Proud of killing
Those three words make my blood boil.

Bloodthirsty kind of guy. Many years later, he has deer heads mounted on his wall

Stick hunters into a scenario where THEY are the ones being stalked, targeted and killed. Culling, they call it..

Hunting is cool. Hunters were respected throughout history, because they were the badasses who got meat for the group.
That's why professional athletes rub black paint under their eyes. They claim it's so the sun doesn't reflect off their skin but that's a lie.
They do that because hunters used to kill an animal, and then rub the blood under their eyes.

When it becomes your only means of survival, if you haven't practised, you won't survive.

It's really not, though
Hunting isn't necessary unless it's your only means of survival

I think very few people enjoy killing. Most hunters don't enjoy that aspect of it, but recognize it's a necessary part of the whole.

Perhaps you should work out those feelings with a licensed therapist.

Hunters do have rights. I just have a problem with someone who enjoys killing

Yes, I agree. There's nothing wrong with hunting for meat though. It's a basic human right (if human's have any rights at all).

Too much abuse is going on behind the scenes.
Definitely needs stricter management to protect animals from constantly being abused by cruel handlers who have no consideration for the suffering they inflict

As the climate change alarmists increase their attack on the consumption of meat, the number of hunters, and the justification for it, will only grow.

Wow would you stop with the crusades already. Everyone here already knows your position on these matters. No need to harp on and on. Take it to the elections if that how you really feel about things.

While I find people who go on about trying to deal with the supposed overpopulation of animals in their regions as to why they hunt to be morons, I do take issue with the obvious bias this article presents as well as its sweeping generalization of people who do hunt.
Unlike natural predators, who keep populations healthy by preying on the sickest and weakest,
Well, that's mostly true for larger animals like deer, elk, etc. But carnivorous animals don't solely go for deer. They also eat birds, rodents, other carnivores, or fish. The article seems to be focusing only on deer hunting.
One topic you won’t hear hunters discussing is how many animals they injure but fail to kill. Estimates by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, members of the Maine BowHunters Alliance and other groups put the “wound rate” for bowhunting at an astounding 50%. An article in Bowhunter Magazine admitted, “It is disquieting to know that we probably wound one deer for every animal harvested.” A piece in Western Bowhunter admonished, “Don’t talk to anyone about wounding animals, especially in public places or among non-hunters.”
Not every hunter is a bowhunter. In fact, I'm pretty sure most hunters don't hunt with a bow. The writer of this article seems to have done a bit of cherry-picking in order to come up with an argument against hunting.
Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one.

They're a pain in the butt.

Our yard is their high-traffic cut-through and feeding stop.

We have deer here, but I've only been to one place where I got to see them, on one of the islands and they are so beautiful

Fuck you for thinking and acting as if you are the only species that matters.

Of the 13 people I know who go deer hunting, 3 actually kill only one during season, dress it at the site, take it home and butcher it, keep the meat and also give some away. The others either do it for sport, or don't kill anything.
Where I live, the herds have increased year-after-year. The past two years does have given birth to twins and trips. It's rare in our area to see a doe without two. They have devastated our hydrangea, stripped the bottom trunk of any foliage on our arborvitae, have eaten all the leaves from our forsythia over and over, and are even eating the hollies (mostly the male bushes). We can only plant certain flowers. They've eaten the echinacea and shasta daisies, I haven't seen our stella d'ora day lilies in years because they chew them to the ground. I can go on and on and on. In short, they play havoc with our landscaping. One of my dopy neighbors started feeding them during the Summer. I wanted to kick him. I wish the coyotes would come back in the neighborhood and keep the deer at bey. I don't mind if they eat a few rabbits or two.
