No really its not. There's a badzillion debates we could spur off of, but really dont want this to get locked. There's a lot of people that eat meat and never care to think of where it comes from and/or how it gets to the table. I'm ok with that. You can raise it for consumption, or breeding stock, just the same as wild herds are managed. How you look at meat is your choice. Just the same there's a lot that goes on in city life I'm less that educated on... And I'm ok with that.

Hunting can be a sport for some just as others its a way of life and a way to feed your family. I hunt with both types. The first works out well as I get their meat and put it to go use....one way would be tonights chili

I'm thawing venison sausage for tomorrow's breakfast. Bacon, sausage, eggs, biscuits, grits and white gravy. As the soon to be first pick in the NFL draft would say: "we do it big" in the south.

Nice!!!! Now I'm hungry

Vegetarian for about six years here (I'm sure fullmetal is shocked), but I gotta say, there's no room for metsplaya's vibe. If you're going to eat animals, own it from start to finish.

I had some venison breakfast sausage thawing out for in the morning but my dad called and it looks like I am going to head up to his place in the morning for a cookout. I will be taking two sticks of venison summer sausage for an appetizer though. Just slice it, smoke it for a while and eat it right off the grill. I usually don't save room for the main course.

There's no sport in hunting with a gun or weapon. Like grandma always said:

Be a man and use your hand.

Carrots yell when you pull them out of the ground and kill them.

Tacoma please calm the hell down Mary. Getting all crazy because I said something you don't like.

I respect people's opposing perspective on hunting, but yours has been all over the place. You have stated differing opinions and now you are going back to not liking the "bragging about killing". I really hope you are sharing your opinions in the fishing thread because there is a lot of pictures with them "bragging" about there kills. Or are fish not sentient enough for you?

I love to cook and breakfast may be my favorite meal to go 'all out.' I just enjoy cooking a big breakfast, even if it isn't morning time.

Wish we could hunt with rifles or crossbows in Illinois

No fish aren't sentiment enough for me. I don't like seeing pictures bragging about killing something

Obviously hunters will disagree with me. But that doesn't mean I can't disagree

Hey mets, do you eat chicken, beef, or pork? I'm sure you eat one of the three. How do you think they end up on your plate? When you go to Red Lobster on Friday night, how does the lobster end up on that plate? When you order that bacon western double cheeseburger, how does it end up between those buns? If you were stranded on a desert island what would you eat? I understand the anti-hunters point of view, I really do! But you can't tell me that if you were starving to death, you wouldn't hunt for meat to survive? C'mon dude, lets be real now!

[sjorgen5]

A hunting picture isn't bragging in the sense that you're thinking, it's sharing an accomplishment with others who will admire and appreciate the achievement. It may not be the best example, but my grandfather just passed away recently and hit 8 hole-in-one shots, and kept all of the scorecards. I took a picture holding them all...it wasn't to brag about what he did, but it's sharing the accomplishment with those that can appreciate it.

I disagree with Metsplaya123 disagreeance. PETA kills animals and doesn't eat them. I hunt and sometimes harvest animal/s and provide food for my family, contribute funds to the state I live in so the state can maintain the wildlife areas non-hunters and disagreers bring their kids to, volunteer with NWTF, etc.

Posting some duck pics tomorrow...maybe some turkey pics too.

I agree. Jump in the Octagon and knuckle up with BJ Penn or GSP if you want to impress me.

Killing a defenseless animal with a high powered weapon from 200 yards away does not impress me.

Give the animal a gun, intelligence and the ability to shoot back and lets see if you still go hunting

Fight a Tiger with your bare hands and lets see how that works out for you

Killing something that you have such a huge advantage on right from the start is not a sport. Its pretty one sided. You cant lose, only the animal can.

In real sports you can win or lose.

Carry on and god bless

[metsplaya123]

And if you really think hunting is a sport then we have another debate that I will gladly partake in. The above post sums it up

[lindeman79]

And boom goes the dynamite

Give me the deer's sense of smell, hearing and vastly superior illusive skills I will take that bet....oh wait then I am a wolf.

Animals have advantages over hunters that people who do not hunt have a hard time seeing or realizing.

Think of a person hunting as another predator, but instead of his sense of smell, hearing, and athleticism amplified he uses his intelligence to make weapons that give him an advantage. No different than any other predator just different means of advantage.

Ya of course you really can't be killed when hunting PREY animals...... Deer are PREY animals they are not PREDATORS so of course you can't be killed by one.

But yes you can lose, i have went hunting many more times and not killed, harvested, or taken something so then the animal actually has "won" more times than not.

All animals have there own survival mechanisms, humans use their intelligence over other animals and plants, so to say that that is unfair is not really a proper argument.

I for one am a hunter. I hope my children one day become a hunter.. I don't always rely on hormone injected animals from a store that I don't even know if the meat is good to support my family. I would rather go get it myself.

Spot on. Anyone who thinks hunting is just walking around and pulling a trigger should reconsider...at the very least to expand their mindset and consider the alternative mindset.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion but your opinion clearly shows how little you know about hunting.

I have been out smarted by certain deer I have hunted over the years more times than I can count. I have one buck on camera that I have never seen in person but I have game cam pics of him. Two years ago he was a 12 point with split brows. Found his sheds from last year and he was a 19 point. Never even got pics of him that year but I knew he was there.

I also have a 23"-24" wide 8 point that I have had game cam pics of since 2007. Saw him once in bow season in 2007 and never saw him again until this past December when he was 11.5 years old. Had I not already taken the buck I posted the picture of he would be hanging on my wall right now.

Don't tell me that deer don't have an advantage over hunters.
