I 'm picking #2 too. I hate guns so I don't hunt, but have friends who do. I actually have 5lbs of deer bologne in the freezer now!

I like to fish, so I really can't say anything bad to hunters. Although, I could never shoot and kill fury animals myself, but that's just me.

Only animals with fur have rights. I don't like guns because I had one pointed at me at a very young age. Doesn't bother me if other people shoot, I just don't like being around it. Good thing I married a gun freak, huh?

I chose option 2 as long as it's hunting and not poaching.

I've never been much of a hunter, never had time to get into it as a kid.. I've owned guns but don't own one now.... and I could absolutely shoot a fury animal if I had to, I've just never had to.. and I'm not into it just for the sport.

I could kill one if it were attacking me or someone around me, just not for fun.

Yep....when I was kid, a cat that was hanging around our house, it looked kinda sick, I had a pellet gun....mom wasnt real happy when her 9 year old shot a cat. 
Hunting is great, chance to do something with my dad, and with buddies....I mostly bow hunt, and im just a deer hunter...... Deer is pretty good. I also hunt for the sport, we trophy hunt, really dont shoot doe's or young bucks, just old bucks....lotta people have misconceptions about it, which leads to anti-hunting feelings.
Its not as grusome as you might think.

I know it's not. I use to hunt all the time. I have not been hunting however in 27 years. Just like almost every other hobby I had, I gave them all up once I got married and started working long hours. I just don't have the time.

what if they're just mildly agitated instead of furious?
personally, the calm sedate ones, while easier to hit perhaps, are the last ones I'd go after

I hunted most all of my life. And while we did enjoy it as a sport, we never shot at or tried to kill ANYTHING we weren't going to eat.
Which mainly limited my hunting to quail, pheasant and deer when I became older.
As a kid, I liked rabbit and Squirrel, so I also hunted them also. But later, rarely wanted to eat either, so I no longer hunted them.
The quail pretty much got killed out in the blizzard of 78. Even now the bag limit is quite low on them. So even though they are now legal to hunt again, ( no hunting quail for a LONG time after the blizzard of 78 ), IMO, the population of quail is still not up to levels that I would feel comfortable hunting them.
Right now, I voted for #2 because I can no longer hunt. With my back, I just can't walk far enough to make hunting fun and productive.
But my grandma was full blooded Cherokee. So I believe that may have something to do with me being raised to "never take more than you need or will consume" from nature.
Same goes for fishing. I release far more than I keep. And eat all that I keep. Your hunting and fishing "limits" are set in accordance directly with the population of each species.
So if everyone follows those limits, only "take what you will consume", this will be a tradition for many generations to come. And the delicate balance of nature will be kept in tact.
Please, for those of you who do still hunt, keep that in mind for the better good of all................

Well I could shoot an animal or a person if I was being attacked.. but I was thinking more along the lines of actually needing the food.

The funny thing is that all thses green freaks protest hunting and are all standup for the conservation of wildlife...yet hunters are the ones that fund 99% of the government funded habitat restoration and national park services.
If it wasnt for the ex. tax on hunting supplies in some states, plus license fees, there wouldnt be the millions of bucks to spend on wildlife conservation.
Whos doing more, the guys spending part of thier money to help, and gladly so, or the nut standing in a gas station parking lot, going up to hunters with a sign saying "bambi killers" and crying over the dead deer in the pickup?

The only thing I wish is that you hunters would admit you like killing stuff instead of making all these lofty claims about how wonderful you are for the environment. You LOVE to KILL animals! Admit it and move on!

Some of my best memories came from past hunting trips. I mostly hunt with a camera now, but my son is taking a real interest in hunting and guns. I'm going to let him take the hunter safety course and get a license next year.
And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.

Haven't taken the hunters safety course here (MD) yet, but I am getting myself prepared to go when the class starts up...trying to figure if I want to go shotgun or rifle. I, personally like the rifle and scope......

I think it's about the thrill of the hunt, myself. If I were a hunter, I could see it. And, if there is a thrill in the hunt, it's loving the game, isn't it? If so, that means that hunters love to kill. There would be satisfaction afterward. I'm not sure she meant it in a bad way, but everyone always assumes the worst. To answer the poll...I have no problem with hunting as long as the animals are taken for food.

A common misconception. Jules is right precisely 98% of the time. This is one of the 98% for me.
I hunt cause I like the thrill of it, I like shooting, and I like killing the animals. I honestly don't care a ton about the environment.
Z: I hunt at my aunt and uncle's around Indian Lake.

You have to realize thought that if the environment is killed there will be nowhere to hunt right??

I was just joking around, I wasnt assuming anything really.I just think the way it was said made us hunters sound like a bunch of blood thirsty murderers.
What you said is exactly right though, yeah hunters enjoy the kill. No hunter wants to go out and hunt and come back empty handed. I mean if they do it can still be a great time, but being succesful makes it much better. I know you and Jules fish, isnt the feeling of hooking into a big fish kind of similar to the thrill of the kill for a hunter? I have done both and I find the feelings to be very similar. So like I said , I enjoy the hunt and the kill, because the kill means I was successful in my hunt.
