I went hunting with an uncle once, although i think the technical term was poaching. Had more fun evading the game keepers than the actual hunting part. Mainly cos I was shit scared that they would shoot us.

yup, small game, upland bird, and deer.
But I don't like hunting deer.

@steinfaust You can use a ghillie suit when bowhunting, but be careful, some guy wearing one lit a ciggarette and it started on fire...he died.

EDIT: I forgot turkey, I use a shotgun but I wanna try it with a handgun sometime

'Hunting', it's such a cool word isn't it, I suppose 'Using a High Powered Killing Device Against A Creature That Has No Idea What Is Happening' is too long.

Fair enough to genuine pest control and food consumption.

If you want to hunt, strip down bollock naked and launch yourself bare handed at a deer/bear/wolf, if you kill it, far as I'm concerned you fucking earnt it.
True, it isn't really fair to the animal you're killing but then again it's not supposed to be. You're the predator, you're supposed to have the upper hand. I don't think it's fair for a cheetah to be able to run faster than a thompson gazelle and have razor sharp claws and teeth, but it's the predator, it's supposed to be able to kill the prey.

I wish it were legal to use higher grade weapons on animals. Like, how much fun would it be to shoot a cow with a rocket launcher?

Are you kidding? You ask a gaming site if it goes hunting? Of course it goes hunting!

My personal favorite is zombie hunting. You grab your AK, sit in the middle of the infected area and just wait for your prey to come to you. Alternately, if your looking for slightly smaller game, I highly recomend Grunts. Give 'em a bit of a head start and then blow their heads off. Good for your accuracy and a highly satisfying kill.

All of this is best when your drunk of course but I'll leave that to your descretion.

I've gone hunting and loved it, but never really did particualrly want to kill anything, as we had a "clean what you kill" rule, and I hated cleaning even fish. Mostly about putting loads of rounds through various firearms and at various targets.

I've never gone hunting, but I wouldn't mind doing it once. I think I'd prefer a crossbow over a gun, because I've shot one a few times already, and its a bit easier to get the bolts out than small chunks of metal.
And about the 'go kill a wolf bollock-naked': wolves have sharp claws, we have these short useless nails. Wolves have sharp fangs to kill things, we have teeth to, well, bite and chew. But at least humans have brains, so we can make sharp pointy sticks, as a replacement for claws and fangs. So that makes it fair enough for me.

ive been hunting since i was 11. The first thing my dad taught me about hunting is that you never ever ever take a shot that would make an animal suffer for hours, make it quick and clean. (thus why i can shoot a quarter at 100 yards)Also as a rule i never really shoot does nor do I shoot bucks that have less than 4 points. Now you may call that trophy hunting, believe me im not looking for trophies, i just want to give the little guy a chance to get bigger and smarter which equals more food and more of a challenge. Also being a broke ass college kid, haveing extra food that is somewhat free is a god send.

Haven't gone yet, but I'm hoping to eventually. My aim is halfway decent, I don't make a fool of myself at the range and there's quite a bit non-parkland forests around my town, the only thing really stopping me is the fact that I don't have a permit nor any idea of how to actually hunt. Might have to fix those issues.

on paper, i would love hunting

but then i moved to Missouri and talked to some people about it. apparently it's hours of camping (i hate camping) and hiking (i hate hiking) just so that the one good shot in the group can kill everything in sight even having to use your tags.

THEN, once the animal is dead it's like trying to evacuate the corpse of a morbidly obese man from a remote jumgle camp.

After you get it home then you get to know what a Mafiat Cleaner feels like as you try to eviscerate, disembowl and "CLEAN" the deceased creature without staining your carpet and/or kitchen floor. Oh, prepare to get complaints from the non-hunting family members because your home (if you cleaned it there) will smell like a dead hobo for a week.

Around here, if you don't want to eat it, you can donate the meat from whatever you were hunting (deer, duck, goose, pheasant, etc) to the state's homeless shelters and soup kitchens. I would say everybody wins, but most of what goes to the meat lockers are the deer that people hit with thier cars. Actually had a client call and ask me this spring "I just knocked the hell out of a deer in my driveway, do you want some steaks?" Not really hunting, not if you use a car and never leave your back yard...but free food is free food. And who the hell can afford all that equipment anyway?

The one good shot in camp should never shoot animals for others' tags - that's illegal. Besides, it's about the HUNTING, not the KILLING. Damned few people today will go hungry if they don't kill something.

Agree about dragging it out, though. I once raised the rifle on a deer and then thought "Damn, I'm two miles from the truck. I'm not shooting that heavy thing!"

Short answer, no.
Long answer: I like the forests, I like hiking, but I don't like firearms or killing vertebrates.

I used to go a lot more often with my grandfather when I was younger, but I haven't in about 7 years now. I did enjoy it the times that I did go though, especially the 2 times that I actually got anything.
