I was reading an article on a UK news site about a guy who got his hand shot off while hunting. I was astonished that it seems socially acceptable there to call for hunters to be murdered / terrorized. Is it really like that or was I just seeing something out of the ordinary? I commented about the lack of sympathy for the guy and a day later it has the most negative feedback of any comment on the article.
It all looked like hate speech to me.
-
It's only hate speech when it does not agree with the usual liberal slant.......... :bolt: :neener:
-
Like anywhere it depends on the type of site you go to, try going to a PETA site and
looking for hunter sympathy. You say a news site but which one?
-
Daily mail, I think I'll be sticking to BBC for now on.
-
that reminds me of back in 92 when I had just moved to north carolina, a woman got shot in her backyard during the fall or winter by a hunter. the explanation for her being shot was that she was wearing white gloves and she should have known better since it could be confused with a white tailed deer, that's what the hunter thought anyway.

Actually it is the hunter's duty to identify the target. Now anyone out can assist by wearing orange..... it is still up to the hunter.

This is probably due to the fact that hunting was always the preserve of landed gentry, and to a great degree it still is. Also there is a distinct air of abhorrence about hunting for the sake of killing. We are supposedly a nation of 'animal lovers' (although my best mate is an RSPCA Inspector and may disagree)
I have no issue with hunting for food, fishing for food, etc, Its doing it for fun that I, and many otthers dont understand. I have 'hunted' for food: rabbits, pheasant. I have to kill baby Jackdaws and injured pigeons on a daily basis. I have shot a deer that was injured by a car and a dog that was terminally ill. I hated and detested every single one. The deer was eaten, although I didn't scoff the dog or the Jackdaws

I knew a farmer who was a miserable old sod, he shot some birds and decided to finish one off by hitting it over the neck with his gun, the gun went off and cut him in two. :old:
Hi Coombzy you calmed down yet? :)

Thing is you knwo when your in someones backyard and most hunters know not to shoot unless they see what they are shooting at.

The guy in Maine was a very poor hunter. So bad that he should not have a hunting license.
Judging by the hunting population's response poor hunting is standard practice there.

You tell us 'what about them being pests'?
Pests need controlling. Sometimes by culling, sometimes through chemically castrating. Occasionally by disease introduction such as the disgrace that is mixamatosis.
The issue is whether it should be a fun pastime to kill them, or just a necessary evil?

Yup Maine is a tiny place. Problem is the hunters seem to be poor at their chosen task. My opinion after reading the above story.

Not as much as they hate the dentist :D

I shoot prairie dogs and let them lay. They are varmints and when they are not controlled they will die of the plague, so at least I give the coyotes and other predators a free meal.
I also shoot coyotes, they are very detrimental to the local (and native to the area) gray and red foxes. I sell the pelts for $18 to $25 a piece depending on the quality of the pelt, the money is usually donated to the local bar or beer garden.
I shoot pigeons and let the farm cats have a warm meal (too many pigeons = mites and lice and disease), keep them thinned out! Same goes for wabbits too!
I think there is validity in shooting animals and not eating their meat. There is a reason we as mankind are on top of the food chain. :aok

:bhead :bhead :bhead All valid points, however, referring you to the earlier crap I posted, it's all well and good to kill animals for various legitimate reasons (people too) however it's the concept of deriving pleasure from the activity that causes an issue for me.

We don't like anyone who are loud and looks around to make sure everyone is listening, so that includes Southern England :old:
We should hunt criminals as well as foxes :old:
Obviously you would have to pay for it, the revenue could be used to fund good courses such as libraries and local amenities :old:

Most do, as I mentioned earlier. There is a fox hunting ban in this country, but as with most things, becUse it aas applied to a pastime (loathed to call it a sport) which is the choice of the rich and wealthy, kncluding Judges, senior rozzers, QC's etc, it is completely ignored :old:

I forgot about the fox hunting stuff in England. Here some of the cause-heads are protesting our hunting of coyotes, but the only reason they are allowed to be hunted is because they take away habitat needed for our foxes.
It makes more sense now that I see this interview of hunting protestors in England.

I am a hunt.
I enjoy hunting for getting outdoors and getting meat on the table for the family. Not only is it cheap meat it's also extremely healthy and tasty. I hunt deer, goats, hare (aka jack rabbits in the US), and rabbits. I will kill possums outright not for meat but because they are a major pest here.
I do not take trophies.
I do not take pleasure in killing animals. In killing them I aim for a quick clean death, preferably a head/neck/or HILAR shot all of which provide the best meat recovery.
If I do not hunt, then the above animals will most likely be subject to control via a number of poisons. The most common of which is 1080. For some game 1080 poisoning is drawn out and extremely painful death. Deer carcasses will often show signs of severe thrashing and animals trying to disembowel themselves. And of course the meat is unrecoverable.
I gut, and dress my own meat. Which is far more than you probably do hunting the supermarket isles ;)

Did you not read my post that said I have hunted for food, that I have no problem with hunting for food, that I have to dispatch animals regularly as part of my job. Did you not see me write that I understand the need for control of vermin.I'm sure I wrote all that, and I am also sure I mentioned the fact that I have no issue with any of them things, merely with the concept of pleasure from killing.
So we are on the same page, yes I shop at supermarkets and butchers, but I also get meat from a friend in form of rabbits and fish and so.etimes venison. I prepare both for the pot. You seem to have missed that part of my posts and my point :salute

Since when is hunting cheap anymore. Goes for fishing too.
Cheaper at the store lol

Why? Killing for necessity is fine but the fact that guys think there is some 'challenge' in outwitting a fish with a brain the size of a lentil escapes me.
-
Actually, I think it feels good to kill pests. Like prarie dogs and for some people where I live coyotes as well. ALthough I couldn't bring myself to shoot a coyote, I don't mind that we have people who do. Otherwise the foxes here would be pushed out of their habitat.
We also have a nice side bonus associated with most people's aversion to shooting anything that looks like fido and that is exceptions to nearly every hunting regulation when it comes to hunting coyotes, their season is 24/7/365 and it's the only animal you can legally hunt in Iowa with a rifle. I'm pretty sure it's also the only animal you can legally hunt with a crossbow as well excluding someone missing some of their fingers.

There is a difference in Fishing and catching you know, part of the enjoyable aspect of fishing is figuring out what they are willing to bite on, not "outwitting" so much. Plus nobody kills a fish for dffun you eirther eat them or release them unless its an invasive species. Lost time I killed a a fish I didnt eat I was 8 and had a bunch of m-80s...

Thats the thing I don't fathom. Why go specifically to catch fish, just to weigh them and let them go?. Kill it and scoff it is fine by me. But why torture it and then put it back?

I don't know.........
I don't find any sort of pleasure in killing.....even pests....I do understand that sometimes killing is necessary, like an invasive species.
I don't understand the desire to kill that people have...hell man I should be one that enjoys it very much....yet I find it extremely.....not sure how to describe it....I guess the only way to say it...is it goes against everything I believe.... or more appropriately......everything I feel.

Because its an escape form the ole battle axe? Why be so arrogant and slam someone's culture? So you want people to keep every fish they catch? That would be beyond cruel as that would lead to extinction, or at best serious depletion of the fisheries.

You shouldn't need to ask such an obvious question.
Releasing a fish after catching it allows others to catch the same fish. It also allows a lot of trophy sized fish to reproduce.

bs best thing about fishing is being there all alone with nobody bugging you and drinking lots of beer. that is very relaxing :cheers:. oh and I eat every single fish that I catch and is edible.

I am.not being arrogant, nor am I disparaging anyones culture. Simple answer is fish for what you need to feed yourself and family and then stop. I dont get why this is a strange notion

I dont see how its a strange notion for you to not worry about what others are doing, especially when nobody/thing is harmed you are basically telling people to not enjoy a freedom that is guaranteed, just because ewe sheeple on that side of the pond were lead around by aristocrats that told you you couldn't fish to feed your family because that's THIER fish doesn't mean you should constantly spew your sheeple mentality allover these boards, also shouldn't you be trolling the fishing thread instead of the hunting thread?

I was waiting for that old lump of crap. This is the nerveless lip that detects the difference between a scrap of food and a scrap of excrement at the bottom of a pond. Same old fishermans gem. I have also heard people say fish mouths are 'designed' to be hooked.
This is tedious now

I see your point and infact agree to a point,but what if the regs state catch and release only!
One of the rivers I fish often has only a small section that you can catch and keep the fish. Most of the river has regulations for catch and release,not live bait and a single hook with no lead allowed.
This past summer was so warm and the water levels were so low that I refused to fish the river as the likelyhood of the released fish to survive was just too low for my liking. Since I cant keep any of the fish I wouldnt risk killing them just for fun!
Oh and if you think it's easy to fool a fish with a brain the size of a lentil,well come try this river and see how well you do! If you dont have the exact copy of the hatch you can watch the fish swirl around you and laugh as you try to fool them!
