Youth shotgun

[kwillia]

Doesn't make it right now, does it? I just can't imagine being 12 years old and wanting to kill animals -- maybe it's just me. We worry about people like Jeffrey Dalmer (sp?) who killed the family kittens, but we don't worry when we hand them a gun, show them how to use it and then say have at it?

Oh stop. If a 12 year old is responsible enough to do the training, make a clean kill and then dress and eat the kill more power to her. At least she is getting fresh, non-chemicalized meat rather than the saran wrapped stuff we pick up in the grocery stores.

Or are you a vegetarian...

You ever consider that just maybe they eat what they hunt??

Why, aren't they allowed in Giant, Food Lion or Safeway?

 

[Dickinsmd]

You're just sick!

God bless America!!!
My daughter with her first!!

She helps me clean everything. Hunter safety course next month. She'll be fine. Could be a career trap shooter.

We go to Nicks of Clinton for fresh rabbit when it's out of season. Ever try possum??? Tastes like muskrat.

 

[Mikeinsmd]

No, Just you.

Hiya Tard!!!

Trust me I am being nice... I just can't stand hypocrites. I personally could not bring myself to take the life of an animal, but until I give up eating meat, wearing leather and slurping Jello I have no right to think I'm better than someone who kills their own dinner.

They have a youth model but it is not in stock. $380 is a better price than $1100 for the Browning.

Would it be OK with you if the local hunters sold the
Meat to local supermakets for packaging and retail ?
Here I go repeating myself but:
I think that Southern Maryland would be a prime location
to start up a venison fast food chain.

You could call it "More Buck for your Doe"
(or "More Doe for your Buck" would work too.)

at the sign of the "Golden Antlers".

sides could include "Squirrely Fries"

Don't forget to try the "Big Bambi Burger"<!-- / message --><!-- edit note -->

I'm not saying I'm better than someone who kills, I'm saying it makes me sad to see young people taught to kill. Just me, I guess, but I just don't like seeing dead animals as trophies.

I like seeing animals killed for stew, steaks, ribs, chops and bugers.

Okay, okay, okay, I surrender. Goodnight to one and all.

I personally don't like it one bit either. The only prenup for my marriage was that my husband to be had better hope that we ended up with a house with a garage because I didn't want to live with dead animals as decoration in my house. He agreed to the compromise. We got married. A few years later he bagged a buck. He got the head mounted and proudly brought it home... It was at that point that he realized I was serious and Fred has been hanging in the garage ever since.

My point is that if we are meat eaters we have to also accept that meat comes from dead animals. If we chose to get ours from nondiscript styrofoam trays wrapped in clear plastic, so be it. Others chose to bag and process their own.

One more thing you and I have to come to terms with. Hunting is a natural part of the food chain. Since we have wiped out the natural chain, the population control of most animals is now in the hands of humans. That is a fact of nature... and fact of life.

We don't hunt for trophys. Thats a bonus. We hunt for sport and food. Top of the food chain.
