not good ,\ntimes have changed ,when i was young hunting was a manly thing.\nwhen i was young,i was a trapper for skins my self once for a year on a Rocky mountain ridge,and hunted a lot for food.\n I have also hunted in Africa ,but always because i was hungry\nbut in that time i learned, that animals alive are much more beautifull,and i learned to apreciate nature\nwe should be teaching the youth about conservation nature instead \n\nthey can still go out into the wilds, lots of fresh air ,but they can learn something instead ,about biology .the flora and fauna ,instead of learning how to stalk and kill.\nso a camara is far better to shoot with than a gun,and nobody can get hurt,check how many people get wounded or killed by hunting accidents ,i once saw a guy shoot his own horse tied to a tree ,because he was convinced it was a deer.\n\nthe professional hunters that I have known have all turned to Nature conservation,because  it is disapearing so fast.there just is´nt that much to hunt anymore ,and there are a heck of a lot more people around who would like to shoot something.

It's a sport and it's not evil like some would suggest.\n Deer ,Moose,elk,beaver and many other animals are a good replacement for beef ,chicken and other meats.

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.

I am almost certain the most intelligent answers come from us older, more experienced persons in Yahoo Answers.  I am 44.  Youth has its merits yet I wouldn't go back to some of the dumb things I've done.  I am perfectly happy with my age, gender, body size and all the memories I've had are a testament to my life.  Sharing answers to some of these youths gives me pleasure, whether they take my advice or not.

what does this have to do with hunting?

Wildlife management is dependant on hunting. Not only for the financial resource (Pittman/Roberston Act) but as a contributing factor in maintaining healthy populations for a particular habitat. Take the emotions out of the question and the result is a scientific quota passed on to a growing number of ethical sportsmen who hold respect for the resource, firearm, law, landowners, themselves and the future of hunting.\n\nIt is my hope that anyone reading this will take the time to talk to a biologist and discover for themselves how hunting laws and ethical practices have helped game populations in the last 100 years. The activity may not appeal to you but it is beneficial and deserves to be understood.

Welcome to the tradition of harvesting game. Your questions show a sincere desire to learn. You dont state your age but that doesnt matter, the following suggestions will help you no matter what your age or skill level.\n\nFirst - Enroll in a Hunter Education Course. Many are offered in your area. Quite a few of those are FREE. That class will last a lifetime in your memory and you will probably meet someone there who would be thrilled to help you experience your first hunt.\n\nTwo - Acquaint yourself with the rules and regulations of your state. All the wild animals within your state belong to the people of that state and you have to follow rules for harvesting them.\n\nThree - The questions you are asking can be asnwered by visiting http://homestudy.ihea.com/ This is basically a homestudy class.\n\nCongratulations on taking the first step in doing your share of wildlife management. The animal populations in this country are dependant on hunting to survive. Do you part, share your sport..and take a kid shooting.

I hunt Zombies for there tasty rotting flesh. Its just delicious. If you are hunting a Zombie for food, so you can survive, then it's ok. If you are hunting just for the sport it is wrong. If your gonna kill it, eat it

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

Unless you are starving to death, there is no reason for anybody to hunt, much less teach a child to.\n\nDon't give me that 'thinning the population' story, either.  We've thinned out animal populations to near extinction and beyond.  It's the human population that needs thinning out.

I do agree with you on what you do on your land is your buisness and that you should be able to hunt and fish on it but you should think about the big picture as far as game management the wildlife around your area could depend on what happens on your land if you overfish in a stream or river the spawning could have a impact same with game that buck or doe that you harvest will not have the opportunity to breed.to me if your freezer is getting empty it is time to do what you gotta do to survive just dont over do it and dont advertise what you are doing.

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

it's low hanging fruit...easy to pick up, easy to get rid of.  You get the thrill of "something on the side" without risking any emotional attachment.  The phrase "hit it; quit it; and forget it" applies.  Most men like the thrill of the hunt.

It's a myth that baby seals are still killed. Juvenile seals are still harvested. It's got nothing to do with sport, it's mainly to reduce the seal's predation on fish stocks and the income for sealers is a bonus. It's not as if anyone claims that harp seals are an endagered species. If anything, there are more of them now than ever. If it's morally wrong to kill juvenile animals, then the veal and lamb industry is a lot larger offender than the seasonal sea hunt. If someone went to rural New Zealand and told them to leave those sheep alone, they would be told to go get stuffed. Why are people so suprised that folks in seal-hunting areas feel the same way?

I think it is wrong and inhumane. Killing is not a sport. all living things feel what ever happens to them, and killing them  is just wrong, why cause any thing pain when you dont have too????? killing for sport is stupid. like hunting. stupid stupid stupid.

Yes, and its good to be able to give constructive help to younger people, as we can recall on our past experiences and knowledge.\n This works to our advantage if it assists someone else to tread an easier path in life or helps solve a personal hang up.
