[Zmerica19]

deer season is approaching quickly (depending where you live). today was opening day of bow in western ny. so anyways... if you are a hunter and have a nice trophy or get one this year post them here! any animals that you were thrilled to humanely take down i would enjoy seeing

[Kiwingenuity]

Just early spring here.. won't be off for a hunt until usually late March over this side of the world... may have to dig out some photos tonight.

Best of luck to anyone getting out and about - and look out for any muppets / numptys who may mistake you for a 4 legged critter somehow...

I personally do not hunt but unfortunately, hunting is a big thing here. Almost everything is hunted at some time throughout the year. Bear, hogs, deer, quail, ect

[yamahonkawazuki]

Thats all good and well but we dont need to see the fricken photos on a motorcycle forum?
Go post your gory pics on an appropriate hunting forum where you can all jack off together?

Lighten up Francis.  I like hunting (and have and still do), and though a photo of a freshly killed Elk or deer may shock those that don't hunt, it does happen, and humans have done it for the better part of 50,000 years (Cro-Magnon) and probably way more. 

There is some benefit through wildlife management using hunters.  And don't think it's just spray and pray out there.  Most of us work hard to get a clean shot that drops the animal quickly and keeps the meat in tact.  We also don't let the animal writhe in pain, we put them down quickly.

Coda, your overreaction is a bit of a surprise to me.

Hey, Cods -  - ease up on a tradition, custom and lifestyle you guys don't have down there, do or understand.

Hunting is an integral part of American history and life.

Our hunting laws and regulations insure healthy, sustainable herds of deer and other animals. When hunting is not allowed, there are no predators, so there is overpopulation. Herds suffer starvation during the winter.

In a couple communities that do not allow hunting deer, they are overrun with deer in everyone's yard causing destruction and unhealthy suffering and injury to the deer, people, property and pets.

The fact that we have annual hunting seasons and there are animals to hunt shows our rules, regulations and limits on hunting have worked for hundreds of years to insure healthy populations.

People do not hunt for "fun" to just go and kill and leave them there to rot (like poachers in Africa that kill rhinos just for the horn). People hunt and eat what they shoot. They share the food. Many hunters donate meat to food banks and shelters.

Without hunters to shoot and eat animals, they would go to waste dying on mountains and rotting in the wild from over population and starvation.


(And if you don't line hunting or having it in a main forum, then lighten up and maybe John can put it in the tard farm where anything goes. I'm looking forward to hunting next year after I become a better marksman. I only went hunting once as a chile and bagged a pheasant. Tasty! I still have the wings as a memento to the one time I went hunting with my father.)

The world is not perfect. Unfortunately, these days with the media and hype, people expect it to be perfect. That's why everything has warning labels - stupid people that can't take responsibility for their actions.

I see two scenarios:
1. "Oh, that poor animal got shot! We must do something like ban guns and hunting"
2. "Oh my, my child was just chased by a wild (deer, fox, wolf, bear, or ?). We must do something. Why don't we hunt them so they are not a threat to my children"

Both sides happen. Sometimes an animal isn't killed right away. Sometimes the wrong thing can be shot. On the other side, what are the consequences of uncontrolled wildlife running through our neighborhoods?

Just as motorcycle riding has certain, accepted risks and dangers, so does hunting and the lack of hunting.

We just have to work together to manage the risks and consequences.

Hunting has risks. NO HUNTING also has risks of population explosions of wildlife and the resulting risks to human life and the overpopulation consequences of animals dying in the wild from lack of food, getting hit by cars (oh, we must prohibit cars then?), running into us when we are riding our bikes (there are videos of that) and ?

Dont need to see DEAD ANIMALS on a MOTORCYCLE FORUM.

That I can agree with.

Must not be tempted...  I can barely stop myself from posting road kill...  This is as bad as having a naked supermodel begging for sex just after you had to have your pee pee removed.

Don't worry guys we hunt down here but mainly more for feral animal control than for trophy or food. But we do eat what we kill. I would love to stalk out a deer one day and try it. Even freshly killed kangaroo.
