Why is it acceptable for a guy to into the woods with another guy to go "hunting" for a few days but

That's a very easy question to answer. We men make fun of you because you get pissed off, and we think that is really funny.\n\nSo I will tell you a true story.\n\nOne time I made fun of my wife and her girlfriend for going to the washroom together. She just got a little grin on her face and looked at  me and the other guy who had gone hunting in the woods with me. She asked if the woods we hunted in were up on Brokeback Mountain. \n\nI have to tell you, there was a brief silence after she said that. The silence was broken only loud laughter by the entire group of folks (men and women) we were with. \n\n The other folks have reminded me many times about my wife's comment. But you can be very sure that I have never kidded her again about going to the washroom with her girlfriend. I suggest that you try something similar with the men who make fun of you.

Many states have strict laws against hunting with your vehicle.  It gives the hunter an unfair advantage and usually creates more problems.  Most of the time there will be damage to private property (driving through someones fields)  I know in Alaska when someone hits a moose (trust me, NOBODY would do this on purpose!) the state troopers call local churches and charities to see if they want the carcass.  If there is not a non-profit to take the animal, they call private citizens who have placed themselves on a waiting list to get "roadkill".  Many people will not take a road killed animal because of the chance of the stomach and intestines having burst.  If the stomach or intestines(well, almost any internal organ) burst, they spill toxic chemicals like bile and stomach acids into the meat, spoiling it for consumption.  Many people feel real hunters don't need to use something as large as a car or truck.

Well it's different for each state.If your in a hunting area or have a killed game such as a deer. they don't need your consent to search or have hunting style firearms. Such as a rifle. They have more arrest/search powers then a beat cop.

I think he is looking for something on the side , he is putting bait out there to see if he gets a bite and if he does he will reel them in. You need to let him know that you were not born yesterday and that you are not going to be his fool,I would let him know plain and simple that you are not going to put up with it, so he needs to decides what he wants.

A taxidermy of a hunter's head (kidding).. I guess I'm not a hunter but a animal lover. I dont find shooting an innocent deer as fun, its more cruel and inhumane but then again, those hunters would probably end up killing people if they cant kill helpless animals.

Just 4 months?  I feel sorry for the guy.  Around here the hunting season lasts 5 months.  In the other 7 months of the year I'll be doing something hunting related (shooting clays, planting food plots, etc).\n\nHunting isn't a hobby.  It's more like a way of life.  You better get used to it, or move on to someone else.  If you give him the choice of "me" or "hunting", he'll give you your walking papers in a heartbeat.  So get used to it.\n\nWhy don't you go with him?  There's more to it than just pulling the trigger.  Sort of like there is more to seeing a movie than watching the closing credits.  I enjoy working with the tractor in the spring, planting food plots to attract and feed the game.  Hunting them in the fall, and then preparing them for friends whenever we have a cookout.  Heck, over Christmas break I made several lbs of venison jerky and sent it to a buddy in Iraq.  That's part of hunting.

2 men hunting in the woods for a few hours. they get lost, one tells the other to fire 4 shots so someone will hear and come to the rescue. 1 man fires 4 shots. 15 minutes later the other man fires 4 shots. this keeps up for a few hours until 1 man tells the other that someone better come quick because their almost out of arrows.

Of course there is. During the rut the males get stupid and less caring. My brother shot one who was on the trail of a doe. The stupid thing had already been shot twice before but he was still wanting to get it on.

On the contrary, they're not on a mission from god, they are simply acting in accordance with their inherited role as the "gatherer," whereas men continue to act as the "hunter."\n\nThink about it: Gatherers must constantly be on the lookout for locally "grown" items that will contribute to a better lifestyle. The search is time-consuming and continual, but necessary in order to provide the things that hunters can not acquire.\n\nHunters don't do much often. But when they do something, they do it till it's dead, then rest again.\n\nIncidentally, if you've never seen Rob Becker's "Defending the Caveman," you should check it out. I think you'll find his comments on shopping vs. sports watching as vestiges of gathering and hunting quite amusing.

It depends on how many other men are in the woods with him..... Then you will have several wrong answers...lol

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 went on a hunting trip when I was 17. We were stuck for a week in the freezing cold winter with no toilet or electricity. I used them every night when I went to bed in case I had to go in the middle of the night. Not #2, just pee. I didn't want to have to get up in the freezing cold and walk to the dug out hole with the mountain lions. That is the only reason I would ever use them. If I were on a long trip...I would stop at a gas station. It would feel gross to sit in my pee all day. It's different when you are asleep.

I have a question for you to ask yourself. I am very much like him. I like electronics, video games, etc. Heres the thing. I love fishing and hunting. But any girlfriends I ever had a serious lasting relationship with, never would go with me. If he likes fishing or hunting, and even if you dont. Join him. I know I would have loved a day of fishing on my boat, just me and my girl.

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!

Hang out by the road. I got hit by a doe a month ago. I saw her, slowed down and as soon as I got next to her...WHAM! She dented my drivers side door, broke my sideview mirror and dented the left front panel. I'm just glad I didn't hit her head on. I was on a 2 lane road, nowhere to go. No where to stop for another 5 miles. \nGet one for me.\n\nAnd for those who think it is cruel to hunt? The hunters help to control the deer population. I would rather the deer get shot, die quickly than be hit by a car and lay by the side of the road injured and in pain. Or God forbid, someone get killed in an accident after hitting a deer. \nHunters also donate the meat they won't use to homeless shelters.

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

Honey, you nailed it. There is nothing wrong with it.  I personally think hunters have gotton a bad rep because of the booze hound idiots that tie the dead deer to the hood of the car like a buick ornament. Which i believe to be very disrespectful to such a beautiful creature.  My sweetie hunts every weekend, and because of that I havnt bought ground beef in over 3 years.  He doesnt go "killin" for sport.  He does it for the meat. You are right. The population, unchecked would be devastating for the environment.  People that are too damn sensitive, think its "cruel" and "mean".  But these are the same people that enjoy a good veal steak without a second thought as to the misery they put that animal through and the hormones and antibiotics they are consuming. They probably wear fur coats too, and i wont get into how barbaric a practice that is.  Not to mention, hunting is a wonderful recreation. It teaches patience, respect, safety, and a general appreciation for nature to young folks.  SO no, there is nothing wrong with hunting.  And dont let anyone tell you otherwise.
