I've never understood the appeal of going hunting

[acri1]

I'm specifically talking about the idea that shooting and killing animals is a fun recreational activity

It's one thing if you're doing it to put food on the table. But for fun? I can't imagine I would get any enjoyment out of shooting a helpless deer or something. That just doesn't sound like a fun activity at all, never done it but I'm sure I'd hate it. Not for me at all.

What's the coli perspective on this? Is hunting a legitimate form of entertainment or cac shyt?

Not for me. If I had to put food on the table, sure.

Hunting for sport is some sinister stuff

“Let’s have some fun by killing something”

Then go back to their desk job at 8:00 Monday and talk to you like nothing is wrong with them

I think it's terrible for sport.

There probably is some value in learning how to hunt for those who want to live off the land. Those people seem to respect nature and use as much of their kill as possible.

The side issue I have with "hunters" is that you have people who use the hunting excuse to buy weapons they absolutely DO NOT NEED for hunting.

1. Feel like a man, or a caveman almost despite cheating by using modern guns
2. Mental gymnastics "I need to hunt these wolves or they'll mess up the environment"
3. If you're white and brought a black friend you can eliminate them "by accident"
4. Joe Rogan Cosplay

what's not to like?

Yeah some of the guys at my job go on annual hunting trips up north and post pictures of their kills and shyt.

Don't want to be rude so I'll say something like "Looks like you had a good hunt man" when they show them but internally I'm like

For food like most have said already, sure

Or if it's to kill diseased animals or those hogs (and similar animals) that ruin crops/kill other livestock, then that is fine too, imo. But I've watched those videos and those guys seem to have a little too much fun, like they are living out a COD fantasy

For pure sport though, not for me.

Never been hunting. Enjoy fishing sometimes though.
Seem like a much easier way to get food in nature.

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

It’s a dogset thing.

It’s pretty fun and can actually be bonding time with a child and parent especially when you’re just out here waiting the majority of the time.

If you’re going to eat what you kill then hunting can be fulfilling….. but hunting for sport is something I can’t get with…..

 

[WIA20XX]

It's not really a city folk activity tbh.

@acri1
Do you feel the same way about fishing?

Kids sometimes don't see it that way. Make sure you communicate and make sure.
My Grandpa took my dad hunting all the time. My dad never took me hunting though. I asked him why once. he said he hated it, and that it wasnt for him
