Its like winning a chess game against a blind person with downs syndrome that has his hands to the chair and a dangling a piece of beef jerky near his nose.
'hunting' for sport is, imo, nothing but a made up excuse people come up with to be able to kill things with high powered weapons.
Hunting with a bow and arrow I'd accept as a 'sport' but only if its to keep the population under control.. if they use guns for population control it'd best be done by professionals hired to do so not by a bunch of armed dimwits.
I'm with ya Tac...In fact I think its quite pathetic...I have a good friend that hunts, and he always says his dream hunt would be big cats in Africa...I tell him he is a p8ssy everytime he mentions it.
Ya know what I think is ironic? If the animal a hunter is trying to bag ends up attacking and seriously wounding, or killing the hunter, that animal would immeditely be tracker and killed because it is a "danger", yet the guy running around the woods in a camo suite, a neon hat and a ridiciously high powered rifle isnt.......hmmm....
If you wanna kill for sport, why don't you be a man and level the playing field...Use your hands or a knife.
