Or kinda like killing a fawn, young deer. They know 0 about hunters.
Not the same........they are still wild born, instictual and taught by mom.......sure they are not wizards of the woods yet but it's not like they will just walk up to you and let you pet them either.
So if shooting a defenseless deer is not very sporting then shooting fawns is not very sporting. If we use the above logic.
We could play this game all day............and apply it to EVERY deer if you want to think about it that way. A deer has it's inate defenses as it's sole defense against predators.....when that inate skill is washed away by a cage or being exposed to humans every day those deer are no more a challenge to kill then a stray cat.
My yard is full of deer.........I have video footage of a 10, a 12, and a nice high racked 8 all within 15 yards of me just hoping for food.........if I walk out into my yard at night deer come running from everywhere hoping I am gonna feed them.......they watch me shoot my bow and couldn't care less.
How great would it be to shoot any of them???...........Would it be cool to have that 10,12 and high 8 on my wall and tell everyone what a great hunter I am because I could kill a helpless pet in my backyard that was hanging around my swimming pool???
C'mon man.
