For a second I thought it was that drone or whatever that uncovered the blood pollution behind a slaughterhouse somewhere.
[QUOTE=imptastick;34766023]The pigeon stands almost no chance of survival, a disoriented bird being shot at with a shot gun low to the ground has little hope of the shot missing. Even if the shot misses other hunters would kill it. I have no problem with traditional hunting, I have hunted myself. But raising an animal to be shot for no other reason in my opinion is wrong. If they were using the pigeons for another reason as well it would not be so bad; but they just kill them and leave them. It just seems like a waste.[/QUOTE] This isn't likely to "kill them and leave them," this is likely to kill them for them eat, but have a bit of sport about it. They're not likely to let the pigeon go to waste, if they're doing this shoot, it's because they want to kill and cook the pigeon, they're not doing this for the sake of killing a pigeon, they're doing it to have some sport about getting their dinner.
I'd seriously love to troll these idiots by shooting some pigeons and having them rage at me
[QUOTE=DaCommie1;34765923]Clay pigeon shooting is a sport as well, this is basically replacing the clay with a pigeon raised to be killed, this is no worse than animal farming, they just wanted to have a controlled hunt with the pigeons they've raised. The sport in this arises from the fleeing pigeon, aiming to hit it, it's like hitting the clay on a trap range, as a matter of fact, those clays are to train to shoot pigeons. If the pigeons were raised to be killed for food, if not for hunting them, they would have been killed in a more "traditional" farming style, the hunters wanted to have some fun practising their sport, and this gives the pigeons a chance to be free, as depending on the aim and volume of both the hunters and pigeons, some could make it out. Controlled hunts like this aren't uncommon, as far as I know, and are usually for practise, giving people a controlled environment to hunt in with livestock raised for this purpose to give people training at tracking and aiming at moving animals. Usually farms like this will charge the hunters for the use of their land and for the animal, or animals, they bring out.[/QUOTE] stuffing domesticated birds into a box and then launching them out only to be shot at is ridiculous. Why not just use clay targets, they have better trajectory than most likely starved and injured birds launched out of a box.

It's just pigeons man. They go in a big cage, and you throw bird seed at them. And have a bowl of water. there the pigeon is now set for life. They aren't hard to feed and breed.

From what I have seen at duck shoots (same as this, domesticated animals being released from cages), the animals are well fed and more than willing to get away like a bat out of hell.

These people are full of pigeon-shit.

[QUOTE=shian;34766703]THEY HARM OUR FARMERS YOU TWATS [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-6YVuw-PcA[/media][/QUOTE] Then shoot wild ones, not captive breed birds.
I love Pigeon/Dove hunting, such an entertaining and challenging sport when they fly high/dive/swoop. Not sure how I feel about controlled hunts, but whatever raises your skill is nice as long as you give the animal time to gain distance. Though it always sucks when you're shooting and you clip the bird and the damn things wing blows up causing it to spiral to the ground like a downed fighter plane.
Perhaps if they let off enough drones they wouldn't need to shoot pigeons, Also fuck SHARK, PETA and all their twitchy kneejerk hippie bullshit.
[QUOTE=Dysgalt;34768065]Though it always sucks when you're shooting and you clip the bird and the damn things wing blows up causing it to spiral to the ground like a downed fighter plane.[/QUOTE] I know that most of the time people are killing the animals to control the population/preserve crops etc., i could never do it. HOWEVER. i would have thought it would be hilarious to see the pigeon just, as you put it, 'spiral down to the ground'
[QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;34765303]Also. Isn't it illegal to film people on private property?[/QUOTE] They're not on private property from what I can tell. They're on a public road.
I'm surprised so many people are siding with the hunters. Sure animal rights activists can be annoying bitches, but if they weren't on private property, they weren't doing anything wrong with the drone. Instead the guys who are hunting (in a rather inhumane way) decide to go double or nothing and also cause a few hundred dollars worth of malicious property damage, aimed toward a highway (and just because they're using shotguns doesn't mean the bullets suddenly disappear after a hundred feet, they keep on going, potentially hitting cars) The hunters sound like a bunch of crazy fucks if they start shooting at people's shit.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I'm kind of unsettled by how people tend to culturalize the act of killing animals. I mean, I understand that people hunt in order to curtail overpopulation, but when they try to make it out as anything more than a necessary evil by also turning it into a recreational activity, then that's when I think it starts to become weird.
I feel sorry for that poor multicopter. It never deserved to be flown by those dipshits. I'm starting a new group, Citizens for the Safety of Multirotor Aircraft. We at CSMA vow to keep all multirotor aircraft out of the hands of animal 'rights' groups such as SHARK and PETA, where these magnificent creatures can freely roam the skies and take video of random beach boobies. Join me, and together we can protect the rights of innocent radio controlled aircraft!

Personally I don't hunt (unless you consider pigeons and rabbits with an air rifle hunting, cheers UK) but I do fish a lot and the principle is the same. You'll find that within the hunting/fishing community there's a great deal of respect for the game animal/fish.
Here in Illinois, there's hundreds of private hunting ranges were people breed tons of deer and just let them loose in a tiny area.
[QUOTE=Aman VII;34766100]Stupid animal rights hippies make me mad. And it's a fucking pigeon who cares, it's a stupid flying reptile practically. [editline]19th February 2012[/editline] This vid makes me lol but rage at the same time. These idiots practically stalk/chase this hunter for no reason other than hes a hunter. OH MAN WRITE HIS LICENSE PLATE DOWN yeah for all those crimes that he ... didn't commit? He pulls out a gun on them (not the best choice of action) but his friend calms him down.

Looks like the person who was controlling it never heard of flying away like fuck when shot at.
I dunno I think its kind of mean just to catch a shit load of birds for the purpose of shooting them down the second you release them. I think we should do that with the people in groups like PETA and SHARK. Ammo better spent that way.
[QUOTE=Snuffy;34765456]I'm pretty sure these pigeon shoots are usually done with shotguns loaded with birdshot. I doubt the shooters had the range to endanger anyone on the highway.[/QUOTE] You'd be surprised, shotguns are still very lethal at over 100 yards. I'm 100% glad they did it, these fucking animal rights groups are retarded. We hunt so they don't over populate and fuck with ecosystems around. We had a big wolf boom a few years ago where wolf population shot up, and the wolves started killing deer. Local government put in 1 year of wolf hunting to bring it down and now everything is back to normal.

If you're going to go hunting, actually go out and find the animals that were made 100% by nature and put effort into finding them. Shit like that disgusts me, I think that if you're going to say you go hunting because you went out in a small field and a big deer that was breeded to be huge just so you can shoot it, you don't deserve to hunt. Not saying you do it, but we have those around here in North Dakota too.

There is no population control, they are in fact contributing to the problem if the pigeons escape. [B]Edited:[/B] cognitive dissonance much ?

Private ranges usually have a plethora of game, and tend not to care if a buck or 2 jumps out.

Sure you might hear about people bragging about getting that big buck, but they almost always eat it later.
