I find it pretty funny that people here who think nothing of buying a steak at safeway act like killing to survive is "playing god".

vegetarians who eat crops are also hypocrites on the gopher thing since the gophers have to be destroyed.

most don't care how they get their food so long as no one tells em how it got on the shelf.

The whole primus of this statement is BS lazs..  The idea of 'killing to survive' was introduced by you.. No one else.. Nash is not contemplating 'killing to survive' and neither was I..  This is killing for fun.. Much different. And if the day comes that you yourself can't simply walk/drive to safeway for your t-bone, what will you do?? Roast varmit?  pfft

I understand though.. If left unchecked these roving packs of prairy dogs could endanger our entire stock of beef here in the US...  I mean look at what those evil dog bastards did to the buffalo!!  All the damn holes they dug almost broke enough legs to cause the buffalo extinction..

Every time you put an eye to the scope say "I'll let you live today." Move the riffle a bit and say, "I'll let you live today." Move the riffle again and say "I must kill you."

Later, when your co-worker asks how you enjoyed the trip say, "It was enlightening.  I'll let you live today."

When I was a junior in High School, I was outside the gym during a dance night hangin with a few guys watching a huge bullfrog hope down the sidewalk.  Sucker was huge.

Well.... coming the other way were 2 kids that unfortunately spotted the frog and one said to the other "Hey watch this!"  and then stomped on it, crushing it flat.  It splattered in all directions.

Him doing that had no purpose what so ever.  He didnt plan on eating it or skinning it...nothing.  Just plan old sadistic action.  It was a senseless act of distruction.

I didn't mind one bit breaking a finger by beating the back of his head into the pavement.

Do it, or don't do it, who gives a crap.  It's a gopher.  It's not like you're changing the meaning of life by going or not.

But stop with all the heartfelt soul-searching crap.  It's a gopher.  Personally I don't shoot it unless I intend to eat it, with exception made for coyotes, rats, and other vermin.

And beating on some guy because he squished a frog.....wtfg Dr. Freaking Dolittle.

Flippin' Nancy boys.  I swear some of you guys should just join a old woman's quilting club, there would certainly be less angst displayed by them, that's for sure.

Gophers are a pest and farmers are happy to have their numbers reduced by hunters.  Also, the extermination would be relatively painless to the gophers based on the elaboration about ammunition used.  Unfortnately, I don't think gophers are very good to eat.  

Personally, I enjoy killing defenseless woodland creatures and think you are lucky to be invited.  However, I would not be one to drink beer while doing so. Afterwords, yes.  Just not while holding a loaded firearm.

So people are nancy boys because they have issues snuffing out the life of something that doesn't pose any type of threat to them? Or could it be that macho sociopaths need to erradicate those dangerous, furry little animals to feel better about themselves? If a hunter wants to impress somebody, stop counting the points on a buck. Skillfull shot? Can be. Particularly manly? Not really. You wanna be macho? Then fight it on even terms and truly prove the supremecy of man. Go after it with a knife or something. :aok  Hell, hunters are more dangerous to each other than the prey animals are to the hunters (except boars.. in which case, run). :rofl

Really, I have no problems with hunting. It's just not for me. I think it's pointless shooting at anything that's not gonna shoot back, and for that, I have paintball & airsoft. Humans are on top of the food chain, arguably the ultimate predator on this planet, why screw around with anything less? (let alone herbivores)



edit:
funny how images pop up at just the right times...

if you're ever hunting this guy... shoot first.

Shoot first, and shoot quickly before he tears your genitals off and bites your foot in half.

I just nodded and then went inside to the bathroom and cried for about 15 minutes.

Nash,

The idea obviously intrigues you and you won't know if you'll like it until you try it. Go for it and then make up your mind.
