i love bow errythang. meaning, i love bowfishing and hunting. deer meat, and dove are delicious. fish, meh. none the less it's all good dude. also you don't have to be a redneck to hunt, just know one!
Although I don't defend hunters OR Vick, your comparison is a tad extreme. The hunters, at least, give the animals a humane death and don't torture them, in my opinion. Why did we have to bring that criminal in here?
Yeah having a bullet lodged somewhere in your body is not painful Your assumption they all die instantly is obviously naive.
There are just way too many p*****s on this board. Quail and pheasant hunting is my favorite thing in the world next to sex. You don't have to be quiet, you follow the dogs, and when it is all over you have a huge quail feast at the end of the day. This is definitely not a redneck sport. Any property that has a quail on it now is super expensive along with the cost the dogs' upkeep and training. If there is one kind of gentleman sport, it is quail hunting or any kind of upland bird hunting. I dove hunt, deer hunt, and rabbit hunt as well. Deer hunting is a great conservationist activity. In Cuero/Yoakum over the last 15 years they had all the hunters buy into a game biologist's conservation measures. They are producing some of the biggest bucks in Texas now.
Hunting is great. I grew up doing it and loved it (mostly duck/quail). One of my better childhood memories. As long as it's legal, I have no qualms about it, especially in Texas where the gaming laws are reasonable and well-enforced. If I still lived in Texas I'd be doing it. I'd probably be one of those nuts that makes his own venison sausage.
I am not assuming "all die instantly" but, obviously, the inhumane hunters that do that are the ones doing it for sport or "fun" and not for food. Come on, now. Vick was a convicted criminal and it was proven he was not one of the "nicer" dogfighting ring peeps... so that's why I am standing by what I said that the comparison was extreme.

Funny, more and more lately, they've been advertising/promoting hunting with hot chicks as hunters...
I've never hunted in my life, and some of my best friends are big hunters. As long as you eat what you kill, I dont have a problem w it. I mean, I think you're a p***y if you sit around a deer feeder with a gun and wait for them to come. A real man would hunt, not sit and wait. I'm not a fan of people who hunt a specific animal as a trophy. A friend's parent went hunting in Africa for a Leapord and a Lion (as well as many other creatures). He has those 2 big cats stuffed, one in his house one in his office. I think your balls gotta be pretty small to do that.
Do you stalk your chicken at the grocery store? Or do you think just putting it in the basket is easier? Deer are very smart and will not be around if you're "hunting."
Never hunted myself. But I never saw how anyone could get a thrill popping a squat in front of a feeder and waiting for a deer to walk into their bullets. Doesn't seem like real hunting to me. People hunting with giant scopes and whatnot also seems pretty lame to me Something like bird hunting looks like it takes a lot more skill. Or even actual hunting of deer, not sitting around and waiting for them. I would like to do either of those one day. But the way some people hunt just seems boring and easy to me.
