    Deer culling the natural way

    Abhorrent and disgusting. Not getting into you and the Tom discussion. I was relating more to the US situation, seems a lot more fair and managed, and for almost anyone. I’m not sure how the hunters drive out the hikers by you, here we have game wardens and police that will enforce people...

    Deer culling the natural way

    Facts are not below my level. I’ve studied gun crime and have been a proponent of teaching firearm safety for most of my life. I know the stats, I know the laws, and I know the stupidity. I didn’t make one statement about the United States not being at the top of the list, but maybe you read...

    Deer culling the natural way

    Hypocrisy is innate in human beings. Here is the states all from the economically handicapped all the way to very rich from 12 years up can and do hunt, in quite large numbers I might add. Depending on the game , it is relatively inexpensive and there still are a lot of places to hunt. I have...

    Ok, put in the words ‘all trophy hunting, in front of hunting. We gotta narrow it down.

    Deer culling the natural way

    I think we just need to add hunting to the dogma of religion and political topics. I’ve hunted over the decades, i’m not a big hunter and never have been , yet I find certain types of trophy hunting abhorrent. But I also find the people who draw a line in the sand and put everyone into one...

    Deer culling the natural way

    Thank you for the grammar suggestion, you happy now? Your second sentence doesn’t warrant an answer buddy. I’ll spell it out for you and make you happy, (correct my grammar at your leisure) I’ll say that all the trophy hunters in the world are just immature, deplorable and stupid that haven’t...

    Deer culling the natural way

    I’m sure you could , and I’m sure there are dozens if not hundreds of abhorrent , disgusting examples of bad behavior in the hobby. I’m sure you’d agree there is abhorrent behavior in many if not most hobbies, sports etc. etc. (like the fishing analogy I gave ) So you had a change of heart , so...

    He doesn’t get it, it goes in one ear and comes out the other. He doesn’t care or want to hear that most all hunters think this behavior is intolerable and is not acceptable in any manner, to ten of millions of people who participate in the hobby. He’s as rigid and dug in like a tick on a hound...

    Deer culling the natural way

    I think what you describe is what most hunters would call abhorrent behavior and that is the exception. In the United States in 2019 they were 15.2 million hunters licensed , that rose 9.2% just after the pandemic. You can recall 3 incidence in 5 years ,so that would be 5x15 million= 75 million...

    Deer culling the natural way

    This is very well said. Many years ago I wondered why it was called a sport, it only started to be called sport hunting in the late 1800’s when rules and regulations were established for multiple reasons, at least in the US). I’d say viewpoints on hunting are very varied and not are not one size...

    Here in New York on our barrier island knownas Fire Island there are no predators , there is no gun season only a very short bow season by a lottery system. The whole island is the Atlantic ocean on one side and the great South Bay on the other. This is a huge ocean beach spot for long islanders...

    It was called the five stages of a hunter, which one are you. Written by Dr. Robert Jackson and Dr. Robert Norton of the University of Wisconsin. They conducted a study of over 1000 hunters. Among other things the study found that hunters pass through five distinct stages over their lives in...

    Deer culling the natural way

    Why, am I not allowed to be foolish, are you not being foolish with your opinion, you know what body part opinions are like, right? I myself am not one for trophy hunting or hunters , but I sure as heck aren’t going to believe that my opinion holds some higher moral ground. I never had the red...

    Deer culling the natural way

    I had a similar conversation ,but on a different topic with a fellow I know. He’s a gun control hypocrite. I told him that I would give up my guns when the criminals and the government gives up theirs. I also asked him if he would be OK going to his job, in a certain media company in New York if...

    I agree they’re not all lunes. The ones that fit the stereotype , I have no problem with them either, usually if we’re walking together I just pick up the pace and they can’t keep up. 🤣

    Stupid trophy hunters, did you really say that? So your reason for an animal to be killed is on a higher moral standard , and since you’ve lowered your red meat intake, one less killed animal, I get it.
