Next time think before opening your trap to bad mouth and name call anyone who doesn't agree with your poorly conceived notion of what is required to prove your manhood. When you go out hunting without your high powered weapon, actually track down your quarry, sneak up on it and take it down from close range for the need of a meal, then you are a hunter. Any other way or excuses like government surveys show that it helps the herd and they will starve if we don't kill them is just a little child playing at being a man and playing with himself by proxy. So sayeth this tree hugging, gun owning, non vegetarian hippy.

I'm fifteen. I'm not dumb, guys, my backyard is literally a hill... I've seen countless dear, a couple of bears, bobcats, scunks, and I have personally been less than two feet away from a coyote that stole one of my pet ducks. Don't even start to tell me that I don't know anything about wildlife. I live 5 minutes away from the San Gabriel mountains. It's a 10 minute drive to chantry flats, and I could run there if I wanted.

And I also know that hunting is regulated. I'm thankful for that. I also said "in 20 years". Many of the animals that we see everyday will become extinct in less than 30 years due to, yes, urbanization. And Acer, I pity you for not being able to go out for a Disney-ish camping trip and just be happy. I feel sorry that you have to kill something to have fun. I think it's okay if you LIVE in a wilderness, and you hunt to keep your stomach full, and to feed your family. But, not the "Going into a managed camping spot with all your gortex and expensive gear" Kinda hunting. That's what I'm against.

Man, you should have told me your backyard was a hill and I would have never questioned you! And to think, this whole time I was doubting you cause I assumed your back yard was flat...silly me! :ROFL:

dragonfish, I hunt using anything from a crossbow to legal Semi-auto AK-47s, I use cover scent, I use lure, I use feed, I use game cameras, I use blinds, I use scopes...I even use camo!

I guess that means Im a little boy playing with my self hoping to be a man one day.

Luckily since hunting is so easy with my modern Bambi killing gear, I have only pulled the trigger once in the last three seasons... :screwy:
 
JD7.62, sorry for the bad luck you've had over the past three years not getting to feel good about yourself more often. Maybe try a more low-tech approach, possibly on flat terrain. Stalk and pounce. Watching the light of conciousness fade from up close is a much more satisfying feeling than watching from afar with a scope. That will be it for my rant because neither side in this argument is willing to budge from their lofty position of self-righteousness. That means you. And me, sometimes.
 
I feel good just being in the woods.

Sadly I live in the real world and the stalk and pounce technique just doesnt work over here. You should come visit it some time! It will blow your mind!

That is why it's advisable to stay out of the real world as much as possible.

the only hunting i do is in my local supermarket,its easier to sneak up on boxes :)

Nothing better than stalking fresh meat in the frozen food section.

Yeah, since a squealing pig hanging upside down to get its throat slit is so sporting...

What store do you shop in? Never seen that in Publix or even SweetBay. Maybe the super Walmart?

umm,i live in Wales UK,totally different laws to you guys on gun ownership,its also illegal to shoot deer,its classed as poaching,at slaughter houses animals are shot with a bolt gun before getting they're throat slit,as you say....so unless its more humane to shoot animals with a pellet gun or a bb gun,i'll stick to sneaking up on boxes ;)
