My hubby just LOVES hunting with me.
Most men would like their wives to hunt with them. At least the ones I know.
It's the wives that prefer to stay home.

hunting =

True story.

When I was in the police academy I was totally looking through my gun site with the wrong eye. Duh, no wonder I was missing the targets. hahahaha!! It's very hard for me to close my left eye.

You are my hero. You've been everywhere and eaten everything. Woo hoo!! You need to write a book honey.

I would love to sit and chat with you.

Last fall, there was a nice bachelor party with two decent bucks. The biggest was just under 300 yards. Nice rack, good body, older, with a grey tail and in charge of the others. I had a good rest, a good position, but couldn't get the cross hairs lined up. I was too excited, and will not shoot under those circumstances.(plus my hubby was nearby, and he's such an annoyance, I can't shoot with HIM around, either), They're all still out there! Safe and sound.
We have high powered binoculars and glass-up deer most hunters can't find.

Needless to say, I haven't shot much in a while....

Quail hunting is the worst! I use a 12 gauge over and under ultralight Berretta shotgun..
I have two limits during bird season:
-Game and Fish limit of 10 birds/day
-ammo limit imposed by the hubby.

One day I went through two boxes of ammo, and only shot one bird.
I had a sore shoulder the next day.
Quail fly low, fast, and in the mesquite.
Dove season is the same way. I only shot one of those last season, also.

killing animals for pleasure is wrong

This is the lone bird.....made a good appetizer. Quail and dove breast are tasty, wrapped in bacon and grilled.

The way I shoot? That thing flew into my ammo!!!
(I'm better at big game)

Yes my ex would have loved for me to go out hunting with him....

NO THANK YOU!
I am all for hiking - not for killing animals.
I refuse.

xplnyrslf said:

HAHAHA!

Thats cute!

I will never understand how anyone actually enjoys killing animals . You could pay me a lot of money, no way I would do it.

Serious said:

Me either but my ex was brought up doing it - shot his first deer at 12 yrs old. It was a family heritage thing so I always tried to respect that but I never wanted to do it myself.

I'm telling you!! This bird was on a suicide mission! There's 25 shotgun shells per box and I went through two boxes! There were plenty of birds around, I just missed them all.

I see. I can also understand that forest rangers do it, but just doing it for pure enjoyment .

Serious said:

I don't even approve when forest rangers do it, at least not when they claim that certain animal populations "need to be decimated" because they've "grown too large". Says who? The eco system is self-regulating. If the environment can't sustain the population then any excessive numbers will die off naturally. No need for humans to step in and play god.

Serious said:

well one good thing about him was that he did not care if he did not get one, he would NEVER sit up in a tree or hunt at a place where they fed them just to shoot them. When they did get one they used all of the meat. They never went out drinking or out to see who could get the most or the biggest. He tried to hunt here in Florida but got disgusted with the mentality of the hunters. He also used a riffle type gun- muzzle loader(ball & black powder- pre-1800's style) no high powered scopes or fancy rifles for him and his family.
So I respected that they were really out to learn the mountains and terrain and the animals and I was also happy he was not a very good shot. lol
I can respect it in some ways even though I do not agree with it.

We humans have stepped in, so I guess the eco system may not be self regulating anymore as the natural habitat doesn't exist anymore in it's original form.

shanti0608 said:

Yeah the kind of hunting when they just allure animals so that some rich people can easily shoot them is the very worst IMO.

Dewrede said:

I guess she could have bought it at the supermarket.

Serious said:

Not when it's continuously being disrupted by hunters and construction etc, but the minute we step back and let it run its course it finds its balance again. So it's not a matter of saying that "oh, well we've stepped in so it's fucked anyway". All we need is just to stop interferring.

I am so not an expert so maybe your right .
