This statement is hypocritical. You can't state that it's OK to shoot an animal that you don't intend to eat and then say it's wrong to not eat what you shoot. That's basically how I read this statement.
Nothing hypocritcal about it.
There are reasons animals are killed and not eaten...........nuisance, damage, disease, safety, and some are just plain not edible.
We are not talking about killing some yotes that are out of control and killing everything in town at night............nor are we talking about shooting some woodchucks so the farmers cattle won't break their legs in the holes.
We are talking about killing a perfectly edible free roaming deer under normal circumstances. In that case why kill it if you are not gonna eat it? Pretty simple.
Even deer have been killed in piles during pop. crisis or CWD scares etc.........those are all special situations that don't apply here.
Also, I think the "bashing" that is percieved in your posts comes from your attitude that non-doe hunters are selfish and unwilling to share the oh so cumbersome burden of shooting does. I hardy think doe hunters feel inconvenienced by the "obligation" to shoot doe(s). They do it because they enjoy the hunt and the meat. I don't enjoy the meat, so why should I shoot a doe when it brings me little satisfaction?
For the last time that is only my opinion/interpretation of the so called "bashing". Someone posted that they couldn't understand why someone would "bash" a non doe shooter. I gave my theory on why they would. I understand why they would and I also understand why some people would not agree with what I do. Never said one group was right or one was wrong..............just that I can see how disagreements come about.
You guys really need to start READING what someone types BEFORE spouting off.
If you are gonna respond with such vigor..........you really should make sure you know what is being said.........and by whom.
