Hunting is for pussies.

With all of the weapon topics lately, I figured I would bring this up.

Okay, so our potential vice president Sarah Palin supports the management of wolves in the wild. If you're a hermit crab, that basically means she flies around in an air craft shooting poor wolves while they run like shit to avoid the shots.
The reason in doing this is to preserve the doe that roam wild in Alaska. Preserving the doe serves little purpose besides saving more doe for the so called "hunters" to shoot at. That's fucking weak.
The argument that we should continue to manage the wolves is based off of the fact that what a wolf does to stay alive is violent and disgusting. They pro-management group claims that wolves are savage. They say that what a wolf does is terrible, and should be stopped at all costs.

Now wait a minute. That concerns me. The pro-management side is the same side that wants to SHOOT a doe with a gun, killing it. Usually just for jollies.
The anti-management claims that killing wolves is animal cruelty. Which it obviously is. Picture a "hunter" in his plane, chasing a wolf with a shotgun, and blowing the poor animal to hell just because that animal does what it has to to survive.

Personally, I believe that any gun used against an animal for sport is fucking lame. If you're so much of a pussy that you have to kill animals just to put them on your wall then you seriously need to get out more. Killing animals should be done for survival only.

I think management is bullshit. Tell me what Fakku thinks.

I have never killed any animal for sport.

I agree but, that is hardly hunting. That is pathetic sport hunting under the disguise of "management". True hunters eat what they kill whether they used a gun, bow, rock,etc. They animal being killed should serve a purpose. The meat, the fur, everything should be used to some degree. "hunting" from a helicopter is just... lets just say my inner native American wants to go on the war path.

"Pig with lipstick" lol. But she is a bitch though, I hope the wolves jump into the plane and rip her to shreds.
I only consider a hunter someone who hunts to survive(for food) and only otherwise if the kill the animal with their bare hands or a melee weapon.
I love wolves jut as much as dogs and foxes, I hate people like her.

Wolves are basically nonexistent in the United States. There's plenty of deer though, if she's concerned about deer then she can focus on at least my state where last year people were encouraged to hunt due to the over population of deer.

She can stick to her moose hunting. Overall I dislike her, a lot.

I think you could have titled this differently, because this kind of topic - if you go about it wrong will start flame wars.

I don't agree with hunting for sport. That's about all I have to say.

Same here, it's not "sport".

This is in Alaska, where wolves are plentiful. (To a certain extent).

I'm glad the majority of you agree with me here. That makes me happy.


Sport.
A sport is a trial of endurance. A sport would never involve a death if avoidable. My sport is Wrestling. Weight Lifting. Soccer.
Those are sports. Pointing a gun at something, and causes the death of another breathing being is not sport.

I am no vegetarian, but I do not like to waste anything. Like someone had stated above. If an animal is killed for survival, everything should be used from it's body. Many Native Americans even held rituals for the dead animals to thank them for what they did for the hunter.
That's very impressive.

She pisses people off, I still can't believe she managed to slide in on a dog sled with the political bullshit. I swear it's like a modern soap opera - politics that is. Moosehunting, 17 year old pregnant daughters, and two faced bitch stories - oh my~

It's the wolves home and they're the invaders.

Not only that, but out of a plane is just ridiculous. Makes her even more of a pussy.

Sports though isn't about life or death, it's competition. In Roman times most of the sports had a high chance of casualty... I'm not saying your wrong, that people should shoot things to have fun, but just the definition...

In some Mayan sports, the athlete that lost would be sacrificed.
Now that's hard game. :wink:

fix'd

Palin's shit is not hunting, neither is chilling on the back of a pick-up with a beer, shotgun and some buddies while your half-starved dogs run some terrified deer into your sights.
Thats fucked up pussy sport.

A buddy of mine actually did some hardcore hunting a few weeks ago... Went out in the real Alaskan wilderness (try that Palin), spent a few week, camping and surviving on what game he and his friends could kill, had some tense run ins with Kodiak bears, and shot a massive buck (whose meat he brought back home and ate) after a whole day of tracking it.

Thats hunting. That I have no problem with at all...

Same, I always eat it and my grandpa makes stuff out of the skin. Tho I haven't hunted in over 2 years.

Hunting is something you do when the situation dictates that either you kill or you starve. Its a matter of survival. If you choose to go out hunting, what you're really doing is deciding to go out and kill some animals, it doesn't matter if you use every single molecule of what you kill. Hunting isn't a sport, its not supposed to be fun, and its not a leisure activity. Its only hunting when you're actually stuck in the wilderness and the decision to kill something is a choice of whether you want to live or die.

A man in tattered clothes that hasn't seen any trace of "civilized society" in a great deal of time, that caves a fox's skull in with a log and eats it raw because in the time it takes to start a fire to cook the fucker, he could die of starvation, is a true hunter. A bum that, out of necessity, snaps a stray cat's neck and eats it without any regard for what kind of diseases it could have is a true hunter. A man that goes to some wooded area or any kind form of nature for that matter, camps out, and the only thing he has to eat is what he can shoot, is a fucking dick.

why waste your time hunting for hours, looking for ONE animal, while you can be in a shooting range, comfortably with a bunch of people right next to you, conversing and having intelligent discussions.

people shoot animals because its fun to watch animals that have struggled to survive for years die because of a bullet to the whatever. to them, its like football. its fun, exciting, and exhilerating. but seriously,get real, go to a shooting range and fuck off.

I suppose we need an alaskan pov on this, so here ya go...kinda.

I live in Alaska and know first hand that this is a very controversial topic, though it is executed nonetheless. Personally, the only hunting I do/condone is with a bow and blades, guns are for the weak when dealing with animals of this caliber.

Shooting wolves from a plane is bs and has no real merit to anything but humans, making it increasingly more lame. A better sport would be to get some anti-air and shoot down the hunters shooting wolves.

WIN

Fuckin' A, that's what I'm talking about. If you're going to take the time to go out and kill things, do it properly. Use like a fucking battle ax or a sword or a big fucking log to cave the animal's skull in. And, in all seriousness, if you can't get the job done with the weapon you're using, you are obviously stepping outside you're means. So, you either set a trap, kill something smaller, or go the fuck home and realize that its a stupid fucking idea anyway to go out and kill animals on a whim.

lol, yea, but people are lazy and it's more "humane" to use guns...apparently...even though they dont take the head off, so it still suffers.

I also forgot to add that if you kill it, you damn well better use all of it, maybe leave the entrails for scavengers but thats about it.

I vote no by virtue of the fact that I still think a guy who can kill a bear with only a spear or bow and arrow is pretty kick ass. However there are almost no people who hunt like this, which makes the normal hunters pussies.
