What's your point?? I don't kill them. I have deer, turkey, rabbits, squirrels, hawks, and bats all over my yard........I do my best to help them survive with what little habitat our sprawl has left them with........and we have some laughs along the way. What don't I "get"???
You go on and on about how wrong it is to have fenced in deer that get harvested by paid hunts, which I dont agree with myself, and wouldnt pay to do it either, but you are feeding deer in your yard illegally in NY and seem to overlook that point, plus you are changing deers natural inate feeding habits, and, you said they are in your yard watching you while you shoot your bowwhich seems to me that you are makingwild deermore tame or feel safe around humans and ruining their so called natural inate defense more than anything else. But it is okay to go somewhere else and kill deer which is fine as long as they arent deer that are coming into your yard and being fed by you? You say you are helping the animals survive in an area that you said naturally cant support the popualtion with little habitat and sprawl in/around your property. Seems kind of stupid not to take advantage of harvesting deer that are on your property when you know which ones would be good to harvestwhen you know their feeding habits, bedding habits and to get the population down to where it would survive naturally. Thats sad, or idiotic.
Obviously you don't know what the definition of hypocrit is then.
What I just quoted and posted in the paragraph aboveto me is a hypocrit.
Yea.......I bet the deer is very grateful that he did him that favor
so you would ratherthe deer possibly starve a horrible death because he hasnt lived and fed in the wild before especially in winter when food is scarce??
Do you feel proud of yourself as a hunter when you kill the cow??
Has nothing to do with being a hunter or feeling proud for killing cows.And I dont kill or raise cows. Steers are raised for beef, chickens are raised for eggs and meatto sell and feed humans like they have for hundreds, even thousands of years all over the world, something I guess you dont understand or cant comprehend. I have chickens I show that I am proud of, kids and adults enjoy the birds that I bring to fairs and 4H events, brown leghorns, and red and silver dorkings that I dont kill, I get eggs from them and enjoy raising and breeding them as do children that come to see the birds, collect eggs and help take care of them. I raise cornish birds for meat which is what the breed is for. None of my animals are raised in cages, they can go inside or roam outside areas as they choose.
Nope..........though not really a fair comparison seeing how I have never shot a caged pet.
I dont see where this even comes into play as Ive said numerous times in this useless discussion with you. The person didnt know it was previously caged so how is this a comparison on shooting cages pets?
