Pretty much this, when I moved from the country to the city I was amazed at how many people openly condemn hunting. Most are completely ignorant of what hunting actually is actually like, and the actual effects to the ecosystem (most are simply environmentalist to the point that it's pretty much their religion).SODAssault said:

I can definately see where you're coming from. I say it's best to hunt for food, but not for any reasons of elitism. I see no point in wasting food, hide, and antlers (using a deer or elk as an example) that can be used really. I went hunting with a friend once, and what he didn't eat, he sold to be eaten.Subzerowings said:
I think if you're going to kill the animal you might as well eat or sell the carcass to fulfill the purpose
There are actually ethics involved with hunting, and if you are really interested in hearing a good argument for hunting you should read Beyond Fair Chase I think it's called.
My husband is from a little ranch in Montana, and they say
hunting deer is a necessity to keep their population down (in their area).
They don't use camouflage, or deer piss, or hanging salt-licks, all the
cheating tools.lol Just a man in the forest, with a gun. They also save the
antlers, keep the skin, and use the meat. Basically they use the whole beast.^_^
Hunting to keep the population down and fun are intertwined, and are
hard to separate in this case. Since you can do both, when hunting seasons comes around.
You can enjoy being in the forest and 'hunting', feel manly, get a trophy, and keep their population down.
Thats a win-win for everyone, but the deer (one day they will rise against us!). lol
But just going out, killing it for a quick giggle when they are already scarce, and
leaving it there to rot, isn't okay.Well, not to me anyway.

hunting is acceptable once you can watch War of the Worlds and say "yeah, what those aliens are doing is fair", because that's what we do to animals, every day, and it makes me sick. i think people who hunt solely for sport are the worst kind of scum, they think an animal should die just for some brief entertainment

Do you have an invisibility cloak and kick ass weapons?.....I think the answer is pretty obvious here
Predator > Humans.... Seriously it took 8 of them to kill just 3 in the new one
That's a serious disadvantage XD
never!!! i feel a need to quote doctor who here "they have guns!" "and i dont! which makes me the better person, dont you agree? the can shoot me dead but the moral highground is mine"PayJ567 said:
well, of course here we must define "better", he could definately kick my ass but i bet "so i was underground skewering these explorers this time and..." isn't a very good opener for picking up girlsMadara XIII said:
im gonna stop you there, as the most populated animal species on the planet, no human has any right to excecute another animal for over population. if we had any sense of justice, we'd all take shotguns into the local town with us and just go trigger crazy for ten minutes before picking up the milkGame4Fun said:
Hmmm a little condemning aren't we? (No I don't support killing animals for fun) No the worst kind of scum is the people who hunt other people for sport or mass murderers.. you get the idea.interspark said:
I suggest reading The Most Dangerous Game if you want a good look at the ferocity of man
Now Gentlemen...It is time for the Hunt!! Release the Hounds!!
Hunting is necessary for animal population control, and reduces the chance that animals will starve. HOWEVER...I believe that if you shoot it, you eat it. Anyone who shoots things and then leaves them in the woods to rot has no respect of mine.
o'contrare, i'd happily die knowing that my life wasn't a burden to anyone else, as opposed to dying knowing that, if there is a hell, i've got some SERIOUS explaining to doPayJ567 said:
