Recurve bow hunters think compound bow hunters are not sporting.
Compound bow hunters think gun hunting is not sporting.
Long range gun hunters think 100-yard shots are not sporting.
Public land hunters think guys who hunt big ranches inside a fence are not sporting.
Low fence hunters think high fence is not sporting.
Big ranch hunters think suburban hunters are not sporting.
Now it’s not sporting to use a trail cam....
Sometimes hunting is for food. Sometimes for the challenge. Sometimes for the comradery and thrill.
The fact is, human beings need to preserve the skill set of killing their food. It’s not easy to sit still for hours hunting an animal that has a better sense of sight, sound and smell than you do. It’s also not always easy to put an animal in your sights (gun or bow) and make a good kill.
I think most of the hunting snobs I see comment here don’t know crap about hunting.
Thanks for the rant and not reading my post carefully.
Agreed, not sporting.
THAT’S WHY I DON’T DO IT.
I said I could, I didn’t say I do.
Haven’t shot a deer in over 30 years.
Ever since I figured out that they weren’t particularly smart or careful.
I just throw pine cones at them to keep them out of the orchard (doesn’t work).
Only hunt the little gray birds now; the older I get, the smarter and faster they get.
I could do that; but I would still feel guilty about shooting the dumbasses.
Don’t understand BFL, still a bit of a Luddite.
We would love to be happy hour hunters except we are currently in a SD so cannot shoot. When we move up to our mountain place permanently then it will be a different story. LOL!
As it turns out, I didn't get my own message until you queried my reply.
Thanks.
