You go out with a pack that weighs three times as much as the one you came in with. If that ain't a sport for the stupid, I don't know what is.

Um, climbing?

Spraying maybe?

Dating?

Sport dating, that's my favorite kind. I practice catch and release. It is so much more fun than Trad dating.

Back when I hunted, I didn't view it as a sport, no more so than growing my own vegatables was a sport. I wanted to know where my meat was coming from. It was work, that had some sporting elements (like using a trad bow). But I know a lot of hunters viewed it as a sport, which was part of the culture about the entire experience that I didn't like.

Since there are now more deer in the continental US than at the time of Columbus's landing, the only realistic alternative to culling via hunting is culling via starvation.

 

In Iowa deer are so numerous that they have set up a program that encourages hunters to kill more deer and donate their excess venison to food-banks.

The hunters I know don't view it as a sport. It's a means to get fresh, organic, anti-biotic-free meat.

The hunters in my family enjoy killing lesser animals because it makes them feel superior, but also to sink their teeth into the flesh of the animal and devouring it for nutrients.

 

here they are in their camo:

 

 

So day I will join my brother in the glorious hunt of moose flesh.

my uncle doesn't play "dress up". He walks out his back door in his jeans and a t-shirt, goes into the woods and bags a deer or a couple of rabbits. For the rabbits, he throws the entrails into a tree for the birds, gives the head to his dog to chew on, and cooks up some yummy grub.

I wasn't aware that hunting moose with a steam roller was legal.

[olyclimber]

oh yeah? well my brother on his worst day could EASILY kill more animals than your uncle on his best.

[olyclimber]

Anyway, thats all about learnin the children the way of the hunt. Haven't ever seen Rambo?

I love the camo truck. Is that so the wildlife can't figure out where they parked?

[olyclimber]

Yes, it aids for getting free parking on that particular island, accessible only by boat in a dark corner of Alaska.

aHHH, A Moosealope?

I heard that one day a bunch of rabbits ganged up on KKK's uncle and thumped the shit out of him.

 

My Dad was responsible for the extinction of at least half a dozen large mammal species on this continent alone.

 

The chamo truck will come in handy when they finally take on ZOG.

Did you guys ever see that PBS docu about Dick Proenneke ? Dude lived on his own in the Alaskan backcountry for like 30 years. That guy was my hero.

guineapig meat is delicious and goes down well with coca leaf salad

Oh yeah, ZOG... I almost forgot. I'm getting a camo paint job for my Volvo.

Mmmm, venison. I just sat with my 10 year old through his hunter safety course. He's pretty excited about the upcoming Fall. We don't eat a lot of beef, but we we usually get a deer every year, and my father in law slaughters 1 steer every year from their little farm (grass fed of course) and we get some of that. Actually the last one committed suicide as far as we can tell. Stupid fucking cows. Their water trough is an old bath tub, and the dumb ass swallowed and choked on the stopper. I'm a little worried that eating those steaks will lower the kid's IQ points a bit...

I won't eat a stupid animal. It's dolphin or nothing.

Well put. Although I am not against hunting as a sport, I do not personally hunt for sport. I do not consider my impetus for hunting superior than those who hunt for their own entertainment (I am, of course, against poaching). I started hunting b/c I couldn't afford meat any other way.

On the other hand, I fish and I pretty much only catch and release. In essence, I only fish for my own entertainment. This, on my mind, is ethically equivalent to those who hunt for pleasure. And yes, the animal is not killed--but I think the logic is about the same.
