Are they here? (peta)
 

How many of you think that PETA surfs this sight and sights like itfishing for info and what not? This year was the first time I have ever run into these people that actually showed up ata bird hunting destination just in my opinion to annoy the bag out of hunters. Anybody else run into this?

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

It is against the law in Texas toharass a hunter. If they show up to give me a hard time I will call the law in a heartbeat. I will also have the camera out taking photos of faces and license plates. I am sure they visit this and other sites. i know some guys here that visit peta, hsus sites too. kinda keeping an eye on the enemy.

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

We leave the alone, but they ALWAYS seem to attack us, it is unjust and unfair, I wish we had the right to call the law on people who verbally abuse us here in IL. I have not had it happen, but I know there will be a day when I am going to snap on someone, considering hunting is something that I live by...

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

deerslayer you are young, no need to snap.

PETA did a protest at KFC here last year. I bought them some chicken, and Sat out in front and ate it with them(in front of them) and wavied to the crowd. Showed folks what a joke they are, I got more thumbs up then they did[8D] Yes they called me every name in the book, I just smile and enjoyed my finger licking good chicken!!

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

The easiest way to do that is to sign up for their email lists. I get them from HSUS all the time since they've been the most active in my area.

DeerSlayer-I live in IL too. We do have hunter harassment laws. Unfortunatly even if you get one of them in trouble it is like adding fuel to thier fire. I think getting ticketed and arrested may be a goal of theirs.

Once, I was in Farm n Fleet right around gun season, and there was a group of anti's.They bought every box of slugs they had on the shelf.I laughed at them so hardI almost cried. Considering money from their purchase went towards preserving hunting land for our future.... and a few hours later there is a whole new load of slugs on the shelf.

If theyre here I bet theyre offended by my screenname

You guys will appreciate this: The Campus Vegans used to protest beef farming with an on campus "Hunger Strike"about once a month, and assemble on Old Main lawn with signs and bullhorns, the whole nine yards... Well, myself and a few enterprising fraternity brothers took it upon ourselves to attend their protests and "Protest the Protest" with steak hoagies, dripping with grease and cheese,and sit on the steps chowing down while they all stared razor blades at us. One thing about the vegan chicks - there were some hotties, but we never had much luck with 'em due to the political divide. They were nice to look at anyway.

It's one thing to be a vegan and be selective in what you eat. That's your own choice, your own prerogative, and I couldn't give a hoot. I eat a boca burger now and then, it's no big deal. Besides, Americans could stand to be a little more health conscious anyway. But, it's a completely different thing to actively try to recruit others to boycott meat andhelp put honest farmers out of business. I think Oprah tried that once... and we all know what I think about Oprah.

I'd hate to think what would happen if they ever showed up and harrassed the group I hunt with. Heck we knock the crap out of each other after a few beers. My one bud we call Crazy Keith would go insane. You can look at him wrong and he's ready to fight.

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

They are absolutely here. I've been misquoted from my Recovery thread pinned at the top of the page on a page I found. I did a search on Yahoo on my name looking for a particular article and I found the misquote because my name was attached to it.

Just like we float to theirs, don't think they are not here. We had to remove many over the years because they can't educationally debate their view. I would welcome a friendly debate but with them, there is no friendly debate, they have one agenda and are blind to reality.

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

MO, as much fun as that would be, that's what they want, you'd be playing into their hands and they would win behind the law. Keep your calm and baffle them with brilliance, I have faith in you that way.

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

I love animals......their delicious.

I do like soy burgers once in a while but of course I top them off with some greasy old bacon.I guess they have a right to their freedom of speech just not when they are talking to me.

You know I’ve been given a hard time about, well, giving people a hard time when it comes to the “shot one, now what” threads. That is the reason why I’m pretty sure they are here, and not just surfing and reading. It is my opinion that they could and probably do act as hunters and make claims and statements that hurt our cause. I could be wrong and I’ve been told I’m paranoid, (just today actually in the “general” hunting area. Real great posts going on over there) but think about it. Getting us to argue, point our each others faults, turn against each other and use our words against us, is the plan. And it looks like it would probably be pretty easy to execute.
If we all (especially me) kept a low profile, meaning only conversing on the educational side of things, practice what we preach and educate ourselves, there would be no need for some of the threads that can only do more harm than good, and it would probably be pretty easy at that point to recognize an imposter.

I’ve said it before, and I’ve taken grief for it, but the PC will not help you find a deer you’ve shot. This should be something that has been studied long before taking up the hunt.

There is no void. However, it is possible for a deer to live after being shot. Unlikely, but it does happen. Think about how stupid we sound talking about a void and then just shaking it off, go on back to hunting, I’m sure that animal will be okay, since I hit the “void” and all.

Best thing is probably don’t respond to those threads. (this is where I need to practice what I preach)

However, there are so many here… Hunters… Threads… And so on….

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

me and my hunting group gets hurassed all the time, we just call the cops and they take care of it:D;)

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

I think they are in denial anyways so why not.:D

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

well i personally hate PETA and all those groups but all animals still have a place in my house.......right next to the potatoes and gravy:D

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

Last Friday i went out to dinner at some mexican place. The lady at the table next to me was talking about PETA and horror stories about hunters and wounded animals. This went on for about 15 minutes and I just couldn't take it anymore. I calmly asked her So what have you done to help out these poor animals. She didn't get the question. So I asked her if she has done anything to help out wildlife. She asked me what I was getting at.

So I told her theGroup that I'am a part of Puts millions of dollars a year into better habitat, we have feeding programs, and we plant acres of food for wildlife. She said that sounds wonderful what is the name of your group. I said I am a Hunter.(her jaw dropped).

Than I told her who really does more for the animals Hunters or Peta? and thats where I left it. But she did have this dumb founded look on her face.

Point of the story is don't get mad at these dumba$$'s just put them in their place. If they can't understand logic then you can't argue with them anyway's.

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

I gotta a good story about PETA. I wish I knew where the video was.

Anyways, PETA was protesting some duck hunters on a river when they forgot to put the plug in their John Boat. The other PETAPoopers were ina coupleof other boats just watchingas their cronie friendssank. Guess who came to the rescue..........? Yep, you guessed it, the duck hunters shortly thereafter went over and fished'em out and even gave up there jackets to'em.Game Wardens show upand hooks up all the protesters.Man, I tell you the video was hilarious because you can hear all the Tree Huggers inthe background yellingat the hunters to do something when they (Tree Huggers)don't even motor over to lift a hand.Like it was the duck hunters fault they forgot to put the plug in the boat. When the chips are on the table PETA has no backbone and will fold everytime.

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

Wow, what timing this thread had!

Have you seen the crap in the general hunting forum?

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

Did you hear about when PETA stormed a mink fur plant in Canada I think i might be getting my facts wrong but i know when they let all the animals out they just went a few hundred feet and died because it was so cold these people do not know what they are doing.

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

I belong to people eating tasty animals (PETA)

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

somebody should put that video of Pen and Teller proving all the bad PETA does.

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

i know of a very old lady who tresspasses all the time and get by with it because of her age . not a big deal but she soaps trees about every 20 yrd for a hour or 2 and repeats this 2 or 3 times a week in dif. locations.
to me this is very wrong and if it is true about repelling game "soap" she is hurting the eco system and hunters rights

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

Yes, PETA does surf this sight. That's why it would be a good idea to be aware of what "we" post. No need insupplying them with something they can use against us.

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

I remember a post on here before that was from a PETA site, it was about a hunter who was killed tragectly after falling from a deer stand, on the site these people were laughing about it, and saying things like " great one less killer in the world" its just wrong that another person could be happy about that! It's just terrible. Hunting isn't just a sport for fun, it also is a animal population management, otherwise people would end up hitting more with cars, and alot more dying of starvation. I just don't know how you can get it through to people though.

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

Opening weekend we had at least 4 cars go around are entire area and blast their horns. Then later on in the day we had another car go my screaching his tires every 100ft. Since I wasn't far off the road, I just waved to them. Come on peta, do you really think doing that will scare deer out of the area. Answer this, do deer get off the road when you blast your horn? No exactly so what do you think your doing???

Just another case of those people not thinking.

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

It is illegal to harrass hunters in NY.. I found this out from a neighbor of mine which happens to be a NYS trooper

RE: Are they here? (peta)
 

back in the late nineties my brother built a website called P.E.T.A(People Eating Tasty Animals...) Didn't take long before PETA started with the legal assault...

I have a shirt that says "There's plenty of room for all God's creatures... next to the potatoes and gravy..." I wear it as much as I can... I laugh at the expressions I get... And a time or two it's been a ice-breaker with people who don't hunt and who might otherwise become anti's... Especially those at church. Alot of the folks there hunt, but most don't as we're in the suburbs of houston. People get real squirrely when I present scripture to back it up. (like the quote in my sig)
