A friend and I were viewing "impact shots" from a deer outfitter when a female co-worker came up and was livid.

An emotional outburst occured--
"That hunter hurt that animal!!"

We made terse responses that not only would we shoot the animal in question but that we would eat it to!!

The conversation continued--
You wouldn't do that if the animal could ATTACK and KILL YOU!!

We both chimed in as if on cue and said NOT SO-if even if the animal could KILL US!!

You would hunt an animal for sport even if it could KILL YOU?? You are here in civilized society [with its comforts] and you would do that? Your insane!!
Then we got the idiotic macho ruthless barbarian accusation and the vehement statement to leave the animals and wilderness alone and she left.

Bottom line--

Why do we hunt DG? Are we proving ourselves the ultimate preditor? Why do some hunters refuse to hunt DG?

What do you think?

Why do you hunt DG?
