Do you Hunt?

Hey, you have a very good point. I experience terrible guilt for eating meat. I was a vegetarian for over 10 years and, living with my ex, ended up eating meat again simply because they kept complaining about my not doing so. I am anemic and anorexic, so I am trying to figure out how to give up meat again without landing in the hospital again. I eat very little of it, but I must say I DO prefer hunting over purchasing meet at the supermarket, but only if everyone did it (I dislike mass farming, but I see hunting currently as being wasteful, since so much meat is already available).
Sorry for the rant... I feel strongly about this sort of thing. I'm not necessarily against other people eating meat (although it bothers me that I eat it right now), but I'm against the waste that I see... factory farming and overstocked supermarkets with overbreeding and less than ideal conditions for the animals. So, I would prefer seeing people hunt, but, not enough people are willing to hunt to get rid of the demand for supermarkets going nuts stocking meat, so I don't see the point.

But I don't say no when people who do offer me meat.

Haven't hunted in years, I hunted Deer, Pheasant, Duck and Dove.

I love animals, I don't want to kill them.

agree

Do you buy meat at the store?

No, I'm a vegetarian.

When I need the meat.

I would never hunt, I don't think it's okay to kill innocent animals for entertainment. But, it's -okayish- if you use it for food.

agree

Every day. For my socks, my keys, my daughter's shoes...

Not in a long time.

No, I'm strictly a target shooter. I shoot cans and paper targets but that's about it. I've never been out hunting.

good

Many thanks sister. No I don't hunt at all. Strictly target shooting. I can sure kill the heck out of a paper target though

I didn't hunt for sport, I hunted for food, Shot Trap, Skeet and Turkey Shoots, Turkey's were the Prizes. Loaded my own shells.

It all sounds like fun here. I've never done any kind of trap or skeet shooting at all. I do load my own shells though.

Turkey Shoots are even more fun. I have a "slug" barrel for my 1100. I don't load slug shells.

I hear that.

Unless you count shoes and clothes. :)

it's too much hassle, too much killing.

agree

Yes. But only for women.

I haven't had the pleasure in 45 years.

never really got into killing an animal.

For jobs.

I must be a bad shot I haven't bagged anything.

Yes I do and eat what I shoot and it fills my freezer quite nicely, I have no issues at ethical hunting.

i don't think i have the guts to shoot a beautiful animal. :c

me either

on occasions yes, I actually got a mule deer once.

For compliments.

Once

Not really, but I have bagged a few wild Skeet and made a Low Country Stew from Clay Pigeons I shot from the sky and brought home. Too crunchy for my taste.

girls

yep

I hate guns and other weapons.
