Anybody hunt fair anymore? Straight up man vs. wild

"I guess if you kicked one to death with boots somebody would say the boots are an unfair advantage."

When I read your post, I was about to post that kicking one to death would only be fair if you ran it down barefooted.

I think I'll try duck hunting without my glasses. If I can find the blind. Or the boat.

"I don't care how you hunt, to me, hunting over bait or food plots is unethical hunting - so I don't do it."

What I've always said about styles of hunting, ever since we started this website, is that it's different strokes for different folks.

Congratulations, you just repeated exactly what I said. Please note the "to me" and the "I don't care how you hunt".

Reading, it's fundemental... :rolleyes:
 
DammitBoy, what's built into your statement which is offensive is that you take it upon yourself to define as unethical a style of hunting which is regularly seen as ethical by hunters all across the nation.

If you don't like some method, fine. No problem. But don't go name-calling just because of a dislike.

I could not have said it better myself....so I'm stealing it!....^^^ what he said^^^
 
I agree with sam1911 on the first page. I know I am going to make some people mad but how can hunting be fair when most "sports" both sides know thy are in the game. Even if the deer knew it was in the "game" it has only one defence run but how do you out run a bullet from a highpower gun. Sorry if I made anybody mad but I just have never understood the love of killing.

Well, killing is instinctual. As a predator, man is wired to do this, just as a cat is, or a shark. We may deny it, or wrap it up in a shroud of golden arches and the grocer's freezer case, but we all do it or contribute to it (or starve ourselves into vegetarianism).

But we're the only part of the food chain that feels guilty enough about it to try to make it seem more "fair" to the next animal in the chain who's being caught/killed/eaten.

The actual truth of survival comes into view when you stand in the killing room of a slaughter house and observe a line of cows or hogs shuffling in to having their brains concussed and contemplate that it really doesn't get a whole lot more "fair" than that.

But not ME! No tree stands, no food plots, no cameras, no scopes, no scent pads, no boots, no socks, no pants, no underwear, no eyeglasses, no razor, no deodorant, no antibiotics, just me, my fingernails, my teeth and the woods full of god's creatures - most of whom have outrun, out-flown, out-swum, and generally disappeared over the next ridge from my shivering blue butt while I sit nekkid in the swamp chewing on caterpillars and acorns. Ahhh the life of a hunter!

You'd already be the blind. Boating would be unsafe. Please don't hunt near me. :p

That pig kicking thread was truly great. Thanks for the link Sam.

I hope to kill my first deer this year. The "food plots" are regularly and lovingly cared for. I've really only got one safe shooting lane, though :(. I'll be perched on my mother in law's front porch waiting (with a scoped rifle) for the landscape munching freezer fillers to walk by. I'm in this for the meat.
 
Hey I don't eat meat and I am just as fat as anybody. HEHE

The best diet I ever tried was the low carb thing, lost 45 lbs and fit into things I hadn't fit in since I was 20 something. But, I had to start drinking milk, eating tex mex, gained SOME of it back. :D

But, it was a neat diet, stuff yourself with meat, salad and green veggies of your choice. Eat til you puke, or almost til you puke.:D

Please point out where I did any "name-calling"?! :eek:

I said, personally - to me - I consider it unethical, as in it's my personal opinion about how I hunt. It has nothing to do with anyone else.

I even went further and said I didn't have a problem with anybody hunting any which way they felt like hunting. Hell yes I "take it upon myself" to define my own personal ethics!

If you find that offensive, I suggest you cover up that thin skin with a strong sunscreen and a denim jacket... :rolleyes:
 
Obviously. Looks like enough people got their toes bent out of shape and their nose stepped on for now.

Tune in next month when when we have the same debate again.
