Why so little interest in hunting on the forum?

Last fall in WVA south of Morgantown.

And then there was the time I kneed a Redhead...

Once making a high speed air boat run in the dark, while I was sitting in the front, a Redhead duck jumped off the water in front of the boat. The duck hit my left knee which was probably going about 30 MPH faster than the duck. The guy driving the boat cut the engine to check on my welfare. I was wearing heavy waders and was OK, but the duck was flopping on the deck with a broken wing. We took a duck before legal shooting time that morning, but did not fire a shot. Latter in the day one of that duck's cousins came by the blind and that guy guards my fire place now.

mascerated

Now,I LIKE that word. Is that kinda a combination of "massacred" and "mutilated"?

I used to really enjoy bird hunting, especially quail. Between my bad knees, and no birds available, I don't hunt much any more, but I do love to shoot Prairie Dogs. I know that is probably very politically incorrect, but I see it as removing an unwanted pest from cattle grazing grounds. I think the ranchers should pay us to remove them, but it is usually the other way around where you now have to pay for the privilege of shooting them. (You'll note I said shoot, not hunt them).

I am up to talk about hunting all day if you want? I just lost my last 2 farms to developers and then the 3rd farm that I had rights to for 8 years I lost because some doctors from out of state offered the farmer $10k for 2 months...which happens to be during deer season here. Hopefully, I will fair better this year.

Now hunting for game to harvest and eat is a good thing. To hunt just for the antlers or maybe the big tusks, or be able to have a polar bear stuffed for your living room...Not so much.

I used to hunt when I was just a young pup. But now, I have a hard time killing anything....Somehow I'm always reminded of the final scene of the DeerHunter, where Robert De Niro sees that large buck up on the hill all majestic...That's sort of the way I feel now. I'd rather shoot it with a camera. OR...........Drum Roll Please!!!!!






Go to Montana and take all the road kill I can find

I wouldn't live anywhere that you can't hunt.

You mean people can hunt in New York? Don't all the sky-scrapers and taxi-cabs get in the way?

 

[wheelgun28]

I am not a hunter, I've done it its not for me.

I am not anti hunting by any means, its just not my thing

Although I am reconsidering about the deer that eat everything in my yard

Now someone mentioned Brussels Sprouts

Heck you'd be surprised what you can find in the subways...

I thought good revolvers were for hunting. My model 63 kept me in rabbits through college, while students that didn't know what their trigger finger was for, ate top ramen.

lol! actually it's mispelled . macerated is correct, not mascerated. Do forgive me. I would have you believe it is the result of careless typing and fat fingers. The truth is: I'm about 2/3 way through a 12 pack of Miller High Life (heretofore known as tall blondes).

Here in CNY where we live, I think there's a tree or two scattered about that we can hunt near.

I grew up hunting, like my dad and his dad. It's something we did on the farm to supplement our food supply. Grandma and mama never talked much about the vegetables they grew and us boys never talked much about the game we gathered. It was just a way of life. I still hunt, not that I can't afford store bought but because wild game is the best there is to be had.

I don't hunt but have relatives that do. It's been a long time since I had venison but I have always loved it. If I had land I would hunt but only for the meat. The sport of it really doesn't do it for me. I come home often to 6-10 deer in my yard, mostly doe but sometimes you do see the bucks. If I lived in the country I think I would know when and where the deer were and would take a few each season just for the freezer. So I sure wouldn't call that hunting. Seems it would be more akin to slaughtering a cow. But what I really don't understand is the logic that "I don't hunt because it cost less to buy enough steak for the freezer". I mean since when did a cow taste like a deer? What am I missing in this thread?

I loved hunting,did quite a bit of it when I was young.Now Im old and soft

I am an avid Bird Hunter and since I use a Shotgun for that I mostly talk about Bird Hunting on Shotgun Forums. This Forum is primarily Handgun related and so I would think that is the answer to your question.

I love to deer hunt. getting to be time to put out some food plots. got a couple acres worth of frigid forage to put out in a couple weeks. got my eye on a beautiful non-typical 160" 16 point (last year). he was young last year so I passed. I bow hunt only, love the challenge, and shoot guns in the summer time off season between farming and preparation for the following season. here is mine from 2011 season.

Where else can you hunt and buy a $20 Rolex on the way home?
