After reading that dumb regulations threadI am confused as to why some of you even hunt. Some of you guys are limited to one deer. If that's not enough, some retarded states won't even let you hunt on a Sunday. [&:]
If my state were anything like that I wouldstart hunting in another state. I mean, how can 1 deer only rulekeep you engaged in a hobby? Literally, you guys might only hunt 1 day out of the year i.e. first day kill a buck or doe and then you're done.[:'(]
Not to brag, but inmy state (Oklahoma)we can bowhunt for105 days (No Sunday rule LMAO) take 2 bucks and 4 does. I guess my question is why do you even bother if you can only take one deer and have restricted days of the week? All of that money, time, gear etc.. for one deer.[&:]
Not to mention, we have a 16 day gun season and a decent blackpowder season too.
"Why do some of you even hunt?"
Because some of us get it!
I get it, you will allude to the fact that it's just be out there. I understand that, I really do. However, why not take up hiking or camping? As a true hunter your goal has to be to take an animal, or at least to have a solid opportunity to do so.
I compare it to fishing. As a fisherman I want the chance to at least get a bite versus just dangling my line in a pond with no fish. Part of it's being outdoors, but the other part is having ample chances to catch something too.
I enjoy being outdoors also, but as a hunter I want the opportunity to get something. I think a lot of guys might be lying to some degree if they say it's not about getting something. We all want to get something or we wouldn't be out there.
Oh well, if you're content with the constraints your state has placed on you who am I to argue? However, as a true hunter I'm glad I don't have to face that garbage.
