Are you okay with hunting?

yes it's ok.. I mean we eat meat... the animal is killed anyway so why not by the hand of the individual rather the company\n\nbesides.. you get a deer and you'll have free meat all winter. \n\nit saves a lot of money and feeds you and family\n\nBesides.. hunting is actually a form of conservation.\n\nanimal populations have increased sense organized hunting has been inacted.\n\nit controls populations and kills off the weak and provides a more stable biodiversity\n\nI always use to feel bad about it but then I came to this realization...... a lot of animals are killed by cars or other accidents or even other predators.. so why not us and we are able to feed are families\n\n\nare we so far distant from the days when hunting was a necessity for providing food for family that today we cannot do it and be fair .. no\n\nhunting is not wrong when acted upon appropriatly and with a mature respect to nature and the causality of what ones effect/impact may have on wildlife..\n\nwith a mature mind... hunting is a good thing.. it is a course of nature\n\n\n\n\nps... I'm drunk.. and dammit. .I'm not going to read this over or spell check it.. but I hope I got a point across

Love it!!  Just finished hunter ed class and plan on hunting this fall.  I love to go out target practicing.  It is very important to learn about gun safety also.

Depends on the situation. I do have a carry permit. I have carried in the past. I also actively hunt. For "everyday" no, I see no reason to at all.

Elk. hunting them when they are in the rut is an unreal experience. Bugling and having them answer back angry is one of the most eerie sounds ever. It makes the hair on your neck stand up and your heart race. I have shot 2 at under 20 feet charging me. \nAnother i like to hunt are mountain goats. They have amazing eye sight and are a tough challenge to get close enough for a good shot.  You have to have excellent fitness as they tend to hang out above the tree line and it's usually a tough climb to get to them.

No.  Most hunters I know hunt for the food and those who don't donate the meat.  Deer do tons of damage to hay bails, cars, and it is the only way to control an already out of control deer population, without allowing the deer to starve to death

Forget about the whole "we're so much better than animals" thing. Our animal instincts still affect us, even though it's not apparent. The "fight and flight" instinct is still prominent in our systems.\n\nSo when man murders outside of "he'll kill me first" then it's a mental thing that they are willing to do. Does that mean that we're all capable outside of that, sure. We just decide that a person's life isn't as important as ours (which is what hunters have when they hunt, no hunter things of the animal as an equal). So if you can value a life over your own, then it's possible.

i don't think there is anything wrong with wearing fur, but i would like people to hunt the animals them self's and use the entire thing.  Or at least do the research and find out if the place the fur came raised the animals humanely and they did something with the rest like made it into dog or cat food or something like that

Heck no.  You could go shooting/hunting with me anyday.  Kansas.  Although I know a few guys that would put their guns back in their cases and go home if you outshot them.  One guy I know missed 2 targets on the skeet range by station 7, and then packed his stuff up and drove home.  His license plate said 100 str8.

I am afraid that is just normal in hunting. I also have hunted in Klickitat!! I was lucking enough to kill a turkey this year and now all I do is think about hunting turkeys and shooting another one but that is one thing that makes hunting fun. Thinking there is always next year, waiting to get outside and hunt turkeys again so that when you finally get outside and hunt turkeys it is very enjoyable and when you do harvest a turkey you with savor the moment allot more

Different people hunt for different resons. Here is mine. I eat meat. Meat comes from two sources. Farms where they are fenced in or penned up and then hauled off to be killed and cut up for sell in the store. Meat from this source is ok, but there is the issue of growth hormones in the feed and so on and fat content. The other way to get meat for eatin is by hunting. The meat from here is running wild and free and often times goes without gettin taken by the hunter. The meat is leaner and taste better to me and i know how it was handled afterwards. I know it was kept clean and processed right. I cant know how store bought meat was handled before i buy it. \n     Some people hunt with their minds toward trohpies or in the case of varmit hunting it is target shooting and maybe population control of a animal that is sometimes desctructive to property and maybe other wild animals. I dont hunt for trophies and i dont use animals for displays of my shootin abilities. I hunt for meat/food. And i will also shoot a coyote from time to time as they play hell with the baby deer in the spring and have really run down the groundhog population here. In some ways coyotes are a non native animal to indiana.\n     If people didnt hunt deer there would many more deer/car wrecks which might be you or someone you care about being hurt or killed. Ive seen cases where deer have overpopulated and starved themselves in a location. I dont like the hunting shows on TV. They give a bad impression of whats really going on. There are people who hunt who i dont like, and i dont like their wreckless attitude, but hunting in the right way and for the right reasons is not a bad thing. It is just not for everyone i guess.\n        shane

This is a very tricky question.  See i am a woman, I grew up on a farm.  Im 36 and a single mother of two.  To me, if you are hunting animals, then it had better be for food.  Not for decorations, fur, or for something to do.  I dont believe that it should be just a sport.  There are times, when I didnt have any meat to put on the table, and no money to buy meat.  I sure wish at those times, I knew how to hunt.  It is hard to buy meat, i think, it is extrememly expensive, I get tired of bologna and hamburger.  But this is just one persons' opinion.  I hope I helped.  Barb(indiana)

not at all. i dont believe in killing just for the sake of having a big trophy to brag about. but for having food it is totally acceptable. and in certain parts of the country the animal population has to be thinned out. i live in the ozarks and the population of deer get so thick it is common to cause crashes in town. as long as the animal is being used to feed people it is acceptable to slaughter it. but only in a humane way.

I think i would need a Bow, knowledge of survival, and a companion. A bow to hunt with..Arrows can be made rather easily, Knowledge of survival to guide me, and a companion so I dont start talking to myself and die of lonliness
