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

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

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.

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

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

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

Anything that moves. (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 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.

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.

This talk of hunting as a food source reminds me that venison bologna is awesome! 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.

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.

[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.

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.
