Can you believe that there are actually "men" who don't like outdoor activities like hunting and fishing?

Yes, I can believe that.\n\nPersonally, I do not think it is a huge leap of faith to imagine someone wouldn’t enjoy sitting in the freezing cold for a deer, putting the cross hairs behind the deer’s shoulder, pulling the trigger and watching the animal fall, walking over and seeing the deer’s shoulder broke and half of its hearts and lungs laying on the ground, rolling it over and cutting it open, pulling its guts out while smelling the wretched stench of rotting browse and grain, looking in its body cavity and thinking…”hmmm, this will be a good steak”.\n\nFishing isn’t much different.  On the surface, it is about as pointless as playing the ball & cup game.  You toss something and hope to catch it.  Some people don’t want to eat something that eats worms and god only knows what else (you ever catch a halibut and gut it?  You find all kinds of parasites and nasty crap living in its guts)\n\nPersonally, I am a hunter and a fisherman through and through, but I don’t expect everyone to be like me.  To me, a thrill is watching the raw beauty of nature, not killing something.  To others, their thrill might be a 1965 Mustang, cruising the strip.  Others might find it at the craps table in Casers Palace in Vegas.\n\nTo each their own.  I don’t expect my children to follow in my footsteps when it comes to hunting and fishing.  If they want to, great!  If not, that is OK too.

I think this has something to do with being branded gay themselves.It's stigmatic, although very narrow minded, it's still out there all over the world. People are afraid of anything, or one in this case who are different and make quick assumptions.Hey, I had two great big trucky guys living across the road from me, both looked like rough rednecks, but they where very gay.Lovely guys though. Men are very egoccentric when it comes to their own manhood.

My family hunts deer and ducks. I have done both, but haven't been very successful.  Both sides of my family have a long history of hunting.  People think its wierd that I grew up with lots of guns in my house just outside of Chicago, but that's the way my parents grew up!

Some people are just plain sick.  I knew a guy who buried his cat up to it's neck, and ran it over with the lawn mower.  The guy should be locked up!\n\nIn other cases, there are hunters out there who really do rely on their hunt for food for the year.  They aren't all necessarily sick or just taking joy in killing innocent animals.  Some of them are just providing for their families - and quite often, a good feeling of accomplishment comes with doing that, so they come across as people who just enjoy killing, though that's not necessarily the case.\n\nI tried hunting one year.  I sat around eating cold pizza for about half an hour, then saw (and shot) my first deer.  I ran victoriously over to the dead animal, cheering inside over my victory, but then, as soon as I grabbed it by the legs, and started dragging it out of the brush, I became aware of the fact that this had been a living creature.  It was a sobering and emotional experience.  I personally haven't gone hunting again since, but I can't blame those who do.  Everybody has their own reasons.  (Hopefully, most of them aren't crazies! :)

Tree huggers have nothing to do with hunting.  Don't you mean animal rights activists???\n\nNo, sorry, I know some good places in Oregon though.  :-)\n\nP.S.  The person that made the comment above mine should learn grammer before they start judging people for spelling.

It's all about the chase. Cut them down to their basest instincts and years of darwinism, Men are the predators and women are the prey because we have something (I won't get specific, I'll let you draw your own conclusions)that they greatly desire. If they are eluded, it makes the desire to attain the unattainable even greater. To keep a man interested, always keep them guessing and never be too available. When they are convinced that the chase is over, they become disinterested and look for something else to pursue.This is just an explanation of the instinct. Not all guys get bored and move on.

Most hunters have a certain sense of stability, and are goal oriented.  They have planning skills, long range goals, are patient and understanding, and kind.  They practice, study, and pay up for their mistakes.  They really do feel bad when they are not accurate with their shot, and the animal has to suffer.\n\nThey also seem less whimpy than the co-worker that went on disability when the stapler attacked him!\n\nIf you have never gone fishing...go fishing.  It is not about catching the fish.  It is more about enjoying nature and getting out of the city noise.\n\nIf you have never gone hunting...sign up for a 5-day packing trip.  Bring your camera and shoot the wildlife with it.  You will enjoy youself and start planning your next trip when you get back to your desk job.\n\nAnd true hunters do not hang out in town with their camos on...because it would make them smell like people, and bacon, and coffee.  You are not going to catch anything smelling like that!

Not always.  But this was pretty clearly a stupid accident.  Maybe the guy wasn't all there (he is an attorney).  I can just picture these people hunting anyway.  They're lucky to live.

most women do not like to hunt becuase after a deer is killed then they have gto go through the process of cleaning the deer ( de-gutting the thing)  . another threason is because they were never exposed to hunting as little children.  my sister likes to hunt (she got a miracle shot at an 8 point deer and killed it, all on her first shot on a rifle she has never fired in her life, and on her first real hunting trip, im extremely jealous), but she is an exception.
