    I'm not for hunting deer either, although I do understand what Karen posted. But no one in the family hunts, and when I go somewhere and see a deer head mounted on a wall it does affect me negatively.
    I also don't like to hear the stories about how they build blinds and hide till the mom appears and leads them to the babies that they then shoot. If you hunt and eat your kill that's one thing, but to kill just to brag about it, then I consider it wrong. And the one thing that burns me the most is that when a group of hunters start packing for their hunting trip, the first thing they pack are the cases of beer.
    Over here, hunting with dogs is strictly forbidden because of the damage the dogs can do to a deer and then it escapes hurt. Or the dog chases the deer and maims it so the hunter can shoot it. But not all areas prohibits this horrid custom, to me that isn't hunting, no fair play for the deer, some of the dogs get pretty gruesome when they get turned loose.

    I feel the same way about bow hunting. Every hunter I've spoken to that bow hunts has admitted that at least once they've injured the deer but didn't kill it. So it ran off to die an agonizing death. But it's that macho thing again and the deer suffer because of it.
    Blessings,

    it's not just a macho thing... I know a lot of women that hunt also.

    I don't know... I guess being married into a family that is full of hunters changes my perspective... but none of the men in this family are "macho"... they are good, down to earth people... good fathers.... wonderful husbands.... not macho in the least.

    ETA: our uncle has a deer head on his wall... he didn't shoot the deer just so he could hang the head on the wall... he ate it...and it was his very first deer so he mounted the head. Nothing wrong with that and that doesn't make him macho or inhumane.




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.
