30 Days to Deermageddon

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

So you opened another topic about this... I used to play Deer Hunter 2005 and are you saying real deer hunting is not like that - that you go into the woods and shoot a deer?

Not me.

I go out, walk up two flights of stairs - take off my boots, light a fire, start a pot, then turn on the TV and watch the news whilst having my morning coffee and a doughnut or two.

When it gets light - I open up the blackout curtains and wait for the deer to come get breakfast.

Then I shoot them. 

Any moron can go out in the woods and be miserable.

So, it's not really 'hunting', is it?  More like 'target practice'.

'It is a form of cognitive dissonance to boast about your "hunting" skills when you use a high-powered rifle to shoot a small herbivore that's 500 yards away and doesn't know you're there.  Because you're hiding from it.' - Brian 'Sodding' Boru

The point of shooting deer is to get food. It's not for "sport" - whatever that is.

Making a clean kill and "giving the deer a sporting chance" are diametrically opposed ideas.

You do absolutely everything you can do to drop a deer in it's tracks - or you just close your eyes and start yanking the trigger.

I prefer a effective approach. I don't want to inflict unneccessary suffering - and I hate tracking....

Killing for sport is a pathology. We got a few such nutters on the boats, but they weren't team players and often were medal hunters as well. We packed them off if they survived long enough to be obvious.

I got up 15 minutes after the SO had headed to work - and looked out the living room window...

A doe and two fawns under the yard light -not 100 ft from the house - browsing through the remains of the garden... About all that's left is carrots and squash.

I guess they get sick of soybeans and corn - and like some light for seeing their breakfast.

Brazen little bastards.
