Yes, I hunt and fish, but I don't kill Bambi. Bambi is a cartoon character. The way it is, if no one would hunt, the animals would so over-populate the planet, they would starve to death from lack of food. The hunt is meant for population control. But even more than that, we hunt because it makes the grocery bill much smaller. We eat what we hunt. We're not in it for size, glory or how big the rack is for hanging on the wall. It's about survival. We can't afford to pay what the grocery store is asking for groceries. If you can, I'm so glad for you. But we can't. And there are many like us. We've even donated the extra deer that we shoot to our local meat packer, who donates it to the local food pantry, to hand out to needy families. So, before making statements that are meant to make a person ashamed of shooting a deer, think about all of those people who are depending on that meat. Besides, shooting "Bambi" would be stupid, because everyone knows there's not enough meat on a fawn to make a difference. And the hunt is late enough in the year, so that "Bambi" is no longer a baby. It's also rare that a hunter would knowingly shoot a small deer. It's just plain stupid. If you spent enough time in the woods, you'd understand what actually happens, instead of reading about it in the paper or hearing all the animal rights people yapping about how the big bad hunter is killing "Bambi". There's an old Indian saying that you should never judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes. Unless you've walked in a hungry mans' shoes, don't condemn him the ability to get his own food. Would it be much better that he steals it? I think not. There's also another saying that says if you give a man a fish, he'll eat for the day...if you teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime. Enough said. <*)))><

BAMBI is fictional. Animals don't talk. Stop looking to a cartoon to back up your view.
Without hunting and fishing, you wouldn't be here. How do you think humans survived before agriculture was invented?

Not what I'd call an entertainment question. I would never kill a deer. I've never hunted. I used to fish, but the cost of a fishin licence goes up yearly, and it just got to be too much.

Hunt, yes, fish, no. It's all part of the conservation of wildlife. It helps keep populations in check so they don't grow too large to the point that the land can no longer sufficiently support them, and the money spent on licenses and tags go directly to programs to help maintain habitat and conservation efforts.

There is only one reason to kill anything...that is to eat.
I go fishing pretty regularly (I think it's a requirement for citizenship in Missourah). Since I prefer catfish, I'm more worried about them eatin' me than vice versa. It's been tried by two different catfish, one of which my kids found on a trot line quite by accident. When the good ol' boys came by to check their line, it required emptying a full 9mm clip into it before they could bring it up on their flat-bottom boat. It hung over each end of the boat, too.
I've been deer hunting, too; BUT, unlike the so-called sportsmen today that jump on their high-powered 4-wheelers and zoom off into the woods, spotting game with a scope big enough to rival the Hubble, and pulling the trigger on an automatic rifle with enough power to take down a Kodiak, I preferred to hunt on the ground. It takes time to match wits with those critters; they're darn smart. By the time they are old enough to be considered fair game, they're already wise to the ways of mankind. I followed my Native American instincts, scouting the place weeks in advance; I looked for bedding areas, rubs, scat and other signs of deer activity. When the season began, I was on the ground before sunup and trying my level best not to do something dumb (not as easy as you might think..ever try to stop a sneeze?). I did not 'chum' the area like those so-called 'sportsmen' do nowadays; I did not carry a weapon larger than what was necessary and I tried avoiding the use of a scope altogether. The deer are smart, but they deserve a sporting chance. So far, they've outsmarted me. Every time, sigh....
Why is there a hunting season? Venison is an excellent source of protein and iron, for starters. A 4-ounce serving gives you 68.5% of the daily value for protein for only 179 calories and 1.4 grams of saturated fat, as well as 28% of your daily requirement for iron (gals, are you listening?). That same 4-ounce serving also includes riboflavin (40.0% of your daily need), niacin (38.0% of your daily need) and vitamin B6 (21.5% of your daily need). And the flavor is delightful with a full, deep taste that is somewhat akin to a deeply woody, yet berry-like red wine. It features a texture that is supple and tender.
There is another reason for hunting season, possibly the most important one of all: the cost of life and property damage caused by collisions with deer.
Deer are responsible for more vehicle damage, personal injury and death than any other animal in the U.S.A.. In states like mine, for example, the odds of having a deer/vehicle accident are around 1 in 3 in any given year. Those odds are higher during deer 'frolicking' season. The average vehicle damage is about $3,000, not to mention the risk of personal injury. Hit a deer head on and it will flip; antlers and hooves are weapons that your windshield and airbag will not stop. Elk and moose are more deadly, weighing 2x - 4x more than deer.
One basic rule should govern the sports: eat whatever you kill. Both sports provide great exercise and good nutrition, as well as food on the table. Often, it helps country families make it through the winter.
I hope this helps further your understanding of both activities. If you have any questions, just give me a holler.

I don't but my family does. I'd always tag along when i was little and cry when i saw them kill the animal. don't get me wrong i love meat but i don't like watching the animal die. Most of all i hate when people hunt for sport.
