    Fel, you eat spiders? :aaa: :shake:

    My mother's family hunted for food in the 30s and 40s, though usually 'varmits' like squirrels and opposums. Those are the only people I know who hunted for a critter to put in the pot and eat.

    Hubby has an uncle who 'catches his moose' once a year, but it's not like anybody needs the meat, bones, skin, etc. It sits in the deep freeze along with the 6 shrimp rings and dried out dinner rolls. :lol:

    But I would die with honour like a true warrior :D
    Or maybe I could backstab the boar :p

    Hunting for sport is cruel. And the most cruel thing is hunting via Internet. Just use your mouse and even physicaly disabled person can kill a harmless animal. The animal has no chance. And some of us who think that way could be vegetarians. What about that? You would call such people hypocrits?

    I hear a Red Dragon approaching. We tread on dangerous ground. We the hunters are about to become the hunted. Non-hunters are included in the Dragon's diet. :eek:

    Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, I have found the average hunter to be as eager to stoop your wife and kids as bag a deer.

    Elboy deep in intestines? :thumb:

    Sounds like a great Saturday afternoon!

    [​IMG] Let's try this again. Since some people here would rather behave like sheep, it's obviously up to me play the shepherd.

    I've created a new AoDA thread on hunting.

    Anything that still gets posted in this thread that is off-topic (like any kind of posts containing ethical/moral/fairness/etc. judgements on hunting) will be deleted from this point on. And the person who's managed to sit on their ears through two of my warnings will get 50 posts taken off their post count for not paying attention.

    If you scroll up to the first post in this thread, you will see that the purpose of it is very simple. DO YOU HUNT? YES/NO

    Anything going beyond that is most likely up for discussion in the new thread that I've made.

    When we opened the new sports forum it was decided right in the beginning that the more serious matters that would have been discussed in AoDA previously (doping in sports, hunting, etc.), will continue being discussed there. This just makes it easier for everyone.

    And for pete's sake, if a mod suggests to open a new thread instead of keeping up at it in the original one - DO IT! Don't wait for divine intervention, because it usually comes late. If you're the first person who sees the notice and is interested in the subject, open a new thread about it as suggested. It's as easy as clicking a button.

    I've never hunted and I doubt I ever would - I like just walking in the woods and looking at stuff, I don't need the thrill of the hunt. It's the same as golf - a good walk spoiled.

    However, if a friend who hunts has some excess venison, pheasant, or goose, I'm first in line! :thumb: I'll even have the hunter over for dinner.

    I've never hunted... I'd like to try it some time, but if I'd wanted it to be what I'd consider 'good sport', I'd probably either come home empty-handed or eaten :p . If I did make a kill, I'd want to eat it too though. Maybe I'll go hunt a sibling ^^

    Hmmm...is it just me, or do the poll results look like a hand flipping you off? :eek:

    Anyway, I just got word that my old boss went bow hunting and baged himself a nice 5-point buck. Being true to his style; he, his funny old fart of a father, and two sons skinned it, gutted it, and did all the other meat preperation by themselves once they got it home.
    The best part is, since I was one of his "good" employees, I get some of the meat! :banana: I'd like to learn to bow hunt, but I suck at archery. :( :rolling:

    It *does* look a bit like a hand flipping you off.

    I don't hunt, but the ol' Momma's hubby does, so I get to eat.
