This will be my first season going. I'm pretty excited.
My dad has already filled one bear tag.

After I finish a long run or ride in the morning I practice my duck calls on the drive home. It is my happy time.

I love my Matthew's Mission, and I have my .243 tuned to shoot at almost 300 yards. I will admit I do have quite a few horns on my walls (most are my husbands though), but my husband and I only shoot older/mature bucks, and of course we still keep the meat. We had a bad tornado come through our hunting land a few years ago so we've been taking it easy just trying to get our population back up. This past season we saw more deer in our fields than we had before the tornado hit. We're seeing a lot more younger deer on our cameras, so we're excited about this coming season.

I also turkey hunt but I have yet to actually kill one, but I've gotten close. Squirrel are a bit easier, especially if you've got a good dog. My husband and I are thinking about going hog hunting this year, that way we can bring our own pork to the processor for sausage, we're still doing our research though and looking for the right areas.

Plus my husband and I also grow most our veggies during the spring and summer. We can and freeze (including meat of course) what we don't eat and continue to enjoy it until the next year.

I apologise if I came across as being judgemental, the majority of hunting stories iv read about have been trophy hunting and it absolutely disgusts me plus the fact I love animals and am passionate about animal welfare. Also iv just started becoming vegetarian lol

So anything about animals can get my blood boiling, plus I don't know anything about hunting my reply was genuine I don't understand how anyone can kill and gut an animal, but I do realise now it's perhaps part of tradition and you can enjoy completely free range meat, instead of meat from caged animals which is obviously better.

I still feel kinda bad for the animals...but I'm not judging you, il leave you's to enjoy your hunting

your openness is appreciated.

Been a subsistence hunter for 30 years. Also raise hogs, and cattle, butcher them myself. and I have a 1 acre garden.
