    Default The Official Hunting Thread

    Hey! I'm out in the woods right now! All my camouflage compromised because it started snowing heavily. I'm green and brown on a background turning more and more white!

    I hope to get a deer this year

    Anyone else go hunting?

    I used to go, but haven't been able to in a few years.

    Also, deer are primarily colorblind, so camouflage isn't as important as you might think, though it's still important. Scent is more important. Never stalk in a downwind direction. You probably already knew that, but I figured I'd add it anyway...

    Colour matters when the snow makes you more visible and all my hunting clothes and myself are properly washed.

    I got to hear two buck clash antlers but I only have doe tags and bear.

    I probably won't kill anything

    Well, they may not be getting lives, but at least they're taking them.

    Possibly not, but that's what makes hunting worthwhile (besides getting to spend some time in nature)... it's not easy.

    I have no tolerance for those people who go out with thousands and thousands of dollars in fancy, hightech hunting equipment only to gut shoot a deer and lose its trail, so it can suffer and die in a bush somewhere. I'm a traditionalist, I think that the less help you have, the better of a hunter you need to be.

    I figured that out in New York in the late 70's.

    Seriously though, what kind of person actually enjoys going and tracking down and killing other living beings...Like, who do you have to be to actually like that...

    I don't really enjoy hunting but I have to so we can eat, we're financially fucked and I have 6 12 gauge slugs so I'm gonna get a deer or two for meat. My parents are also insisting on it. I've also been turned down for every job I've applied for

    But you can afford to pay for guns, ammunition and fuel to drive to the wilderness?

    And if that was really the case, why would you make an "Official Hunting Thread" and discuss your outfit and methods of tracking down animals for you to kill. That doesn't come across as someone who is only having to do this because they're hungry.

    A normal human being in it's natural environment? Considering as a species that's what we've spent most of our time on this planet doing?

    i don't enjoy waking up way early in the morning either but i do like not getting screwed over and missing all of my obligations for the day

    if you're going to eat meat you may as well hunt for it so that your meat comes from an actual animal in the woods that does animal things until it is killed rather than a cow/pig/chicken that gets tortured in a dark, dirty building by depressed, borderline-sociopathic underpaid workers for a fraction of its natural lifespan

    and if you're going to hunt you may as well enjoy the process where you can rather than flagellating yourself about it

    that said, i don't hunt. i don't have the time or the money to be able to do it. but i do like to get the meat from relatives who hunt when they hunt. i suck at shooting anyway, to be honest. i'd gladly take up a musket and bayonet and kill fascists in the name of the cause but.... wait, what do you mean we don't use those anymore

    I hunt the tiny land my neighbor own, and the guns and ammo I have a acquired from my grandfather's death.

    I live in poverty dude

    i was waiting till we moved to Norway to start hunting again, but that's out of the picture now. because of that, i'm probably only going to get to hunt the chances i go to Texas to visit family. i don't know what it's like up in Oregon and don't really have the time to try.

    eta. ignore all the blowhard moralizing that has already come to this thread and, i'm sure, there will be more to come.

    I don't really understand. Are you saying we should go back to a hunter-gatherer society?

    There's no such thing as "normal human being." Human history moves us forward. We don't walk around bare-footed talking in grunts and living in caves, do we? So what is "normal"?

    Be that as it may, you clearly enjoy doing it.

    it's possible she just enjoys being in natural surroundings and hunting is the thing she has to do in order to feed her family.

    come off it.

    If hunting was such an incidental part of MS's need to survive, why would she make a thread called Official Hunting Thread and then start talking about the kind of outfits she's going to wear, talking about how she "hopes to get a dear."

    I "hope" to be able to buy carrots when I go to the supermarket, you know, to survive, but I don't make the Official Carrot Buying Thread and talk about what clothes I'm going to wear as if it were a party, do I?

    because there are others who may be into it for the same reasons she is. what you wear matters to some extent when you hunt, so it's nice to get tips when the goal is to hunt.

    do you need some strategy in order to buy carrots? no. this is some disingenuous bullshit you're pulling here.
