No I don't hunt. There is something about killing unarmed helpless creatures who didn't even agree to participate in this "sport" that doesn't appeal to me. And I don't like anyone who hunts.

.303 for rabbits. Overkill or what? I've used .22-250 on a hare and I swear I'll never do that again.scumofsociety said:
Anyways, generally I stick to things like squirrels, rats, rabbits and pidgeons. The pest animals.
I have never done it but I really want to give hunting a try. The only weapon I have is a .22 air rifle and i don't know what thats suitable for hunting, if anything at all and i cant afford a shotgun or anything. And i dont know whether or not you need a liscence or anything to go.
I also wouldn't know where to go. I live in north east England.
And to the people with objections to hunting, this thread isnt for you. Its for people who do/want to hunt. If you have an objection, start your own thread about it.

Yeah, I just like Lee Enfields. If ever I'm given a choice, that's what I'll go for.Eat Uranium said:
I'm sort of morally opposed to hunting, unless the game is noobs in UT3, and my weapon is a BioRifle. Love it when those green globs of slime melt peoples' brains.
Saying he committed genocide is wrong 'cos he never, I have just looked it up and it says attempted genocide is still genocide but it isn't.Wadders said:
Let me explain, you either do something, don't do something or attempt to do something, murder for example. You can either a murder, not a murder or attempt to murder, just 'cos you tried to do it doesn't mean you did it. If we go by the definition that attempted means you succeeded that means I flew once!
People who do things the hard way round are illogical, life is to short to make things hard for yourself (no jokes please).
I like what Bill Bailey said "I am a vegetarian, I only eat fish ... and ducks, well comon there like fish, they spend most of there life in the water ... and cows ... and any other animals that go near water"
I know a male deer is a buck, I just heard a guy say "he is full of buck shot" on a horror film after a guy got wasted by a shotgun so I just call it buckshot.
How about you don't eat the hard to get stuff? I have never had it so it's not essential to living. It is nice to vary things around but I can vary it without hunting.
You probably can buy it, butchers or more upper class places will probably stock it.
Go to a pet shop and buy a pet to have a close relationship with an animal, if you don't want to clean up after it just go to a friends house or a petting zoo. It's hardly a relationship if you look at it down the sites for a few seconds then treat it like the Russian civvies in MW2 and make it fall down.
Exactly, I don't want a relationship with a cow, I want a burger, with cheese, maybe some milk and leather clothes and/or furniture.
So you think "wow, look at that deer eating grass in these woods, isn't it amazing! It's like a scene from a movie .... I shall call it Bambi's mum!"

also you could get a decent shotgun for about 300-500p
Seriously guys: what are you all freaking out about? Hunting is an ageold tradition. When i put a swarm of birdshot in a grouse I belive i have earned the right to kill it and eat it cause i'm skilled enough to do it. Said grouse feels no pain at all if you do it right and hunting associatons focus primarily on killing the animal humanely. These comments on genocide and that hunters do it for entertainment is a farse. Ofcourse there are hunters who do it for the thrill of the hunt. I am one them and if your'e going hunting you might as well enjoy it. The animals are killed anyways if you buy it from a store.
people have been doing this since the dawn of time and controling the population of a species if very important due to the fact that without doing so, there will not be enough food for everyone. Then they will starve to death and die slowly. How humane is that?
Seriously people: I expected more from the social elite that is The Escapist...

You said you wanted the Meat, not for the trophy.DoctorNick said:
You can buy the meat from an animal specially selected for that purpose, if you buy a couple of steaks, the rest will go to some other people, frozen and kept in a market for a longer period of time.
So you can't justify that anyway unless you need the 'sport' without the 'trophy'
An Idaho hunting license is $12.75, the game tag for a deer is $19.75, so from a strictly practical standpoint an entire deer would cost me $32.50 plus my time and effort, thus saving a large amount of money as compared to going to a specialty meat shop.heyheysg said:
None of the meat is going to go to waste either, what's stopping me from buying a chest freezer and storing it in there? It'll easily last a year or more and I can guarantee you I'd eat all of it.
As for getting some 'sport' out of it as well, all I can say is: DUUUHHH...
If I wasn't going to get some pleasure out of the act of going into the wilderness and hunting an animal down to begin with then it sure as shit wouldn't be worth my time and effort. As long as I'm actually using the animals body for something useful and not just letting it all go to waste then I don't see what the problem is.
...
Besides, since when did I have to justify anything to you anyway?

Fixed a typo.
