    OH YES. right, that whole, God made us the be all and end all, the smartest and most evolved creature in the world, the end of the line when it comes to perfection... :roll: :roll: :roll:
    The difference between us and gorillas chimps dolphins house cats or whatever else is that we kill for sport and not for sustenance.

    What makes you think bears are over populated??
    Because we shoot so many that are in "our" area? Because some idiot has been feeding it blueberry muffins and it attacked a neighbour because the neighbour was dumb enough to throw rocks at it while it was minding its own business? (This is a true story btw... and if that is some sort of idea of evolutionary genius, to throw rocks at a bear i don't have much hope for humans)

    Orcas (the biggest dolphins) will actually beat the daylights out of a baby seal...and then let it go. Chimps will hunt down a member of another group from time to time and beat him to death or within an inch of his life, too. Is it for sport, though? Maybe not as the orcas may be teaching others how to hunt and the chimps may be sending a message to other groups, but it is interesting to find such purposeful violence in the "animal" kingdom.

    I admit... I don't know much about that.
    So... where do you shoot them when you're Deer Fishing? Do you shoot them in the knee cap... jump off of the ladder and pummel them with baseball bats? What?

    Most of it is by trophy hunters who only like to hunt for the sport. Seems pretty reasonable to me, it isn't like hunters shoot a bear, skin it, and then leave it in the woods. I don't know what goes on in your neck of the woods, but only asshole poachers do that sort of thing. You certainly made it seem that hate hunting in general, so I apologize, but I am sick of people thinking that the only people hunting are in overalls and are toothless rednecks with a confederate flag on their F-350(the one with duallies of course).
    interesting because others understood my stance on the differences in hunting.
    and we don't call it "foodshelves" here - at least i've never heard of it called htat.

    and its the fact that they get such ENJOYMENT out of killing that is the sad part.
    i dont know of any hunters who do it the old fashioned way with spears and bows and arrows

    I know people who hunt... if it is even called 'hunting' any more. It's more like 'Deer Fishing'. You sit in a tree with a 30.06 and place some deer bait (deer poontang) and wait. When the male deer comes in, thinking he's gonna get laid... BAM!!! You shoot him in the head, at close range, execution style.
    Nothing wrong with that... if you're gonna kill it, you gotta grill it. Deer meat is a bit gamey, but pretty good.
    ...
    But, killing just to kill. Okay... if you are going to track the animal in his woods and try to take him out with one shot. If you wound him... you gotta track him down and kill him, instead of just leaving him to die because of your poor marksmanship.
    As for bear hunting for sport... you want to make a sport out of it? Okay, leave the Remington at home and take him on with a knife. That is a fair fight and can be called a sport.

    Cosmo, I agree. But I think even the knife is cheating a bit. You're only a real hunter if you can sneak up behind the poor bastard and get it in a headlock to take it down.

    shooting a defensless animal with a gun for fun is just cowardly in my opinion.

    Bow Hunting is HUGE!!!! in the states anyway, maybe not where you live, but I would venture to guess. In fact it is the only hunting that most of my friends do. It is really fun, it isn't all just about the killing. But to each their own

    well, i suppose there is that. but i think it's easier to aim for a larger part of the animal. i can't believe i'm in this conversation here...
