Dont know.. where not talking about lassie here or leave it to beaver , are we?

Why gloss over parts? ya dont have to make it ALL about the death shot etc... but death is sure part of it .
But i dont watch vidios etc too much.

Just live life , & death is part of it.

Whats a yuppie? do they have paramilatary right wing ones lol? there woodcrafters?

Believe it or not when i first got to this place(Wy) i had to pinch myself a few times to rememeber i wasnt in california or org.

Just dont show me the plant , in Nj where they make im...but i try to avoid those to... many reasons lol


still about the outdoors i think.

I personaly think its nice when i see what some would call nothing...not a building or man for miles.

Ok...but i realy dont like math all that much.

Guns + outdoors = Guess it depends on whats in your heart & yer mission in life.Maybe even where ya live even?.

I thought yuppies drove around in porshes & bmw.s, hummers etc &drove there plastic to be recycled & belonged to peta& pta.& no meata. BUT Also? wanted to tear down the system & cause anarcy etc? or is that yippies?

maybe you mean hippies?

ya dont think hunters can respect the land& know woodlore/ craft etc ?
you sure some hyuppies girls in the forest didnt kidnapp you?

We hunters may not focus on the killing part, but people who don't hunt do. Just because it's showed briefly or ethicly by our standards doesn't mean that non hunters wouldn't still focus on it and think unhighly of it. Maybe education is what they need, but some people don't want to be educated. You can't make someone understand who doesn't want to understand.

I do think that they should show the kill shot on video. Becuase it is part of the hunt. And only hunters or outdoorsmen would be the ones to buy the videos. I'll watch a edited hunt on tv for free, but if I'm paying for it in a video I want to see the whole thing.

"Hey ya'll, watch this"

A few years back, Ted Nudgent did a hunting video whar he showed killin' a pig an' made some stupid comments after the shot. I thort it was bad taste myownself, but you can imagine what the yippie yuppie hippies thort in NYC. I think he ended up pulling thet video off the shelf, or at least apologizin'. Mass media is fine, but I prefer my huntin' lessons from some ol' graybeard thet wears a hat. Thet's what this world needs, more graybeards with hats an' fewer books an' films.

Agree to disagree.

We all want basically the same thing. That is bring hunting back what it used to be. Family and friends sharing in tradition and getting closer all the while feeding thier family and those in need. Hopefully we all can make wise decisions regarding hunting and we can show those "big city sophisticated" types that life isn't all about sports cars and stock options. I think God had something else in mind and I feel much closer to Him while hunting than I ever will in any city setting.

Just an little bit more info I thought I'd share. I typed in "anti-hunting" in a search engine and looked at some websites. The videos these people are showing are animals being run down and attacked by dogs (deer, red stags). Others had wounded animals and were laughing about it and torturing them. In fact one websites whole theme was "hunters claim they make quick ethical kills, but these videos show the truth." My thoughts were simply that ethical kill shots are not the problem, its those who are clearly in abuse that are ruining the sport and our image.

I only thought it was interesting info, but again agree to disagree.

A gentleman an' a scholar. Its a priviledge to disagree with such a feller. Even an' ol' injun like me can relate to yer spiel 'bout feeling closer to God when huntin'.

I was just watching an african safari where the took several animals antelope warthog etc. when they took the shot at the animal they either blurred the animal or showed the shooter then you see the dead animal.
this seems to be happening alot. you see less and less of the bullet/arrow hitting the animal. i dont quite understand the reasoning behind this are they trying to make hunting less bloody less violent or what??
if you shoot an animal its going to be bloody and messy if you hit it perfect. the worse the shot the bigger the mess and the more violent and less humain the kill.
so i say show how to make the perfect shot show how the animal reacts show the blood and alot of it. Its part of hunting and you cant make it go away. if i watched these hunting shows and decided to go out hunting and shot a deer i wouldnt know what to do after i pulled the trigger.
give me your opinion show it/dont show it and why??
thanks in adv.

This has bugged me too. I also find it funny every once in awhile when they show a hunter make the kill, take off to go get it, and you notice that when they get there, the throat has already been cut!

just my opinion but i think it bothers many when it takes the animal a while to die.some have required several shots. also some of the animals lay on the ground kicking. as a hunter it still bothers me but i let it pass.nothing bothers me more than not to make a clean shot or when the animals takes a long time to die. i practice alot with hopes my shots will be clean ones.
