Do you hunt?

Question

What animal(s)? Bow or rifle? Do you eat it?

Mackdaddy I totally agree with you! Notice how people will say "its terrible" or "its wrong" but still eat meat. What? Are that cut off from life?

Answer 1

yes i hunt!
i am better with a rifle but i will also hunt with a bow.
i hunt deer, turkeys, squirrels, rabbits, geese, duck, well lets just say anything that's legal.
YES I EAT IT!!! to kill something and then not eat it is wrong. you kill and you eat. that is the way it works....sorry you kinda hit a nerve there.
i started hunting to get closer to my dad after he divorced my mother. i started with turkey and actually enjoyed it. i have been hunting ever sense.

Answer 2

I hunt deer, turkey, spuirrel, rabbit, and groundhog. With a rifle most of the time, but I also use pistol and shotgun. And yes I eat the meat except the groundhog but the meat still gets used I know a guy that loves them.
How does hunting make the animal suffer?? I mean really can some one explain this to me. I'd think for a deer having to run for it's life, then getting clawed and chewed to death sometimes while it's not even completly dead by a bear or wolf is suffering. Or when the population gets to big and every where you turn there are deer and those same deer get hit by cars sometimes only to have their insides busted up but they still live on for a good little while until infection sets in and they die, THATS SUFFERING!!! Also I hate how ignorant people think that you just walk out into the woods see a deer, turkey, etc. and pop a shot off with out regard and wait for the animal to die. No, it's not that easy you have to track the animal, wear camo, try to sneak up on your prey, get with in your shooting ability range and take careful aim to take that animal, because you don't want to just wound it, you don't just want to hurt it. You want the experience of providing food for your family with your own hands, you want the experience of that animal giving it's life so that yours can go on. It's personal, you get to look into the eyes of the animal you harvested, you see what they look like you see the natural beauty of that animal, you take a part of that animal with you spiritually. It's not some big mac or steak from the grocery store. And then you have your steaks that suffer so much, excuse me the cows. They're born, they eat sleep, s***, they breed etc. Then they are humanely put down.................where's the suffering??? They have good food, shelter, protection, no worries of predators, if they get sick they're taken care of, then after a few years they die. Not by some predator, not by some disease, they're put down as painlessly as possible. But they suffered???? How?

Answer 3

I find hunting absolutely disgusting. How does killing an innocent creature make a man feel manly? Give the animal a gun and then it's even.
Hunting is cruel and not necessary at all. I think that ppl who hunt are cruel and men who hunt are just trying to make up for small body parts and women who hunt are really just men in disguise. If hunters want to be really cruel and want the animals they eat to REALLY suffer, just head on down to your local grocery store and pick up some steaks or some spare ribs.....those animals suffer their ENTIRE lives from birth to death, not like the poor hunted animals who suffer when killed for no reason but sport. Oh, don't forget "hunters", if you want meat, why not jet off down to local grocery store in your pick-up truck.

Answer 5

I have before as part of a wildrness survival training, and also trapped and learned to use tha animal and brain tan.
No I am not a man in disguise my friend above! I am very much a woman. We've evolved over millennia by hunting, especially men, its in their genes for godsakes, completely natural and inherent to many of them. I wanted to learn it to know what it means to be able to survive in the wild, and I had been raised as a vegetarian. It wasnt "cruel" to kill for food, its part of life - look around in nature, toots, we're actually part of it! even though we seem to forget If you are against factory farming of animals why in the hell would you suggest to someone that they go to the grocery instead of hunting? Not only is it far more humane for the free animal, it is far more nutritious for us. Your ignorance is in judgement of about every indigenous people on earth, and its obnoxious. Try living off the land sometime and come out of your self righteous bubble.

Answer 6

I find it odd so many people are opposed to hunting, or more specifically killing for food. And yet if they eat meat, or seafood, or poultry, or even plants; they are either killing those things themselves or paying others to do it for them. There have been studies that show plants have emotions, and can fear for their life just like animals do.

Answer 7

I wouldn't exactly call it hunting, but I've killed gophers and pigeons on my property. I wouldn't really want to eat them, although I suppose the meat wouldn't be too terrible.

Someday I will kill and eat.

Answer 8

my husband and sons hunt deer and moose with rifles
yes, we do eat the meat
the boys think it is ok, but my daughters and I would rather have pizza that night :)

Answer 9

Answer 10
