I know people have that attitude and some people who hunt are dickheads but when you go hunting with people who attempt to live off than land they have a lot of respect for the animals and the land for that matter. When you get the halfassed guys who like to drink and walk around with guns then you have cowards. In both Maine and Minnesota I knew some real hunters who were very good people.

Hunting is part of my First Nations culture. I personally am not a hunter, but many people that I know are. One of my brothers is. I was a fisherman. Not a lot of hunters here anymore. In this band of 1700 members, I don't think there's 100 hunters.

East of here in Verendrye park, the Anishinabek of Barriere Lake (Rapid Lake) still get most of their food from hunting and fishing and trapping. The white men keep cutting down all the park though, destroying habitat. It's clear-cutting. They say it's selective-cutting, taking the large trees, leaving the small ones, they give it fancy names; bull$#!t, get out in the bush and you'll see it's clear-cutting. Everything's gone, and the ground is torn all to hell.

Anyway, we'll be having a traditional community Winter feast here on Dec 19. Moose meat and pickerel and trout for sure, and probably some deer and maybe rabbit too. Some drumming. Someone'll be doing a sunrise ceremony early that morning. It's all free.

My friend Will still follows the tradition of giving a snack to the Elders. He gets a moose or some fish, he makes the rds giving a snack to the Elders.

I don't object to hunting. I object to unnecessary animal suffering though, and to killing animals for no reason. You gotta have that respect for the animals, you give thanks, and you eat what you take.

Here's my pal Myles who was out hunting and came across the dead deer. The old man is 91 years old at the time of the video, Regis, and he's still alive right now, 96 now. He was born at a time when Jack Dempsey was just a contender.

What makes a hunter a dickhead and/or coward? I have a freezer full of venison, dove, duck, quail, geese, fish, crab, and I think I still have a rabbit as well. I harvested them all. In fact I can smell the hunter's chili Mrs. VC is making right now. I spent just about every weekend since August scouting and over the last month have harvested two bucks and a doe with my bow. I will probably take 3 more before the season is over and then I'll feed my family with their venison for the year. Hunters do more for conservation than any group. They provide much needed population control and fight fiercely to protect wildlife areas. It is much more important for hunters to police their own and take care of hunting lands b/c there is always some ignorant limp wristed moron wanting to save the planet while having no understanding of how the ecosystem works. No one disagrees that shooting an animal and just leaving it to rot is poor form but for starters this is a miniscule amount of hunters. Making a bigoted generalization about hunters b/c of a handful of incidents would be no different than saying all environmentalists are murderers b/c of a handful of eco-terrorists.

Nice, bow hunting is quite a skill. I never hunted with a bow but I love to shoot targets with one. I became quite accurate. The few times I did hunt I was scared to use one as I was not confident I could take down a deer with one shot. I am very paranoid about wounding the animal and not being able to track it and finish it off. Do you take down your fowl with a bow?

[VictorCharlie]

I wish I was good enough to shoot fowl with a bow. I have taken a turkey but that isn't quite the same thing. I have a beretta over/under 12 ga that I do just about all my other bird hunting with. If you put an arrow right behind the shoulder you should pierce the lungs and heart and not have to track the deer much more than 30 yards. When possible I simply try to put one through the base of the skull. I used to hunt w/a rifle but really enjoy the challenge of bow hunting. You have to get much closer to the animal and it takes a lot more skill.
