There aren't many dicks that just kill the animal for the head. Almost everyone uses or sells the meat.[/QUOTE]
shit even if you do kill animals just for the heads the taxidermist will almost always take the meat and either eat it or sell it

how is getting mauled by a pack of coyotes better than being killed instantly by a bolt?

or starving to death when winter comes around and there isnt enough food to sustain the population?

[QUOTE=Judas;46297192]hunting culture is unhealthy and disgusting[/QUOTE]
why is 'disgusting' or 'gross' the go-to word for saying you don't like something now? i see more and more people say things are gross when it has no actual relevance to what they're talking about.
also there's nothing wrong with hunting.
[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;46296665]Man killing a rare animal is so cool[/QUOTE]
Exceedingly common animal that is in all likelihood overpopulating it's habitat. The coat color is what makes it rare. Big difference.
[QUOTE=Judas;46297192]hunting culture is unhealthy and disgusting[/QUOTE]
Yes managing the population of animals so they dont spread disease and cause accidents is unhealthy and disgusting. Do research before making nonsense comments.
[QUOTE=Chaotic Lord;46297647]I have no problems with hunters doing this, so long as they either eat, give away, or sell the meat from the animal and don't just discard it.[/QUOTE]
I know virtually no hunters that don't either use the meat themselves or sell it to someone who will.
Nobody goes out to shoot deer, carve off their heads with a machete, and leaves the rest to rot.
[QUOTE=Perfumly;46297537]No I'm not, but good assumption. I very rarely eat meat. I am transitioning to a pescetarian diet.

Why are you bringing up the meat industry? Why are you talking about your diet? Why are you talking about fish that have no pain receptors? An 11 year old hunter killed an albino deer and everyone goes fucking nuts over it, I'm pretty sure(if its not diseased) they'll harvest the meat, so that's not going to waste. Just because someone hunts doesn't mean they don't care for animals.

Only dickheads shoot and leave animals to rot, or just cut the heads off, thankfully most people do not do that because the penalty is very harsh.

Let me correct myself :
So you're okay with eating mass fished products using dubious techniques that not only damage the environment but also the local wildlife as it catches considerably more than is actually needed (along with unwanted catch) but kill one random animal in the wild and suddenly it's barbarism
Would somebody just zoom in on his face and post the picture already?

Can we just put it this way: I'm not okay with us not living in harmony as cells on the massive organism we know as Earth. I am simply trying to take steps to reduce the amount of resources that I consume, as a human, in an effort to help the world.

Oh so the huge trawlers that needlessly slaughter thousands of individuals of sea life, including endangered species, are okay?
Or maybe you get them farmed, where the runoff from the polluted waters causes serious natural disruption?
Is that okay?
[QUOTE=BANNED USER;46297181]They're doing what I would have, it's one of the best trophy kills in years. And to anyone who thinks this is awful, do keep in mind that deer are basically giant rodents who do nothing but eat flowers and plants in the neighborhood and shit everywhere. Not to mention they fuck like rabbits and often cause traffic accidents because they're like lemmings waiting to die in the middle of the road. This kid got to it before anyone else, it was only a matter of time before somebody killed it, this kid happened to be in the right place at the right time.[/QUOTE]
Deer are pieces of shit. I watched one last night wait to dart infront of a pickup truck then jumped and ended up smashing through the front windshield of the truck injuring the guys kid in the front seat. they're nothing but pests and food
[QUOTE=Judas;46297192]hunting culture is unhealthy and disgusting[/QUOTE]
Kind of like your posts
i don't understand the arguments in the thread. what harm is there is there in hunting for sport or than it being "barbaric"? deer are extremely common if not overpopulated in a lot of areas in the U.S. and they're pests in many ways. even if you don't eat the meat, getting rid of deer even just for sport is often times helping deal with overpopulation or has very little if any impact at all. hell, it's hardly even "barbaric", the animal feels no more pain being hunted by someone with intent of sport rather than for food and i don't see any harm in any of the taxidermy or mounts people have of their hunts (if anything it's helping the economy by getting the deer's antlers/head put on a mount.)
as for the article not being national news well then who gives a shit. some people genuinely are interested in this kind of stuff. just because you aren't doesn't mean it deserves to be bashed. not every article on the internet is going to be about super important issues like ISIS or ebola or some shit, random bits of news that aren't important get on big news sites all the time and this is nothing new.

I'm not denying that, but we are destroying the world. It's okay to eat animal proteins, but I feel better eating less sentient forms of life. That is a personal choice, and I do not judge anyone for their choices. I just feel we all need to take a step on our own to better humanity overall, and cultures revolving around killing when they do not truly understand or appreciate the life they are taking seems just wrong to me.
I'm fine with hunting, long as you don't waste what ya get. I've killed my fair number of deer, got a nice buck up on me wall (which tasted fantastic, btw.) Made a blanket out of his pelt, mounted the head up on the wall. Sold the bones to some Native American chap. Kept the skull, though. Makes a neat Halloween mask.

They feel the sensation of something touching them, but they do not experience "pain" as we know it. Regardless, it is a bit beside the point at this time. Sorry I let assumptions about my stray the topic of the thread :)

I hunt deer. We have a serious population issue with them here. I sometimes take the meat myself if I have room to do so. If not, I donate it.
I guess I'm just 'barbaric' according to some for this. Heh.
