I have gone whitetail/fox/coyote/varmint hunting with a home made bow and arrows many times. So no, I am not full of shit.


    Let let me guess, you used dogs in this scenario? Or you chased them down in a vehicle. Or they were trapped in a pen. Because there is absolutely no way you got one with a knife or spear running around Florida. So you are a straight up hypocrite. Why the fuck do you need to kill wild boars when you can buy fresh bacon anywhere? Ham is cheap at walmart. So yes, you are full of shit.


    As posted above, I have hunted many times and fully support it. I have been hunting hundreds of times in the last couple decades with dozens of people and dozens of different hunting styles. But I do think hunting should involve tracking and using skill to kill an animal, not tech, piss bottles and waiting.

    hundreds of times and this is the opinion you have, and you never once posted in our hunting forum here in nearly 3 years? Bullshit. You have been playing big game hunter too much. You and your video game testing job (unless you lie about that) don't count as being out in the woods hundreds of times. Get back to your moms basement and ask for more brownies....



    I know a lot about hunting and have been doing so for over 20 years. I am not an ignorant asshole at all, you just seem to be a little intolerant and don't seem to be able to take someone else's opinion if it disagree's with yours. Sorry, I just don't qualify most modern hunters as true hunters anymore. Don't like that? Though, deal with it. Getting pissy on the internet may make you feel better about yourself, but it doesn't accomplish anything. BTW nobody like assholes at all, and you have shown yourself to be a world class on with that antagonistic reply. Job well done.

    I am very intolerant of ignorant people. Obviously you have never been on a big cat hunt, you don't know what is involved and you won't bother to research it. You don't know the cost involved, the time spent by the guide and hunter, the risk to the dogs, the challenge of just finding fresh tracks after a fresh snow at 1am. The hikes you take to see if the cat is the right one, the chance of losing the cat, the possibility the day you get up and get ready to go the DOW has closed the unit as the quota has been filled.

    so please explain to me oh hunter among animal killers, where on your high horse and hundreds of hunts have you been and what lack of modern technology did you use to get there? Did you drive in a vehicle to your hunting grounds? Fly on an airplane?
    Do you hunt birds? Do you process your own game? Do you keep it cold in a home made freezer or turn everything to jerky or salt it? Please please please explain to me what makes you believe you are better than this girl, than anyone on this board who hunts and how in your mind you really think you are a true hunter and not an ignorant worthless hypocrite who is a video game tester in his moms basement and absolutely FULL OF SHIT?

You criticize people for using "modern" methods stating it has little challenge... but then go completely opposite and say you hunted like the aboriginal Australians with spears? I may have been born at night, but I wasn't born last night... if you're actually not completely full of shit on this, I apologize, but I have a really hard time believing anyone would "smith" their own rudimentary weapons then actually go and hunt wild boar with them, successfully. I will believe the homemade bow and arrows though.
    Why would anyone build a car when they can just buy one? Why would anyone build their own home, or grow their own food? Hell, why even hunt when you can go to a store? My Uncle is a blacksmith by trade so it's not like making a few simple hunting tools is difficult. From start to finish it was an afternoon project. And why wouldn't I? It's a new experience I had never had and it was awesome.

    Yes, spearing it does make it run, then you track it and finish it with a knife if you got a good enough initial hit. He says most of the time the boar does shake the spear and get away and you never see it again. My Uncle does this every season and I just joined him the one time. I wouldn't have the ability to do it on my own, but with his help it was a fun and successful hunting experience.

    I was just giving an example that I was asked for. He asked when the last time I did it was and I told him. It's not like I am doing this all the time, just the once in fact, most of my hunting is with the bow I made for varmint and small game.

    Do you not believe people would cast their own bullets and reload their own ammo? It's probably a shorter and easier process to make a couple simple blades than it is to do that.

    Using dogs is actually pretty common, but not needed in this case. My Uncle is quite experienced in boar hunting so he does not utilize any tracking help anymore. Spear hunting for boar in Florida is very common, I am not sure why that boggles your mind, I even have other co-workers who have done it as well. I never said people shouldn't hunt, I just said I wouldn't take pride in modern hunting. You don't even seem to grasp the simple concept of what I said so most of that last comment is irrelevant.

    hundreds of times and this is the opinion you have, and you never once posted in our hunting forum here in nearly 3 years? Bullshit. You have been playing big game hunter too much.

    I have posted here a total on 100 something times in the years I have been here, hunting, shooting, general or any other topic. This isn't the primary place I talk and I don't really enjoy talking to hunters and shooters online a lot because I run into so many people like you. Then you bust into your ignorant stereotype. Talk about hypocrisy. But that job info is out of date, I am a project manager instead of a tester and now work primarily on business related software. And my house doesn't even have a basement, it's a tri-level. Just FYI.

    Nope, never been on a big cat hunt. And I don't care if it's how it's done, chasing an animal into a tree and shooting it down is not impressive. Again, I never said people shouldn't do it, but taking pride in it is not something I would do after shooting an animal in a tree.

    Those other things are not related to the hunt itself. I do use vehicles to get there, but not for the hunt itself. I don't have a problem with people wearing shoes either, just in case that one was next, since you really went off the deep end there. And again I never said I am a "true hunter" or better than anyone else. You just seem to like to insert your own thought into this despite me not actually having said it.

    Then again you go into a stereotypical and ignorant rant about my profession. You are a very good example of why I don't generally like talking to the gun community online. Too many intolerant people who just like to be an ass to others who disagree and are unable to accept anything outside of their narrow world view, it's like being on VWVortex all the time. You are the kind of person that turn so many people off to the shooting world and it's kinda sad.

    But IMO shooting a animal hiding in a tree is not hunting, it's killing. Hunting is tracking an animal and killing it with a weapon you make yourself. Not using the latest tech you bought that someone else made in a factory that your are far too stypid to even understand to kill something.

    If you don't want to take your lumps, don't post it online. And no matter what quit crying like a little baby when you attention you don't want from something you put out there yourself
    This how you hunt mountain lions. You track them to a tree. They are not typically running around on the ground for a hunter to take a shot. When I hunt deer in the Fall I sometimes come across them because I hunt the same areas they do. They alway are in the high ground waiting for deer to pass and they always see me before I see them. As fast as they run there would be no chance of getting one if I was hunting them. I dont belive this hunter did any thing unethical, if she did DOW would be all over it. I applaud her for being a female hunter.

    Less than 1% of all hunters take 90% of the hunted game.
    Most are just donating to protect wildlife and improve the state parks (yes that is where most of license fees go)

    Most hunters are so unsuccessful that it is more or less camping and hiking with a gun.

    I personally received a comment from someone I knew that said it was unfair to be able to hunt with a shotgun. It's too easy. You can't even miss. Or so he stated.

    I took him to a sporting clays range to try it. Out of 250 rounds fired, he didn't even hit ONE clay!! He changed his mind that day.

    Hunting, whether it is shooting a standing animal at close range, hitting a flying bird or attempting to shoot a fleeing animal takes trained skills. Maybe the primary skill is finding the game in the allowable season. Sometimes it is a difficult shot. Sometimes it is getting close enough to even take a shot. These are all skills that can be taught; but most are not born with.

    I have no problem with anti-hunters and their opinion. Most have no idea how their food arrived in the grocery store. (fruits and vegtables included) They think meat comes in styrofoam containers.
    Most of the time it just shows an intelligence level.

    As to the woman, I wouldn't post something you aren't willing to take flak on. But if I received death threats some some liberal anti-hunting douche bags I would invite them to try to take their threat to the next level. When I was finished I would get them mounted as well.

    That reminds me of a story that I read awhile back where the author had an encounter with another guy and ended up calling him whenever he was having a bad day and say "you're an a$$hole" and hang up. Then after awhile he got bored of the single person and he had a run in with another guy who was selling a car so he wrote down that guy's phone number and address. Then he decided to have the ultimate fun and called guy 1 and said "you're an a$$hole" but instead of hanging up he waited. Guy 1 says "oh you're still on the phone, when I find you I'm going to beat you up." So the author gave guy 2's name and address. He then went to the address and watched the show.
