I hunt deer to put dinner on the table. Food in the grocery store gets recalled. Never out in the woods. Plus it’s really nice to sit out in the woods for hours away from work, home, etc. It’s a good time to be out in the woods and just think about your life and things while you wait for a deer to come in. Enjoyable to watch the birds and squirrels too. Heck some people just go out “hunting” to get away and take a nap in the woods and find peace for some hours and I don’t blame them.
When I do get a deer, I do feel bad for the animal. Remember there are slaughter houses where animals are in constant stress and get abused up till death. Out in the wild animals will get mauled to death by wolves, mountain lions, etc. or just hit by a car. I heard a deer get mauled to death by an animal while having a camp fire with my cousin and it sounds like a goat screaming. It’s pretty horrible to hear. If I was a deer, I would take a bullet to the heart than to get mauled or smashed by a car any day.
The worst part of hunting is field dressing. I definitely don’t enjoy it and I don’t think anything else does too. I really hope not. If you’re a little tight on cash to bring your deer into a local butcher you’ll have to butcher it yourself. I’m sure every hunter does that at least once. That’s not fun or enjoyable either.
Now for people out there shooting Huskies and even mistaking a horse as deer (yes that really happened) definitely shouldn’t be hunting and they’re clearly not smart enough to know one of the major rules.
Know what your target is and what lies beyond it.
As long as you aren’t torturing the animals… or killing for fun, I don’t see the problem with it
I don’t agree with killing for fun. Killing to stop overpopulation, to protect another species, for food, whatever, I’m fine with. I mean shit, we may be smarter than the rest of the animal kingdom but killing is in our nature even more so than other animals. But killing just to kill ain’t cool. Can’t stop them though.

"she took a sadistic pleasure in tormenting him"
Nope, no hunters I know of are like that. Everyone that hunts wild turkeys or deer does so for the meat to eat.
They are far more peaceful than the butchers in meat plants that I've seen... seen a baby bull get castrated with a dull knife... now that is sadistic. It wasn't intentionally, they started not realizing how dull it was, but to stop would of left it in pain and it could of died, so they finished the job and sharpened the knife for next time.
Got to love the ignorance of some people though when they say hunters are mean and cruel, they should get their meat at the store like everyone else... like uh, where do you think the store gets it from, those cruel meat plants.
Yup which is why I support the guy getting charged with that. He'd have to be an idiot to think they are the same thing, but I'm referring more to deer as if they do not allow hunting then they get over populated and they starve and suffer a slow painful death. Hence why only so many permits are issued each year.
No. Hunters got to eat too. A good hunter makes it a quick kill most of the time.
Hunters shop to hunt, without hunting gear you're not going to have a great time.
For some it is for some it's a way to survive;

How the hell could you mistake a husky for a wolf? Even if you did. Honest mistake. How could you get this far and not realize it’s a wolf?
No. Hunters for the most part aren’t sadistic. They’re hunting for food and sometimes for sport. As long as they follow the laws.
We humans eat animals and have been for years. You can’t talk one bad example of anyone and build a straw man out of it. To make everyone look bad.
If you don’t want to hunt. You do you. But. They also sometimes reduce animal populations when they start getting out of control.
I have been a shooter since I was eight years old.
I am also a former soldier and wish that the country in which I have the misfortune to live had a Second Amendment.
I also think that anyone who kills an animal for 'pleasure' is seriously mentally ill. One of my fantasies is to hunt the hunters. I could find out what great warriors they were.
Why act holier than thou when you profit off of that murder to continue your own life? It doesn't matter if you're a vegan even, something that was alive had to die they keep you alive. We are all complicit because we are all, like animals, selfish enough to prioritize our own survival.
There are normal hunters that are out there with a purpose and then there are people that shouldn't even have a gun in their hand.
But not hungry as todays buck is all the meat I can’t afford now thanks to your President Biden
No, not inherently. It is just one means of gathering food from nature, like harvesting. One only becomes a sadist when they revel in the suffering or fear of what they hunt. Most hunters I know, myself included, don't want the animals to suffer or be afraid. We care about nature and love animals. Sure we get excited if we succeed, but that is no different than going to your garden and seeing how plump and healthy your crops are, or how big the morel mushroom you find is.
It means they are human. It's practically built into the definition of human. Humans wouldn't have existed in most parts of the world without it.
There are those who hunt to put dinner on the table, and those who hunt for sport and show it off. I don't think the former is sadistic.
Not necessarily, but a lot don't take it seriously.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/MQyoSLOlglwSome are. But I see little difference in hunting for meat and paying someone else to kill for you.
No, the vast majority are not... they are just as sadistic as people who eat animal products... I hunt and I am not a sadist
Neither do all hunters, but most people wear some sort of animal product
Tell that to every fly, ant, worm or whatever you squashed along with all the animals who starved to death to grow the crops you eat (and that is just if you are a vegetarian)
i hate hunters. there's no need for that shit anymore
What was it doing running wild? Dog owner is responsible. Hunters serve a great function.
1) It feeds the homeless
2) it thins out deer which would starve to death slowly
Hunting with hounds is sadistic. I never heard of that happening outside England though. I have no problem with hunting for food, with a rifle. It's probably less cruel than factory farming.
It depends. The woman in that picture is sadistic and evil
Sadistic as hell although some are just hungry.
Nah. Game meat is good meat. Nothing like grilling up some fresh elk burgers. Whoo-eee!
I used to hunt, I wasn’t sadistic I was hungry.
Yes however the east coast is very much not. My parents bought a plot of land in 81it didn’t have electricity to it so we had to wait for that to come. My father then had a bad accident and didn’t 3 months in hospital. You can google rural east coast of NZ if you need a back up reference. I grew up in a little place called nuhaka. There even to this day is only one little shop and it’s closed on weekends 😂
They are sick.
Boy what the fuck. Why the picture
To an extent yes but not everyone
Hunters who hunt for sport are sadistic.
100%
