Hunting as a "sport"

I completely agree.

Ugh yeah, hunting goes with the rule take what you need and leave the rest. Otherwise you'll find yourself with nothing left to hunt. Same rules apply to everything else.
I hate in duck season you see all these guys shooting them because they just like killing things (I would call this murder actually, the mindset behind it is rather scary.) or want to stuff them for display.

Oh and I hate guns. So LOUD  

If your sugesting that it is because hunter have shot them out, its not. Sambar number have never been in greater numbers in the state of Victoria. In the 70's, shooting a sambar deer was rare, and a very exclusive 'club' so to speak. Now, while it is a lot easier, it is still no easy feet. Many hunter got 3 years with out shooting a deer.

No, hunters do not shoot 'because they like killing things', they shoot them as it is a skill, and it supplies you with meat. Duck tastes good. We do not hunt ducks, cause 'killing them is fun'

Try soy duck. Same taste, and eating it won't make you a douche.

heh, keep talking mate, and I'll keep blasting away.

New it wouldn't take long till one of you started calling names!

But, you still find it fun? I mean, I do think it's good when hunters  hunt purely for meat etc. but still, I have all these friends that hunt and they enjoy it. What is so exciting about it if you don't mind me asking?
(not trying to judge you or anything. I actually prefer when people hunt pest animals that will be killed regardless, for meat, rather then buying heaps or factory farmed meat. Don't really agree with it, but it's much better then modern farmed meat in my opinion)

First, good to see someone having a mature debate.

I really don't know why I like hunting, it just do. I just find it enjoyable. Its not the killing that is really the enjoyable bit. I've been hunting for deer about  10 times, only ever seen one and never shot one, yet I still keeping going out. I love getting into the outdoors, and being in nature. In the end, killing and havesting the animal  is just an added bonus.
