re: Do yourself a favor and make hunting a hobby.

I feel like the vast majority of hunting fanatics are dudes who use it as an excuse to ditch their wife and kids for the weekend.

"I feel like" you are sadly detached from reality in a lot of ways.

I don't need to kill a weaker, innocent creature to prove my masculinity, but you do you.

You pay someone else to kill what is essentially a domesticated animal for you, so you can eat it.

Deer hunting can* be boring


Wing shooting is wonderful

Grew up hunting from a young age, at some point in my late teens/early twenties I realized just how mind numbingly boring that shite is.

Same here. Looking back I think it was more that I enjoyed being out in the woods with my Dad more so than the hunting itself. All the time before season getting things prepped. Once I was grown and moved out and was doing most of that and the hunting by myself it just really became quite boring to me. When my son got old enough I started back up with him and have very fond memories of it but again, once he was grown and gone it became boring again.
Will say I and very grateful to my SIL who is a hunting addict and keeps my freezer stocked full for me.

I’ve never been hunting. It seems fun. I just don’t see myself ever attempting it for the first time alone. If someone invited me, I would go. I like shooting guns, and I like cooking.

Hunted from 10 up to about 25

There's a fine line between hunting and sitting on your arse in the woods

I worked with a guy that said he grew up dirt poor country and when they needed meat he would go out night hunting with his Daddy to shoot a deer. Didn't matter the season. He was putting food on the table.

Didn’t realize there’s so much soy on this site!
