How Many of you Knife fans like to hunt?

Pigs, deer, elk, game birds, rabbits, etc. As noted by others, I take them for food. Many non-hunters don't know that in most jurisdictions you can't shoot something for just the horns and leave the meat. In many jurisdictions, you could be charged with felony waste of a big game animal. And, as a practical matter, responsible hunters wouldn't consider wasting meat even if there were no law against it.

See the thing is, meat never goes to waste, something has to feed the critters, like Condors and such :)

That explains a lot. My son is a vegetarian but he is not an idiot. You never should have entered this conversation as you are no better than a troll.

Dude, no need to insult me. You call me an idiot and a troll. Why? Is it that if I don't agree with your opinion I am an idiot and a troll?

I have replied to the questions that people have asked about my reasoning and you have just thrown insults at me.

Lighten up man.

You think charity is wasteful?

No, as long as they do give the meat to charity. Not all the places do that.

I was a meat eater for 34 years of my life. Only in the last 8 months have I become a vegetarian. It simply has to do with how factory farms treat the animals. The captive bolt gun that doesn't kill the animal and only stuns it.

All you have to do is search YouTube for 'slaughterhouse' to find enough reason to become vegetarian.

I could guarantee that animals were slaughtered like they were on my grand parents farm I would still eat them. But since I cannot I choose not to. They had chickens, cow, and pigs. When it was time to kill a chicken they cut it's head off. The life of the chicken was a good one though. It was outside or in a barn in the coop where it had tons of room to roam. As opposed to today where they cram chickens into such tight areas that they cut their beaks half off so they don't peck each other to death.

I'm not trying to turn this thread into an "animal rights / anti-hunting" thread. I only hope that people realize that you should (or someone should) eat what you kill. And that hunting (in any form) is, for the most part, WAY more humane to the animals than any factory farm will ever be.

So I say "go hunt"......just don't waste. Don't take a life "for fun".
 
I do not understand "hunting for fun" and personaly I think people who do that are sick.
 
Knife nut hunter checking in.

I didn't do much this year--pheasant hunted for 13 hrs total one weekend and saw 1 rooster.
 
Mr. Lowry,

How would you feel if you started a thread to discuss your enjoyment of vegitarianism and the many uses of knives in that lifestyle -- from planting to harvesting to cooking to eating -- and someone else burst in to criticize the ethics or morality of your diet?

You are behaving as a troll in this thread.

If you want to discuss the moral or ethnical aspects of hunting and diet, this is not the proper venue. Here on bf.c, the Political Forum is probably the best place for you to take up that topic.



Mr. David1967,

Much the same can be said for your last post.

Another hunter here!
Go with my uncle out for shooting rabbits and hare, ocassionaly some dove or crows.
Back home I shoot critters.
I would love to live in the USA, I really dig the hunting and outdoor style which some people have.

I have used several of the large calibers. I was into all the "Big" bores when I was a little younger. I have 2 - 375 H&H, the #1 and a Stainless Model 70, which I shot several bucks with as well as does. I have used a 45-70. I have a 9.3x74R Merkel Double Rifle which I have shot 6 does with, Its my baby. But out of them all, my go to gun is the Ruger 300 Win Mag. I have a 458 Mag but i never shot anything with it.

My Great Grandfather used a 45-70 Black Powder. He always said " The Bigger The Ball, The Better "........lol.

I just spit coffee all over the monitor. Man has been hunting ducks like this since the beginning of time. It's how it's done. I don't shoot like gangbusters but in my old age have become a better shot. Different strokes. :jerkit:

Me too (jack daniels and coke). I cannot believe I sit in the cold pouring rain in a leaky freaking boat, quacking like a moron just to blast at these wittle winged water loving waterfowl like gangbusters (with my 3-shot 12Ga. watercannon) and then have to clean them stinky bastids before cooking them!!

That's as bad as shooting that 300 pound buck 2 miles from the nearest road and having to drag that behemoth over boulders, stumps, brush and all the other ground cover junk, then get it lifted into the back of my truck only to drive it to the weigh station to unload, check it in and reload it to get it to my house to unload and hang before I skin it. Where I hunt, taking a 100 yard shot requires me to shoot through 55 yards of the thickest shit one can find in the woods!! I usually get a peak at a deer's ass at 100 yards!!!!

Then the hard part comes.............................eating them suckers!!

And whoever says hunting is easy has never hunted (or is very very very lucky)

Everything out there dies and leaves a carcass laying around eventually. And some of them hunt each other. I've got no problems with hunting.
 
I hunted and trapped coyotes and bobcats years ago for their fur because they were worth some good money. I didn't eat the coyotes or bobcats, but I did buy food with the money. So, does that count? (BTW, I don't give a damn if it doesn't!)

I've hunted since I was six-years-old (sparrows - with my BB gun.) I killed and gutted my first deer when I was 12. I've always hunted - bow, black powder, handgun, rifle, traps - and I always will.

I do not understand "hunting for fun" and personaly I think people who do that are sick.

It's a man thing. I guess that's why you don't understand.

I've never hunted, though I have not problem with it and have enjoyed the hell out of trap and skeet back in Florida. Someday I hope to do some hunting, but I don't think it'll happen as long as I'm living here in Europe. Also, 40 seems a little old to start the hobby.
 
nyefmaker,

I also like the big bores. I have four 45-70s and your great grandfather was right. A 540 gr. cast lead bullet launched with blackpowder will take good care of most North American game.

The biggest thumper currently in my safe is a 470 NE over-under. A 500 grainer at close to 2400 fps solves a lot of problems. A little peace of mind in coastal brown bear country. With a 500 Linebaugh on the hip, at least you know you brought "enough gun".
 
I love my Merkel 9.3x74R double rifle. Its just less than the 375H&H, so its not too much overkill. It is Very accurate. I have shot 6 doe with it to date. The first deer I shot with it was a doe at 150yds away with the rangefinder. I dont think I shot too many with a scope that far. Probably the luckiest shot I ever made. I hit her high in the ribs. I wanted a nitro, but the 470 were at the time $250 for 20 shells. At my $8.00 an hour job at the time, it was out of the question. If anyone wants an affordable double rifle, for $5,000, the Merkel cant be beat......The big bores are nice though. I have shot several deer with my 375H&H model 70, its a real killer. Recoil is very managable.
 
True. Many pure target shooters haven't experienced that when you make a standing shot at game with a rifle like a .338/.375 (that would kick hard off a benchrest), you don't even notice the recoil. Of course, sighting in such a rifle from the bench usually brings a quick reminder!:D

I have hunted and would still do so except for certain issues (personal, not ethical).

Fishing is a drum whose beat I do not hear.
 
Love to hunt. Especially with a bow. I have a thing for sharp stuff. It's even more fun sending it through the air. Click the pic 2 times for full enjoyment.
