careful who you hunt with

[philw]

a tad to close for my liking

I like the way they were all bunched up, even the camera guy. Made it easier for the buffalo to get a strike!

I would not feel right about a Safari or other form of "sport" or "Trophy" hunting unless the game had a near equal chance of killing me as well.
That's just me and I do not expect every one else to agree, if it's to feed your family it's a different story, night scopes, suppressors, (dam, silencer may not be correct but it's easier to spell ) spot lights, what ever it takes.
Just like , I do not approve of shooting prairie dogs, or coyotes for fun. But I realize, I also do not depend on livestock for my living either.

Thats nothing Phil,
cop a load of this horse puckey

This is probably one of the worst examples of a hunt I have come accross, the outfit should be bloody ashamed to have made it let alone run such a dodgy, canned hunt. The bloke shooting should have access to a BB gun let alone a rifle. We as firearm owners and hunters wonder how groups like PETA get such a following, well its easy f#$kwits like this are allowed to take people shooting and call it hunting and then they show their videos on YOUTUBE.

A couple of my friends went on a "Boar hunt" in Me. a few years back, they had the same reaction.
You go to the pen and pick your boar, they let it into the enclosure and you kill it on it's way to the feed trough.
The dam things are practically tame

I would probably agree with you, except for the fact that we have prairie dogs like new york has cockroaches. They are a very large problem, not only for livestock producers, but even in city parks and neighborhoods. They absolutely decimate the ground. We try to eradicate them as a pest. The fact that they are fun to shoot is just a bonus. So in a lot of ways they are just like terrorists.

Yeah.

Also at the 1:04 mark in the first video, I like how the back-up shooter shoots first....while standing almost directly behind the front guy.
Would have been really easy to blow off a shoulder like that.
Just lucky I guess.

Rob   I had only just seen that vid,  and was going to post it here as well

facepalm   how can they call that hunting ??





Tom   however I know you are not a fan of hunting  however would you still stick up for someone wanting to be able to do it though ??

[fightingquaker13]

To me it boils down to this. Are you hell bent on killing something, or are you happy with the hunt (or fishing) regardles of whether you catch/shoot something? If its the latter you are a hunter, if you want the kill, well, you are something else. I've gone on a lot of trips where I can say the hunting/fishing was great, but we didn't get a damn thing. I'd take ten of those over shooting a tame pig in a canned hunt.

Me too.    I never got the whole canned hunt idea.

When I hunt, if I kill the biggest buck in the woods then PERFECT. If I don't it's still PERFECT.
At least I got the juices flowing (adrenaline for game and beer for fish) and I'm not at home sitting on the couch.
