Sometimes I dont get hunters...

Well sometimes I sit out in my back yard at night and use a telescope in cold weather for hours.

Some would call the crazy too but at least it aint raining

Gimme cold weather over heat anyday. Sure, it's harder to get going, but it's a lot easier to warm up than it is cool down

We sure are opposites on that one.
C'mon summer.

I can see how people get a thrill from the hunt, stalking prey and such, I quite enjoy stalking players in online games, lining up for the shot and them not knowing what hit them. Of course, the best thing for humans is that animals don't shoot back...

I don't get hunting really either, not on live targets, and yeah, I heard exactly the same thing in pretty much the same condictions this morning. I've even heard them popping away over on the marshes in the pouring rain with a strong wind...I mean...what the heck could they hit in that?

I have nothing against hunters either but I have to laugh when I watch a hunting show for a few minutes. There is the hunter in a blind. Camo on. Deer scent. Salt licks. Rattle the plastic antlers. Next thing you know here comes a buck. In a hush hush voice the hunter prepares. Under his breath..."What a beautiful animal. I have never seen such a magnificent 13 point buck!" "A creature like this is once in a life time." Then...KA-POW...dead magnificent beautiful once in a life time dead 13 point buck.

I just find that strange. Let the thing go and pick up a steak at the market.

Ja, that is strange. And it can realy piss me off to find a headless carcass.
Thankfuly, that's a minority.

Poachers are not good either. A few states have the mechanical deer and moose. They catch quite a few poachers poaching the animated deer.

I mean really, the reason hunting happens is it keeps the population in check. No need to be poaching.

When I first moved to Utah I fell in love with the winters, since I had never lived through one before. Now I've reached an age where I still like them, but my joints sure don't. Nothing I love more than to lie in the sun in mid-July.
