I'd like to try hunting some time. Never have. I have no qualms against shooting animals. I'll eat what I shoot.

Putin khuliyo
Most stupid poll Ive ever seen on MMO. There is no other option but to vote that you actually like hunting for sport, with another random option to vote for PETA.
No, never tried it and I also do not like it. I see no joy in killing other animals for fun. When I go fishing I release all fish that are too small to be eaten, and the others are... well.. eaten.
But that's far away from big game hunting.
So lets see... hoofing it up and down mountain sides for several days, stalking your prey for hours on end, then carrying your kill out several miles... yeah, ill say thats athletic and sporting... you call football a sport, why not hunting??? It takes more to stalk and take down an animal than it does to catch a ball and run a couple of yards.
So its okay to kill some animals, but not others... save the cute little otter, kill the ugly cow mentality.
No man really becomes a fool until he stops asking questions.
I would love to try it, but "The Most Dangerous Game" style...I won't eat the meat.
In all honesty hunting has never interested me, I like fishing though.

Does fishing counts?
Just kidding, i don't really care so where's my button in this poll?
I also noticed there's no option for hunting humans in the poll.
Or is it because the OP is a sissy and only hunts animals?
Fish =! big game animals. Why else are there so many "vegetarians" that only refuse to eat red meat, but like eating fish?
Also, you didnt just compare fish to, lets say, deer.. did you??
Might just as well say killing animals is inhumane because we do not kill other human beings. We are just animals after all.
So what do you call the people that sit around have a couple of beers, wait for that deer to come around then "bam". Load the deer into the back of the truck and take it to the taxidermists, 'cos everyone needs to see how good a hunter you are!
Way to make a strawman there.
Try and read what you're quoting.I see no joy in killing other animals for fun

Yeah, totally. Which is why I made the distinction between the people that actually hunt their prey and the majority of "hunters" we see (the ones I described).
Note:
I have no problem with hunting for food, however you do it as long as you don't torture the prey. I have a problem with people killing purely for fun.

Why is there no option for "No, I find it abhorrent"
Biased poll, I'm not voting. I have little to no respect for people who kill for fun.
So every hunter hikes up and down a mountain to hunt? Way to bullshit the truth to support your bullshit facts. When a 60 year old fat redneck can sit in a blind with a high powered rifle at known animal crossings, bait stations etc and kill an animal I don't consider that as "taking more" than a trained, in shape athlete taking a beating on a field.
Lets see you do it without all the fancy gear, camo and weapons. 99% of the so called hunters wouldn't last five minutes without their scoped rifle and bottle of deer piss.
Fact: Prehistoric man ate far less meat than we do today. Want meat? Go to a supermarket and buy some that's already been slaughtered. Hunting for food is obsolete in this society. Enough animals suffer in some pretty poor conditions so you can have access to fresh meat.
And no - I'm not a veg head.
just look at the number of responses in the thread, not even the views. then look at the low number of votes (13 at this posting: #33)
i'm not saying your poll is slanted, just that there arent very clear choices one way or the other.
that being said, this year i did a little hunting for the first time in decades. i had a problem with squirrels getting into my attic.
i cant tell you how happy i am to be able to wake up on a cold morning to the sound of my alarm clock, instead of sitting up all night with a squirrel scratching around INSIDE the walls...
and no, i did not eat what i killed. but my cats did

Where's the "Yes, and I really didn't care for it" or something like that? I'm from Michigan, hunting is HUUUUGE out here. I have been, I like venison, I don't really care for hunting or fishing. I don't detest it, I just can think of things I would rather be doing during hunting season.
Ive been hunting for almost 25 years. . . Dove, Duck, Goose, Boar, and Deer.
There is nothing wrong with hunting. There is nothing better tasting than Dove that feed on Maize. OR Ever tried fresh mallard, wrapped in maple bacon, stuffed with veggies?
No, murdering animals isn't something I would enjoy.
Definitely not.
I don't personally hunt, nor do I wish to. I do eat animals, however. I admire those who have adopted vegan diets and such, and those who defend animal rights, but there is a concept called overpopulation. Living in a somewhat rural area, deer overpopulation is a major issue. In fact, if we didn't have avid hunters and the like living among us, driving down back roads and such would prove immensely hazardous to both ourselves and the deer. I want the animals to live a good life, but I also have to worry about the safety of myself and my family.
