Location: south east Michigan | Myself, I don't hunt but I think everyone else at work does. A couple of them have properties up by Fletchers Pond. Over the past 4 years they have organized a large area of surrounding neighbors to agree on what to shoot and what to leave be. Everyone has stayed with the program and they are all now benifiting from it.
My oldest son is going up near Mio over Thanksgiving. |

That's what grocery stores are for.
The real ironic and annoying way to sign your name for this thread would be to list the fire-arms you own.

Location: ranson,wva | its a way of life where i grew up at in the backwoods of west virginia in a town of under 400 people,the nearst town with a grocery store was 45miles away and in the winter it could be weeks before you could get out of the hollow...so if you didnt hunt you didnt eat bottom line....plus i enjoy it to a extent. there is a certain thrill looking thru a scope on my m14 at 500-700yrds seeing a object the size of milkjug and squeezwing the trigger...jason |

I love it that drug companies can experiment on animals before they experiment on me. If I did hunt, I'd make it my goal to bag a spotted owl. Hug this ...

Deer and elk season is like a state holiday around here. |

Location: SE Michigan | I used to hunt but havn't done so in years. I also really don't mind if others hunt.
But I do think in the interest of leveling the playing field a bit, I would propose the following changes to our (Michigan) November Deer season:
"Hunters are allowed to bag as many deer as they care to kill, however, they must live full time in the woods and may bring with them only a loin cloth and a spear". |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I hate the rifle season because of all the wackos running around in the woods with guns (many from down state, who don't have a clue where they are or where they're going). I therefor hunt with a bow in the early season. It's a lot more challenging, but also more rewarding. Don't get me wrong though ... I think everyone should own as many guns as they can, and know how to shoot them accurately. That's one of the best deterrents we have in this country. :) |

I DO believe that gun control means being able to hit what you're aiming at; but gave up hunting because venison gives me gas that even I can't stand. |

bvince, have not shot anything with the rifle yet, however, have gotten some great video of some good bucks.
Best of luck to all who do hunt. Enjoy your time afield.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | My Mom lives in Holladay TN. Farms and Woods. The deer would hide on our property, cuz we wouldn't allow anyone to hunt on our little patch of paradise. We put out a salt/vitamin block for them, scraps, we got pears and apples. We didn't hunt, but we eat venison. Our logic is; the deer feel safe on our land, teach their yunguns the same thing. If we ever get real desperate, Bambi is Dinner! Don't care what season it is, it's my property... it's my deer!
Brian-- Ted Nugent would agree.
Fortunately, we have been poor, but never that poor.
Oh, Enfant-- You ever been to a nude beach? It is not as nice as you might think! |

Two of the resident does on our property outside of Houston. The one on the left is pregnant in this photo and the one on the right is her previous year's fawn.
About a month later I came across her newborn and it survived the foxes and coyotes and is currently quite large and wondering why her mother is now being chased all around by the bucks.
I only ever shoot them with cameras, but I do like to hunt cottonmouths and copperheads, which we have plenty of also. |

It was taken with a 300mm telephoto so I wasn't any closer than about 150ft. They are pretty tolerant about being approached, up to a point. We have a small pond nestled between two wooded areas, and they often come up to the otherside to drink while I'm fishing in the evenings. Here's an 8 pointer. This is a frame grab from a video camera, so the quality is not as good.

We don't do hunting here on the Isle of Man. It's a gun thing, apparently. Although some guys on horses did have a drag hunt the other week (like a foxhunt, but instead of a fox, the hounds follow the scent of a 'previous' animal that has been dragged along a course...

Drinking while fishing is FAR more acceptable than when guns are involved.
BTW. This 'cuda was released.

This is from about 30 years ago, my Dad with a 51 lb. king.

I made more trips to slaughterhouses, than going on hunting trips. I'm not a vegetarian ... in fact, I love ribeye steaks for dinner with a passion! I'm not against the killing of animals for food, as long as it is done as humanely as possible. Just IMO... |
