Where I'm from the pigs are destroying the environment. It is better that they rot
People don't eat Coyotes, but folks hunt/kill them all the time.
People don't eat Lions, or Elephants, or other 'trophy' game, either. Lots of folks hunt and kill things they don't 'really' eat....and we all know that.
I think deer are cute, and I also think they are tasty. I've no problem hunting and eating them, but everyone draws their own personal line in the sand.
I have SERIOUS problem with people hunting feral hogs, and leaving all that absolutely tasty pork to rot in a field somewhere....that's just a level of stupidity I can't respect. It's unethical.
Few things about that - the adults aren't that great to eat. Very lean, very gamey. On top of that, unlike Europe, it's often not legal to sell game in the US. It wasn't where I grew up. So mostly people hunted what they could eat or give away, but farmers shot pigs destroying their crops and left them to rot, and I think that's fine.I know what feral hogs are doing - but we have people starving in this country. Free pork is free....and my freezer and grill would welcome several pounds of it.
I never understood the distaste some have wirth dressing game or fish. It's not a big deal to me at all. When I'm in the middle of field dressing a deer or rabbit or whatever......I'm just thinking about the meals it's going to make. And for those of you who have never done it.....trust me....it really is not a big deal
I have to admit, sometimes I look at a piece of meat and think "I'm eating rotting animal carcass". Then it's delicious and I don't careIn fairness my wife doesn't like prepping raw meat either....
When I was a kid I disliked dealing with raw meat because I just didn't understand it or it's texture. Now that I can think of it in terms of the corresponding part of an animal it's not weird. Maybe some day I will get the pleasure of dressing an animal I hunted.

The left doesn't partake in rational thought. Once again they show their "Tolerance".

This!so i see you have no friends who were farmers and lost a $20K crop due to the destruction those hogs did!
I love that one!hunter: I like to use a bow, it more sporting.
Anti: what kind of weapon is the deer carrying.
hunter: same as the cow
OK, I stole this from an episode of Law and Order (hunter=detective, anti=LT).
Where I grew up people still hunt pigs with dogs, the dogs pin the pig and the hunter finishes it off with a knife, spear, or pistol. It's a pretty "natural" way to hunt, but liberals don't like the brutality to the pig and the dogs. The dogs do get injured occasionally, but they absolutely love it. If the dogs had a choice, they would choose to hunt - is that really animal cruelty?hunter: I like to use a bow, it more sporting.

... They’re animals. Whatever. Cow, hog, dog, bird, lunch. ...
She's a lawyer. With a gun (guns?).
'Nuff said.
Not quite enough.
As an apparently successful lawyer, odds are she has money.
So: Lawyers, guns and money.

This!
Same with pocket gopher hunting and ground squirrels out west. They make holes in the ground and livestock fall and break legs before they reach mature slaughtering age. Costs the ranchers big $. They shoot em and leave em. I'm ok with that type of varmint hunting.
Perfect reason for a rancher to have a 17hmr rifle and thin those things out.
51 posts and no "definitely not guilty post", man you guys are slipping!! Hottie who hunts and (probably) has money, sign me up!! ...
Is she single?Not quite enough.

Ah I have two examples that really disagree with that statement but f*** opening that box of bullshitHunting, by-and-large, is losing popularity with the general public. Considering how disconnected Society is from nature in-general, I don't know how this could have gone any-other way.
If you engage Social Media with something controversial and/or unpopular, teenagers with access to a computer and no filtering are going to post some awful things.
Is this a surprise for some people here?
The shit has hit the fan.Not quite enough.
