Amen brother sat in the pit last weekend for opening day with my father and two of my best friends and two gentlemen I really didnt know and left that night with two more close friends nothing brings people together like a good hunt... we only shot 6 birds between all of us but its not about shooting limits i've learned its about the memories you make with your fellow waterfowlers that mean the most

@radiolaugh If he is not a vegetarian then he would have to kill animals to survive, unless he buys that antibio, steoriod, salt water pumped meat from animals who barely got to adulthood, which besides that also taste like crap. So yes he like other hunters like myself, need to hunt if he wants food. and it being fun is just a bonus.

@radiolaugh So your argument is that people don't have to eat to survive? That's what I'm getting. If you want to eat meat you have to kill animals to do that, that's how it works. If you don't want to eat meat you still have to kill plants and/or fungus to eat. Some people choose to draw the line between ok and not ok between wild animals and domesticated, plants and animals, fish and birds, or animals and animal products. I draw it between human and animals that have healthy populations.

@gboyd242 so your asking me why is it bad to partly kill for fun?.....is that one of your questions?......and if your eating to survive thats different from eating for fun and for taste.....you dont have to kill animals to survivie or to it for fun...

[gboyd242]

@radiolaugh I don't understand how so many people just have the "out of sight, out of mind" attitude. You know the chickens and cows don't commit suicide to end up in the grocery stores right? If I choose to kill my own food instead of paying someone else to do my dirty work how is that morally different? Also why do you think that it being fun is a bad thing, food needs to be collected, what difference does it make if it's fun or not fun?

[radiolaugh]

@gboyd242 Your killing animals...for fun.....what exactly do I have to explain.....eating to survive is different....from eating....cus u the meat and its fun then.....

[gboyd242]

@radiolaugh No matter what you eat, you killed it. Why shouldn't it be fun?

[radiolaugh]
