Hunting

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Hey,


I'm going to Hunting classes this weekend (two day course).


So, Any one here hunts? If so, What? :yes:

[seireikhaan]

So you're a hunter who's into carebears?:inquisitive:

Who also likes nuts with milk. You learn so much here in the frontroom.

[woad&fangs]

I hunt deer and squirrels. Best of luck with your hunters safety course BHC.

[Ayachuco]

Does shooting at squirrels while going camping count as hunting???
Someone had to keep them away from the Oreos.
If so, then yes I do hunt two days a year.

[Kekvit Irae]

Squirrels and rabbits, using a .22 rifle or a shortbow (compounds are for pussies).

[Gregoshi]

I hunted for a few years as a teenager - small game and deer. I liked walking around the woods but wasn't all that keen on the shooting part. However, some of my strongest memories are of hunting. The best sandwich I ever had was a Lebanon bologna (summer sausage) sandwich I had sat on for about 6 hours whilst deer hunting...heck I'm salivating now with the memory.

Just learn how to be safe Warman and respect the weapon.

[Togakure]

I like to hunt unprotected teppos, cowardly archers, taishos who don't know when to leave the hooka at the castle, and cavalry so foolish as to not hide behind their spearmen. :wink:

It's been a very long time since I've done any hunting. One tends to appreciate Life more, in all of its forms, after becoming well-acquainted with violence. Death ... death is another matter.

Gregoshi offers good advice, Warman. Safe hunting.

[Samurai Waki]

A Two Day Course? A TWO DAY COURSE! Gah! I sat in my hunter's ed class three days a week for nigh on three months! and I never even got to fire a shot until two days before the final exam. I mean we had to go over spotting charts and The Five Steps over and over and over so that we knew exactly what we were shooting at before we ever even decided to lay down a shot. I scored my exam with a 97%. Man, Montanan's do take our guns seriously, I bet back then I could've qualified as an Army Marksman or Marine Sniper. lol.

And even after all of that stuff, I have only went hunting three times. The First Time I killed a couple of Sage Grouse, I think I hiked up a Mountain the Second Time and was too exhausted to explore after that, and the third time I had a perfect shot at a 6 by 7 (or 13 Point Elk to you Easterners). I didn't take it, I enjoyed the majestic beauty of the animal too much to kill it, so I went home and had a Steak.

Now when I go hunt animals, I shoot them with my Camera. Still tough, but I appreciate the Hunt more in the end.

[Husar]

I'm hunting cake, but that's another story...

Well, just make sure you don't hold the rifle the wrong way around, that's about all I know.:laugh4:

Oh and avoid the faces of your hunting friends when aiming and hunt only what you also want to eat I'd say.:2thumbsup:

[woad&fangs]

I'm hunting cake, but that's another story...

:laugh4: Almost forgot, I am also hunting "cake". I agree with Gregoshi about the delicasy that is summersausage. To me it just isn't a hunt without some.

Hey,


I'm going to Hunting classes this weekend (two day course).


So, Any one here hunts? If so, What? :yes:

i spent my summers in south west virginia in the blue ridge mountains. A town called Woolwine population 200. My mother sent me there to get me off the street and my uncle had a working farm.

We hunted regularly, trapped, cleaned the animals and then ate them. Hunting for me was an excersise of obtaining food, it was mainly deer but we were able to trap plenty of beaver and rabbit as well.

Why do you want to hunt? Grocery stores are full of choice cuts these days

Yea, Weapons are not toys :yes:

Rabbits,Deers,Bears, Odin :beam:

Deers I like to get, but yea.

Khan, I hunt carebears.... To Keep them Alive! They talk to me you know :yes:



I think I will take Cashews with me, they got alot of protein and fat to keep me awake

What I never understood was why they never made winter sausage since huntings take place during the latter half of the year.

There is nothing as satisfying (or healthy) as a ripe venison steak the day after the kill.

Anything that moves. :beam: (and is legal :P)

Watch your mouth! I hunt with a compound. ;) (Her name is Grace ;))
I like to hunt with bows I make myself, though I have never really killed much with them. I experimented with several variants of homemade bow, but still prefer Grace. :P

I usually don't have any luck during deer season, but I like to go out anyway, just to enjoy nature.

I agree, as I have aged I have developed a distaste for those who hunt for sport (having done so myself many a time in the past) I understand it, support it for ecological balance but raise a brow for those who do so for ego lifts.

For food sources I would have to agree there is really nothing close to killing an animal and enjoying its bounty in terms of a fresh food source.

[Gregoshi]

This talk of hunting as a food source reminds me that venison bologna is awesome! :2thumbsup: I seem to have bologna on the mind lately.

Well it wouldnt be the 1st time I have heard your name associated with the concept of baloney.

[R'as al Ghul]

Why shoot squirrels? You're not telling us that you eat them, do you?
If you just shoot them for fun I don't have any sympathies for you. :no:

[Mikeus Caesar]

Me and my friends used to go hunting. It wasn't in the conventional way though - we'd find a bush with a largish animal hiding in it (deer, rabbit, fox), and throw a homemade bomb into the bush. If the animal wasn't severely injured it would run for it's life and then freeze itself when it saw us with a crossbow and air-rifle.

Good times.

Maybe one day we should go hunting with our homemade napalm? XD

Meat is meat. Once it's in your stomach, it's simply protein.
That said, I've never had the pleasure of actually eating anything I kill, because I've never actually killed anything yet. I mostly just go hunting to get outside into the woods and relax.

That's alright with me. Enjoy the outdoor life. I do, too.
What I resent is killing for Fun and squirrels didn't seem to fall under the category of creatures that are hunted for their meat.
BTW, did you know that they actually remember all the places where they've buried their fodder? It's also funny to see how Crows observe where squirrels bury their stuff to steal it from them.
There's much to be learned from peaceful observing.
Have Fun but please respect life.

:bow:

I agree with no killing things unless you will eat them...with a few exceptions. I kill things that are harmfull to my pets, my enviornment, etc. Those darn squirrels keep climbing up my birdfeeder and attacking my birds! They also are slaughtering my tulip bed. :P

Hunting isn't murdering...but...I guess that depends on your beliefs. ;)

How is killing something not murder?

[Vuk]

How is killing something not murder?

Don't want a backroom debate or anything, but there is a big difference.
Murder is delibrately killing someone without reason or justification.
The other types of killing are not murder. For instance: accidentally killing someone, killing in self-defence, killing as part of a legal execution on someone deemed worthy of death, etc. As for animals, I would not classify anything as murder, but rather as unethical killing (it is a small difference in words, but very important as you cannot (at least by traditional meaning) murder a non-human). I would consider killing animals for a good reason to be ethical, and killing w/out a reason or with a poor reason unethical.
Good reasons would be things like food, protection (of you, your pets, your family, your crops, etc), furs, etc. I would consider hunting solely for a trophy to be a poor excuse for killing an animal.
I guess that is because I believe that animals were put here for our use, and that we should use them...but not abuse them.

I kill animals all the time for all sorts of reasons. Af ly here, a spider there...
Now what makes killing a deer worse than killing a mosquito, except that the deer is bigger?:inquisitive:

What about Jose?

[Whacker]

Insects are horrible ugly little spawns of satan and have no feelings. Cute fuzzy forest critters all have feelings and killing them is a hateful sin. You murderers.

[Husar]

But deer eat plants and trees and those also have feelings!
Here (http://www.extension.umn.edu/yardandgarden/ygbriefs/h462deer-coping.html) is a list of the plants they use to murder!

[Whacker]

Plants don't have feelings at all, you hippy!

Yea, then there won't be anymore Warman8 :sweatdrop: :laugh4:

Of course they do (http://www.hindu.com/seta/2004/04/22/stories/2004042200331600.htm). :yes:

Hey, they eat my gardens, I put holes in their heads (rabbits and groundhogs, use a .22 with a scope,sometimes without) :yes:

Also, a helpful tip for hunting in case that course doesn't cover it:

(Deleted hotlink pic -Beirut)

[Crazed Rabbit]

I'm not a hunter, but I will shoot at starlings in my yard.

Why, you ask? It's true, I don't use them for starling sandwiches. But starlings are an invasive species to North America, crowding out native species, upsetting the natural balance, and so I consider it my duty to wage ceaseless war against them in the form of shooting at them about a half dozen times a year.

[Tribesman]

I hunt and fish , but some of the creatures I shoot I would not eat .

Yep, I eat 'em and they're pretty tastey in stew. I have issues with people who hunt so they can brag about how big the animals they shot were.

Is it me or is he wearing a ATF hat :laugh4:


Yea, I can't stand people who "hunt" just for the trophy, or just to take a picture of it and leave it there.

LOL!! That really does surprise me! I thought you were anti-gun. Am I wrong or did you just have a change of heart? Don't take it the wrong way, but that really did surprise me. :P

[Csargo]

Me:
Is killing animals wrong?
God:
The Ten Commandments say, "Thou shalt not kill.

:Ds

[Vuk]

Wrong. In Hebrew there were seperate words for "murder" and "kill". To them the distinction was important. The actual translation should be murder, not kill. ;)

[Beirut]

Far as I know, the original language was Aramaic, and it read, "Thou shalt not do murder."

[Vuk]

No, not Aramaic. Not the Ten Commandments. Very few passages of the Bible were written in Aramaic; most were written in Hebrew. You translation is correct, but it was not originally written in Aramaic.

Vuk


EDIT: Did a search on Wiki and came up with this.

Aramaic occurs in four discrete places in the Hebrew Bible:

Ezra 4:8–6:18 and 7:12–26 — quotations of documents from the 5th century BCE concerning the restoration of the temple in Jerusalem.
Daniel 2:4b–7:28 — five tales about Daniel and his colleagues, and an apocalyptic vision.
Jeremiah 10:11 — a single sentence in the middle of a Hebrew text denouncing idolatry.
Genesis 31:47 — translation of a Hebrew place-name.

[edit] Other occurrences, according to some scholars
Genesis 15:1 — the word במחזה (ba-maħaze, "in a vision"). According to the Zohar (I:88b), this word is Aramaic, as the usual Hebrew word would be במראה (ba-mar’e).
Numbers 23:10 — the word רבע (rôḇa‘, usually translated as "stock" or "fourth part"). Rabbi J.H. Hertz, in his commentary on this verse, cites an unnamed scholar's claim that this is an Aramaic word meaning "dust."
Job 36:2a — Rashi, in his commentary on this verse, states that this phrase is in Aramaic.


I believe that is accurate.

I vote this thread gets moved to the backroom and never spoken of again.

That said, I think killing just for fun is despicable.

awwww why?
Because some animals are not for eating . Different people have different views , there is a priest at one club I go to that won't go out on the fox shoots , because he won't hunt any animal that he isn't going to eat.

An easy mistake to make , its more of a backroom subject but the topic is not a "ban all guns" or "let anyone have any gun they want" as some try to make it out to be .

Any Gun Control topics lately Tribes? I'll post one up today or tomarrow if not.


Back on Topic:

of course. I won't eat a groundhog for example, so yea, not all of them are for eating.
