I've never understood the appeal of going hunting

[Crayola Coyote]

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.

Yeah those hogs are dangerous as hell. I saw one video of one running up on a guy with a high powered weapon Dude had to empty a whole clip on it.

I used to feel some type of way about hunting when I was younger.

But as someone who’s had 4 extremely close calls almost hitting deer while driving… Bambi you gotta go

Yeah, its just the trophy hunters i have a problem with, The ones who go to africa to shoot a rhino or a lion.
i laugh everytime one of them gets killed by their 'prey'

White boy shyt, just like them fakkits having those big exhaust pipes on their trucks that they purposely shoot out black smoke to the car behind them.

Men have hunted since the beginning of time…

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

A lot of kids don’t like it because of how early you have to get up in the morning to do it. That will kill their spirit more than anything eventhough it’s one of the first important lessons you can teach them about the importance of time and getting up early.

Some of the posters in here are from the city so I can see why they wouldn’t understand nor care for it.

I don't personally hunt myself but I don't have any issue with hunting deer for food for example. But it is a lot of crazy ass cacs doing crazy shyt out here hunting.

They got a plantation in Colleton County SC where they raise pigeons just to shoot them for fun. Boxton Bridge Plantation

Also, feral hogs can fukk up a whole field of crops in a matter of hours, so sometimes hunting is needed to help prevent it from happening.

It’s more to it than just a recreational thing.

I'd love to do it at least once and I understand doing it to curb invasive species with no natural predators.

 

[maxamusa]

I've always wanted to try it; I love fishing

 

[Whore D'oeuvres]

Been hunting. Want to go again. I don't go regularly, though. Same as with fishing: I'm in it for the groceries.

Clearly he means for sport dumbass

 

[42 Monks]

shocked that so many people are against hunting tbh

'for sport' doesn't mean act like a jackass and parade around the corpse of some exotic endangered animal - its for sharpening skill and taking pride in it more than anything. yal shouldn't let some of the worst representatives of hunting govern your entire perspective on it

 

[Pressure]

Most hunters eat what they kill.

And the exotic, big game, trophy hunting I think that's in mind for OP has its own set of life skills that make it an actual hunt. Surviving in the freezing cold for days in hopes of spotting your target, let alone getting the kill and getting it back ain't as easy as folks think.

So, ultimately you're seeing folks get a mixture of camping, survival man, and normal hunting in one package. And they're also usually rich because the entire or9cess from permits, to travel, to equipment aren't cheap.
