Never understood the attraction in shooting something defenseless just for fun.

I guess I am of the same mind.  I used to hunt ducks and pheasants, but they were always cleaned and eaten later.  I guess I just don't understand the killing of animals for sport.  I am not some tree hugger or anything, and I understand killing pests and rodents, but that is about as far as it goes with me.

:aok Times that will never be forgotten . Quality time.
Some of my best memories are those of hunting trips with my Dad and Granddad.
I bet the trackers and skinners families enjoyed and appreciated the excess of meat also.
Democracy is two wolves deciding on what to eat. Freedom is a well armed sheep protesting the vote.

                  Then why are you here commenting?

                   You should see the life that chicken you had for dinner last night had. Hypocrite! I could try and explain wildlife management to you but no doubt youv seen one to many Disney movies.

                  I eat everything I shoot, or, like this Blesbuck, its consumed by others. Which BTW is the Law in South Africa. Im glad for you regulator you found a way to eat you ducks and pheasants while maintaining your high morale standards.:lol

                It tastes like Chicken John. Yaknow? The KFC kind that lived its 6 mo life in a shoebox and then got its horrified little head chopped off. Or sometimes it tastes like beef. The kind they raise in the closet and then cut its terrified throat so regulator and Indy can east their cheeseburgers.

              Yes Jackal hunting with my father are times Ill never forget. It was a simpler time in the 60's without all the highly moral anti-hunters. Im glad Im able to pass it on to my son.

              Boy this world has metamorphosed into a real work of art. Human life aint worth a cent but hunting is "wrong". I removed the video. I dont feel like listening to some of you characters.

It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

It looks like Mediafire removed your image as being offensive, as it is now gone.

Some animal lovers here must have complained to them about it.

I guess we must learn how to respect "community standards".

There is nothing more delicious than pheasant.   They are gorgeous birds too.

Look how beautiful these ones I shot are:





It was almost a shame to yank their skin off when I cleaned them for cooking, as they looked so pretty.
