 These are the sort of people I mostly think of when American's talk about the noble tradition of hunting. Not killing for protection, or food, or population management, or any other reason that would give this some remote justification. Just stacking the odds totally in their favour and killing for the twisted pleasure of ending another soul. Sport huh? It's a bit like a grown man having a boxing match against a 2 year old and then feeling elated when he knock's the toddler the @!$# out. Cowardly and small.

It's a bit like a grown man having a boxing match against a 2 year old and then feeling elated when he knock's the toddler the @!$# out. Cowardly and small. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people in America that "hunt" this way. However, there are people in America who hunt and harvest the animal for food (not necessarily because they need the food to survive, but because they want to learn the means of survival if needed). Some will argue that it is completely unnecessary to hunt at all, but I do think there is value in the knowledge of where / how food is harvested. I have hunted in the past and still do on occasion, but I do not get any pleasure in shooting and killing an animal. I do not understand the "trophy" mentality that some Americans have when killing an animal. In my experience, I have seen the "trophy" mentality mostly from city / suburban Americans who rent a cabin and a scout to kill animals and mount their heads on a wall. Most of the people I know who hunt and live in country areas are more respectful to animals and harvest what they kill. Nothing makes me more angry when I see a buck dead in the woods with only the antlers sawed off of his head. This is why I do not let people hunt on my land. |

Can’t handle cruelty to animals. Not a fan of hunting but respect people’s right to do it - so long as they are humane.

I don't allow hunting on my land, either.
Mainly, because I don't want some moron shooting at something they might 'think' is a deer, and it be me or my dog just hanging out in my woods, because we do that a lot. lol
But I'm not against hunting, I just think it should be for one of a few specific things, and no pleasure should come from it-
you need food, and you use the animal for your food.
the animal is a legitimate threat to you, or your other domesticated animals, and you need to protect yourself or your pets.
I can't stand people that are cruel to animals, and think they deserve jail time or worse. |

Hunted pheasant with our dog when I was a kid and here and there into my 30s. Have not gone in a while. We would pay for them and eat them. Pheasant is a tricky bird to get . They fly like they are drunk lol.
Been Turkey and deer hunting once. Felt like I was the turkey. Never saw one. Deer hunting I didn't like at all. Was nervous someone was going to think I was a deer and some people drink while they do it. Never saw one and never went back.
I have no problem with it if you do it safely and you use the meat.
My kids will probably never hunt. My oldest has not fired a weapon yet. I had by his age. I don't really see the need till he is at least 16.
