RE: I don't like hunting
Thanks for all your help thus far everyone. But I do have some comments/replies to make.
First off: I'm a girl.
Second: While disliking hunters, I respect those who do make clean kills and actually use all or most of the animal...I can understand not using the eyes to make soup though. My grandpa takes a deer a year, and my grandma cooks ALL of it, every single thing is used...it's almost scary to go into the kitchen after grandpa's shot his deer.
To ticklemypickle: That's sick man, I agree with the real hunters on this one.
To Deerslayer_37: I'll give you the rundown of what happens when I do get a peice of meat in my system (it sometimes happens, at resteraunts usually, peices of meatballs, chicken stock instead of veggie stock, ect.), when meat gets in me, I PUKE, I throw up violently, I've blacked out on the bathroom floor, my stomach can't handle meat, so it thinks it's bad and wants it out of my system, quickest way to do that is back up.
To moosehornhunter: Thanks for the suggestions, I'm putting cracked corn out right now, but the squirrels and chipmunks like to eat most of it.
To Alstian: I'll look around Gander Mountain next time I'm nearby and look for some cheap coyote callers. And I thank you for trying to take clean shots.
To Rebel Hog: An Animal Protection Group? I've looked at PETA.org a couple times, and I'm with the Human Society, in fact, I help out at the local animal shelter during the summer. I'm well aware that probably all the people posting are meat-eaters, but I didn't come to agrue about that.
Also, about being a veggie: I do eat other things like bread and fruit. I also eat cheese (you don't have to kill the cow) and eggs (you don't have to kill the chicken). I buy UNFERTILIZED eggs, that means there's no baby chicken in there. One time we did get a fertilized egg, we had scrambled eggs for breakfast, cracked open that egg and PLOP! out came a half-formed chicken.
Thanks to everyone else who posted, please continue, I'm getting more and more ideas.

RE: I don't like hunting
Veg is with the Humane Society and has checked with Peta.Org a couple
of times.
Ticklemypickle, watch your commets about how and what you do.
I think she should be in another part of the forum and not in Game
Hunting, IMHO.

RE: I don't like hunting
Veg, I feel you have been honest and so shall I....so, welcome, my feeling is that you were fair with your first post and asked an honest question. My thanks to many of our members that have answered your question honestly, frankly and in a mature and civil manner. Kudos to you all....and Kudos to Veg for having the guts to speak IMO.
Who knows Veg you may learn that many of us are just honest , down home, sit around the fire kind of people that have smarts, love and nurture nature and yet hunt. Yes, we may take a life quickly and cleanly but it gives us sustinance. We are stewards of this great land we live in and of its resources. Who knows you might even learn something contrary to what you "thought" to be the typical stereotype hunters. Just a thought....
But I come here in peace. I didn't come here to yell at you guys (and gals) for hunting. I don't like it, I don't eat meat (please don't bug me on this, it was my choice and I'm not going to change my mind)...however, I can't really stop everyone from hunting, so I'll just ask you all real nicely to please try and make it a clean kill, don't let the animal suffer and track down your wounded animals.
Besides that, I came here with a question about deer, seemed logical to come to a hunting site. Anyways, I live in Michigan, have a pretty big back yard, about 1/3 meadow and 2/3 woods. My house is on a hill overlooking our pool and property that banks the river. I enjoy watching the many animals that come by and also enjoy listening to the coyotes howling before I go to sleep (while dreaded school the next day), but I would like to get more deer in my backyard. I haven't seen any for awhile, we used to have two or three does that would come by every so often...but not anymore. We did have a buck, it was only a 4 point though, but we haven't seen him in months.
Do you know of any fairly cheap ways to attract the deer and turkeys to my yard? And any fairly cheap ways to hear more coyotes?
