As a teen I was an avid hunter. All the way to my earlt twenties.I had an uncle that was a game cop with the state so iI kind knew where all the best stands were.Then along came the military. Needless to say being hunted in the jungle puts a WHOLE new spin on hunting.I no longer hunt. But more power to those that do to feed thier families. I dont even have a problem with some poor guy poping an elk out of season to feed his kids.
What I DO have a problem with is the assholes that will go out and pop 10 cow elk and leave em in the field to rot.
But I'm just funny that way.


Amen...my problem is with the road hunters...people that pop out of their trucks shoot a deer in a field and speed away with it.  Last time I checked it's still illegal too. 


Don't even use the word hunters when applying it to such low-lifes...They are simply POACHERS!!!....And everyone I know whether it be fishing or hunting takes pleasure in calling a game warden or your local DNR to make sure they get what they deserve.

Cows are often still alive when they are butchered, male chickens are thrown into trash cans to die and the females have their beaks broken off and are stacked in cages so the ones on top shit on the ones below.

There are no wolves in NY to thin the herds, the deer population is rampant and as a result, in my county less than 100 miles from Manhattan the largest cause of automobile fatalities come from deer.

Either allow hunting to control population growth or reintroduce wolves. Unfortunately neither coyote nor mountain lion will take down deer, they prefer rabbit.

The coyotes here are pack hunters.  They can and do take down deer.  Usually the very young or old.  But I have seen them hunt a full grown buck.  Unfortunatley they also go after farm animals and pets as well.  I don't think we have wolves here.  If we do they're in too few numbers to make a dent.  I know I've never seen one here.

food, but was limited by the poll set-up, which only allowed
1 choice.  Those 2 reasons for hunting make sense to me.

Status: offline 		Had the pleasure of watching a "lone" coyote try and take down a deer that was a little slowed down by the snow we had during December....It wasn't successful...Think I played a part in scaring it off (by mistake...got out of my car to watch...too close) It mangled the deer...Never would've believed it if I didn't see it.  Maybe the deer was sick...but it ran off...hopefully the coyote came back and finished the job. 

I always knew that they were effective as a group....but this was just a lone coyote.

Status: offline 		It may have been driving it toward the rest of the pack...or maybe it was just a loner. They are vicious bastards though so I wouldn't doubt it.  If it was winter the deer probably died anyway and the coyote may have just tracked it to wear it fell....hard to tell

One benefit of hunting that seems to get overlooked is that, in this age of suburban sprawl, it gives people a stake in protecting wild spaces, and I think that's really important.

Status: offline 		Good point, I didn't think of that.  I live in an area where the biggest city is about 25K people most places are under 5K.  So there isn't a lot of suburban anything.  The wilderness is usually only a couple of miles away in the most populated area.
