I think your missing the point here buddy. I actually do enjoy eating squirrels and have been know to shoot them myself. What i don't like is when dumb rednecks go out and kill things for the sake of killing, and just leave the animals to rot away in the woods. If you guy's are worried about over population, then why don't you start killing off people? There is this land owner next to my woods that is constantly running farm equipment, and at times i cannot hear the deer coming.

It appears obviously you don't understand the point of hunting at all.

They were in season and it don't get much better than squirrel pot pie!!!!
I've met some of these guys. Rednecks? Well duh!...lol Aren't we all (to differing degrees)? I mean.....we DO wear camo and sit in trees for hours on end, every year.
Looks like fun. I'm gonna goose hunt with my bow, this fall. If I'm lucky enough to connect....you can bet your ass I'll post up the carnage.
Keep on keepin' on, boys.

I will sometimes kill squirrels and use them as bait to hunt fox. Put one on the mulch pile by the woods every other evening and then, after a few evenings of that, set up and wait for the fox to come looking for dinner. I don't eat the fox either.

That's fine and dandy, since you are giving the squirrel a purpose. I think too many hunters today have lost the appreciation and sense of sacredness for the animal. Too many ego driven and insecure billy bob's out there trying to showcase their manlyness.

Dstubb I completety agree with you there should definitetly be an appreciation for all creatures! From the stalk and hunt, to the harvest, to the dinner plate!! Sad but true their are guys out there that give the sport we love a bad reputation by mowing down the first thing they see. Or killing as many as they can all for bragging rights. I don't agree with it and I'm sure not to many people here do either. It just seemed like you were quick to judge based off a few minutes of a video....thats all.... Just my two cents

Where in the world are you getting they didn't eat what they killed?
I've caught an assload of menhaden and fed (attempted to) them to other critters (kings). In the overall scheme of things.....this is what Bruce is doing. Is that unethical?
