Who here likes to hunt for meat?

I prefer to hunt for meat and not for trophy. When hunting deer I prefer does for flavor over bucks. For birds I like to shoot mourning doves and pheasant. I like good retrievers in the field for birds. Field ducks over decoys have the best taste. Puddlers that eat grain like mallards.

It's not hunting unless there is a man with his gun following a good dog or two.

I hunt in America.

Hunting for meat is good ethics and good conservation. It makes for a good lean protein diet.

I don't hunt, personally, but It's probably more ethical than supporting factory farming and feedlots by buying meat from a market, at least for small numbers. If everyone took up the practice, though, we'd wipe out all the wildlife in the US. Fields and forests can't support the populations needed to feed everyone at present levels of meat consumption.

I stopped buying meat from the store a few years ago. A deer can last my family for about 7-8 months.

What I find amusing are those who denounce hunting as cruel yet still eat meat from other sources as if slaughter houses were less cruel.

I knew man in California, a middle-age liberal Democrat type. He said he didn't like hunting. I told him that he buys meat from the supermarket and that those animals were slaughtered. He said, "Yeh, but that's different."

Man is a natural predator. Such animals kill what they eat. The hypocrites who buy only meat killed by somebody else are mere scavengers. I'm both a predator and a scavenger. Some wild animals as the lion will both kill fresh meat and scavenge from others if the opportunity presents itself.

I'm a human lion, I guess.

Considering the price of meat these days, it's likely cheaper, and I take a buck could feed you for months.

And you didn't follow up? Me, I wouldn't have been able to resist. ;)

Man is naturally lots of things, but not empathetic or co-operative outside of the bands we're hard wired to function in. Civilized behavior is decidedly UNnatural.
We have the natural mind of a Pleistocene hunter-gatherer. Our natural moral universe doesn't extend beyond the handful of people in our bands.

I don't hunt; I don't think I could, but I have no objection when others do as long as it's done responsibly, ethically and for food not trophies. I have a friend who is an avid bow hunter, though sometimes he uses a rifle. I too would rather eat game than factory-farmed meat. Though I'm working my way towards not eating it at all (again :rolleyes:).
