I have shot handguns, rifles and shotguns. It's a fun sport.
No offense to those who hunt. But I personally think it would be a lot more exciting to bow or knife hunt. To me that takes a lot more skill than sitting up in a tree house, spraying deer urine all over the place and blasting poor horny bambi's guts out when all he wanted to do was get laid.My coworker goes bow hunting fairly often and I just sit in awe looking at some of the photos. A true hunter...
Anyone on here watch Sons of Anarchy Season 2??? That's a good reason not to give kids loaded guns...
I agree 100%. We do not hunt, I did as a kid, but we ate everything we killed, mostly rabbits and frogs. Some of the guys at work rent a bobcat, go out in the woods, flatten an area to make a clearing, plant food plots just to increase their chances of getting a deer. Granted, they all bow hunt, but it seems like cheating to me.
On the other hand, deer and hog populations are out of control across the nation, people getting killed, crops destroyed, to the point that towns will pool their tags and hire hunters to come in and thin the herd. I get the point, but some of it does seem counterproductive. The animals are learning, they disappear when season time comes round![]()
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

I personally don't care to hunt, I don't see anything wrong with spending 5-8 times more than a trip to the local supermarket, to harvest meat that is IMO inferior in taste, & possibly tainted with animal hair & feces...sounds great to me...
I just don't see it as a fair fight, them not having opposable thumbs & all like that (unless of course, you're hunting gorillys or monkees...let's leave Michael Nesmith outta this, fo Gods sake...)
My cuz, who is one of the men I've met in my life who I consider "real", makes all his own arrow heads, spear points, bows & knives etc., then with VERY rudimentary provisions, goes to an island on one of the Great Lakes every fall to harvest venison...THAT'S hunting...THAT'S sport.
Just my opine...![]()
