What is the purpose of sport hunting and why isn't it illegal already?

[Docfeelgood]

Oh my god... this again?

I refuse to believe that almost everyone here are close-minded idiots with an odd unanimous prejudice against an entire genre of music that is wildly popular in this country.

Are you all trolling me? Is that what it is? I have never come across such absurd vitriol towards any artform among people who consider themselves intelligent and open-minded.

I've ****ing proved that only a small subset of rap could even possibly be characterized as 'violent', 'misogynistic', or 'bling bling'.

I'm sorry.
your right.
more open minded.
It's is a full moon.
I need more prozac.

[Al B. Sure!]

Everyone here agrees that it is absurd to denigrate all rock music because of Marilyn Manson yet everyone denigrates all of rap because of whoever is retarded... Lil Wayne or something.

How does that make sense?

[Docfeelgood]

I will make it up to you.
not today but later,
I'm getting a HA.
I will be open minded about your explanation of rap.

Before you get all huffy, have you ever actually met a single hunter in your life? Or is this whole thread just pulled out of your ass while you were sitting on a horrid European squat toilet?

[BlackCat]

bet that one of my nieces would scare the heck out of Al. 18 y.o. experienced hunter, female

[Al B. Sure!]

I'm a little surprised. I was expecting more anti-hunting posters here to back me up. Guess Apolyton is filled with backhills yokels who like to kill poor animals for fun. Go figure.

FunFact: Many parts of America, such as Texas, now have a serious problem with feral pigs. The creatures are smart, prolific and immensely destructive; they devour crops without pity. Wiki sez, "As of 2008, the estimated population of 4 million feral pigs caused an estimated US$800 million of property damage a year in the U.S.A." Sport hunters are doing a good deal to contain the population, but not enough, because feral pigs are extremely wily and can scent a human from ridiculous distances. Also they pop out piglets like mad. Killing swine from the air Alaska-style is problematic because of ground cover such as trees and bushes.

You know what we need? MORE HUNTERS.

As a matter of fact, feral hogs in the area of Lake Lavon have recently been a big problem.

I like guns and I like to target shoot. I don't hunt and haven't since my teens. I feed birds (including dove) and squirrels every morning.

Texas has 4 million wild pigs?!?!?!

unbelievable

[Barnabas]

Is hunting with arrows more macho or nerdy?

[Hauldren Collider]

Barnabas, Texas actually has a huge problem with feral pigs. I don't think you even need a hunting license for them and the hunting season is year-round.

Helicopter hunting is actually quite effective in the brushland I hear where all you have is short woody shrubs.

I don't consider hunting to really be a sport. I see nothing sporting about setting up feeders to practically domesticate deer and then shooting them from 100 yards away.
You want sport? Go track a bear while carrying a Bowie knife. Now that's sporting.
