What are your thoughts on hunters?
they are for the most part morons who I would gladly watch burn to death, however this is not any different from the general population.
>>699495219
I have no respect for trophy hunters shooting endangered animals for sport.
But people who hunt and actually use the meat and hides then I'm okay with that.
>>699495219

I think it's awesome fuck animals if they had the chance they would kill and eat you
Still hunters who go after deer and other common critters and eat them afterward are fine... trophy hunters however are pretty grotesque.

>Hunters
Make it sporting. Use a boar spear, crossbow, bow, or single shot bolt action at the very most.
Don't use any of that bullshit gear like the invisiblinds or remote control guns.
If you want to hide in a tree, climb up there yourself, don't bring a ladder or tree stand.
Clean your own game after you kill it.
Most importantly, eat what you kill, don't leave any garbage or trace of yourself in the woods behind you.
Hunting is about getting closer to your primal side, remembering where you stand in the circle of life, its not about using fancy gadgets to kill something then leave.
This year I'll be deer hunting. If I kill one I'll fuck it and post for all of /b/ to enjoy.

>>699495219
For food/population control - good
For fun/ego-stroking - burn in hell
>>699497953
I'll agree that if you are doing it for food then yes. Use whatever you want.
If you are doing it for fun, then make it sporting, and still bring the meat home for later consumption.
Or gifts. Fresh game makes a pretty awesome gift to most people.
>>699497185
>only use my retard tools.
>that'll put some hair on your chest.
I'm a hunter. We usually leave the corpses behind - but the meat never goes to waste, it feeds the ecosystem. You don't *have* to eat or harvest what you kill.
I'm also a trophy hunter. What you idiots don't realize is that we bring a LOT of money into impoverished areas, when we hunt big cats and other rare game.

>>699496677
Do you have any idea how much revenue that kind of hunting generates for the local africans...also, they couldn't give one fuck about the animals they see by the hundreds (probably) every single day. It's just us cry baby Americans that anthropomorphize those animals into something they aren't. So, in short, Fuck em.

>implying factory farming is superior to hunting
As an avid fisherman who comes from a fishing/hunting, I am totally fine with hunters who kill animals to eat (deer, birds, other non-endangered animals, etc). I was raised to only kill what I was going to eat, and I swore to never kill endangered animals. To kill an animal you must do it respectfully.
But people who hunt lions and giraffes and shit are doing it for the pure act of killing. They can go fuck themselves. "I'm gonna kill a lion! That'll make me feel manly!" No, you fucking manlet, it doesn't. Now you should probably go back to your shitty apartment and address the fact that you're getting cucked by your wife.

Deer hunting, duck hunting and fishing are fine and fun activities and make for even better cookout with family, however assholes who hunt more than they need or hunt rare game are the most vile pieces of shit on Earth.
>>699495219

I'd even go as far to say that they are even lower than pedophiles and slave traffickers. At least you can blame pedophiles on being sick fucks with Warped minds and slave traffickers on being greedy scumbags but rare game hunting aids no one and is the most superfluous vice.

I can't even legally hunt with a spear in CA. It's considered cruel and inhumane. Some weapons can only be used depending on the season. Want to use a crossbow during archery season in CA? Illegal. Have to do it during general rifle season. Might as well use the bolt gun. What are hunting laws? I love people spouting noise about things they know nothing about.

All the meat and hide from those exotic hunts go to the local Africans. They make a lot of money off hunters because they are paid to guide the hunt and butcher the meat. The guide tells the hunter which animal they are allowed to shoot because the locals know how to properly manage their herds. It's not like you just get off a plane and shoot whatever you want. There are rules to follow in being a hunter. Lots and lots of rules. Poachers can suck a dick though fuck them.

>>699495219
why would you shoot a giraffe? That's not even cool, what a fag.
You fags do realize that most african 'safari' style hunts are for conservation right? Sometimes one animal has to die to benifit the herd. They often cost tens of thousands or dollars to participate in, most of that money goes to the game preserve to continue funding conservation, and lots of time(not all the time) the meat is donated to local villagers. The hunts are very controlled and the guides pick which animal you pay to shoot, which are almost always males or females past breeding potential, or they are old and on their way out, or are animals that have become agressive and are becoming a problem. Without hunters funding conservation there are LOTS of species that would already be extinct. Hunters are the ones who fund wildlife conservation because they want to be able to continue hunting. Groups like ducks unlimited, pheasants forever, quail unlimited, and big game hunting organizations are responsible for the restoration of habitat and reintroduction of deminished species throughout north america, as well as other places.

I love camping and hunting but live in a very desertic area, huge plains and mountains (we get around 40°C on a normal summer day and it sometimes escalates to much more). So there isn't much water around, i know how to catch the fish i can see on a little river but i have no idea how fishing on a boat is like

If its hunting for food, not even out of necessity, but if the animal will be used as food, and it's not endangered, I don't have a problem with it.

Depends on where you're fishing in your boat. If you're fishing near the shore, look for trees, logs, jetties, etc. If you're fishing far out, look for lumps/reefs. Most people just go to the coordinates of an artificial reef or mussel bed or even underwater canyons. Trolling is a bit different. Many people will troll past buoys or even near debris like buckets, crab pot floats, weed beds, or any other flotsam. It's all about cover/structure, really.

When it comes to creatures like fish idc they can't feel pain and they're sustainable. I live in scotland and we have a deer overpopulation problem, so people hunt 'em which I'm cool with. However, you know why there are too many deer? Cause fucking dumbasses over hunted all their natural predators. Therefore, although I wouldn't partake in the sport myself I won't get at others for hunting as long as the species is completely sustainable and they don't hunt to excess, especially when doing it for fun.
I do wonder though what sick satisfaction people get from killing an animal like a deer which can feel pain.
I REALLY hate those rich cunts who pay shit tons of money to have a lion or whatever herded into an enclosed pen so they could shoot it, I mean come on! I get it if you've waited hours and hours for a creature to come by and then carefully and quietly lined up a shot knowing full well that if it hears you or you miss that animal will be long gone, but these people just pay money for baby's first shooting practice and get to take home the trophy of some huge predator.

>b-but muh cecil the lion
Yeah mistakes happen, that guys hunt was not through a reputable guide and is an asshole for doing so. Predators are often times allowed to be taken again, to benifit the herd/pride or if they have become a problem. The shots are moved to a controlled environment at times because some of the hunters aren't exactly the most skilled so detaining the animal may help it acheive a swift death, rather than some idiot dumping a bunch of slugs into a fleeing animals ass and having to track it down. I'm not saying that is right or the hunt i would like, but you have to understand that there are real reasons for doing it in that manner. At the end of the day, 1 animal dies, the game preserve gets a huge sum of cash, and the healthy animals keep on keepin' on

Depends. A lot of hunters are depended on by their local parks to keep populations under control. That's a large part of why hunting licenses are given out and in certain numbers. And of course most hunters use the meat.
The bitch in this picture though who's just acting proud that she (or more likely her family) paid a bunch of money to go on a safari and shoot an exotic animal and the only part she's going to use is its head for a trophy, she's a dumb cunt.

Sport hunters are scumbags and ethical hunters, hunting out of environmental concern are real human beans.
>>699500758
Superior in every way but morality. Even then, if you consider a human life to be above the life of livestock.
It's one thing to go out and kill a wild animal and eat it, but it really passes me off when people just skin and hang their kill. I don't give a fuck if you hang it up as long as you ate or gave the meat to someone who will eat it. When it comes to things like giraffes, it should be really regulated along with everything that I just said. (maybe 1-2 kills a year) It's probably already regulated when it comes to more exotic animals
>>699521113

>>699495219
Food is legit, but trophy hunting is pathetic. Inb4 the money helps the locals and critters. No one needs to kill animals to help them, or the people around them. They could donate their time, money and effort instead. Never mind the fact that they fly half way around the world to stay in an air conditioned resort, then use a local guide and all the best modern equipment to go "hunting". They're the epitome of douch bag posers. Beyond pathetic, really.
>>699521220
If you see game hanging, and it's cold outside that meat is not going to waste.
>>699515997
>Be wary hunter of hunters
>>699495219
They do more for conservation than any other segment of the population, granted there are bad apples like any other group and those relatively few bad apples go a long way to give hunters in general a bad name in the minds of those who already have a problem with hunting for whatever reason they may.
I find hunting to be an enjoyable pastime and a good way to bond with family members and friends, I strive to do it as ethically as I can from within the confines of the law, which unfortunately does not always make good sense. I enjoy the whole process from hunting to plating and enjoying.
As far as trophy hunting goes I'm pretty ambivalent. As long as it is done in some manner that benefits the local community and is managed by a conservation agency I think it is a net positive. I do find taxidermy to be somewhat tasteless but I don't begrudge those who opt to do so.
>>699503901
There is year round hog hunting everywhere hogs are located outside of their natural range. You retard.

>>699522138
Who the fuck hunts a fucking giraffe for sport? They're giant targets. Prey animals. They can't even fight back. Only a serious pussy would consider that impressive.
Try killing a lion with a spear. That's hunting.
>>699495219
I've never really given it too much thought. From a logical perspective it's bad to hunt endangered species as trophies, but why should we give a fuck about them anyway? If they aren't useful to us then we should dispose of them. I suppose it's the same stance I have on those who have genetic disablities or diseases: You kill them as they are not useful.
>>699495219
There is no reason to hunt anymore.
Food is readily available.
>>699522409
Alright, so we'll start off by killing you. Autism is a disability as well.
>>699512007
Hell yes animals will still fuck you up even if you have a gun, especially large African game.
>>699522409
Spoken like a true retard. If you disrupt the food chain, it will affect you or your kids eventually. Thanks to the pieces of shit hunting vital prey species like giraffes or whatever else, food is going to be more expensive for all of us in the long term. It's a domino effect. If you kill all the whales in the ocean, eventually krill will no longer have a major predator. They will overreproduce and eat the resources of all the fish. That means less fish for us to eat.
>>699522409
Do you think you could Kill someone with a disability? and where do you draw the line at disabilities?

>>699495219
what's the point? you ride around in a car driven by a guide, load a rifle and shoot an animal until it's dead.
it's not challenge.
but the money they pay to do something so trivial does go a long way for animal conservation.
>>699499097
It's not dead, just tranquilized, look at the gun she used.
>>699495219
Hunters keep animals alive by paying for licenses.
>>699522701
Maybe but giraffes are a non-threat animal. All they do is eat leaves. Who the fuck calls themselves a hunter for killing a food animal like a giraffe?
Kill a lion with a bolt action you fucking pussy.
>>699497185
most hunting technology wasnt designed to make hunting "easier"... its mostly to kill the animal in the most humane/painless way possible. Thats why there are so many restrictions on what you can and cannot use to hunt.
>>699522841
Those darts can permanently maim someone's nervous system for the rest of their life. Probably does the same to a giraffe. And for what, some stupid bitch's entertainment?

First of all you can't legally hunt endangered animals. Hunting is the best way to control over the problems that come with overpopulation. A majority of the money made and spent depending on the party goes to conservation and management of the species. And unless you're a jackass poacher the meat is almost always harvested and used

I don't think a giraffe is going to experience much less notice any cognitive impairment that may result from a single overdose of dissociatives.

Animals are tranquilized to be transported for all sorts of reason you edgelord.

Psshh, nothing personnel
This thread showed me that you faggots are way too out of touch with reality. Learn about hunting instead of spouting off shit about how hunting should only be done in the most primitive way.
>>699523601
I'm more impressed that they can afford to make a donation like that (and one that actually makes jobs instead of destroying them, not exactly par for the course of white aid going to africa) and experience a continent's wildlife in a way I simply can't afford to yet. Anyone can canned hunt or have a guide drag them to an animal but I don't see anything morally objectionable.
>>699497185
Says the retard who thinks people hunt with "remote controled guns". Your ignorance also shows by implying just because some one hunts with a semi-auto rifle that are spraying their kill with lead instead of taking one precise shot. Protip: most people who field a semi-auto are either hunting boars/varmints, or walking where something else might be hunting what they are hunting i.e. bears, wolves, and mountain lions.
>bullshit gear like invisiblinds
I guess any sort of camo is unethical too right? No camo clothing? What about smearing myself with mud and leaves and jamming a stick up my ass to look like a tree? Guess you should get out there and tell all of those leaopards, jaguars, and tigers that there stripes/spots give them an unfair advantage
You sound like one of those homos who somehow thinks its more ethical/holy to bludgeon an animal to death or sticking it woth a spear while it writhes in agony until it bleeds out or you finally knock it out instead of a quick clean shot to the head/spine/heart
>>699495219
BOUT TO /THREAD RIGHT HERE
think of it this way
literally ANYBODY strong enough to lift 10-15 pounds, and precise enough to play a video game or two- can fire a gun.
it FUCKING SICKENS me (completely aside from any animal rights pov) how this stupid cunt has that pretentious, accomplished look on her face like she really just "defeated her pray" meanwhile she pressed a fucking button on a stick of metal
skin to skin, that giraffe would stomp her into a fucking pancake
but we have technology, so people use it then they feel tough
i could EASILY go to africa and do EXACTLY what she did, why is it cool?
besides, that giraffe was a smart animal
animals are just other living things like us, stupider, but theyre alive and have feelings
if you think this is cool, youre a le edgy fucking faggot

Are you going to share the data upon which you are basing this assertion or just do you really think that all mammalian nervous systems have the same level of sensitivities to tranquilizers?
The only thing I can possibly come up with that you might be basing this on is overdosing the animal to the point that it suffer respiratory distress and subsequently leaves the encounter with brain damage.

>>699500760
Yeah I'm with you on this. I hunt deer every few years for the meat but those dickholes that are out killing lions and giraffes, or whatever can die in a fire.
People that hunt for trophies, or fun, are disgusting, even more so when they pay to do it, that's not even hunting, that's what attentionwhores do
People that kill animals like rattlesnakes bears Cougars or whatever just because they don't want them around are inbred retards
People that kill predators because they're scared of them (like wolves around their livestock) are understandable but I still don't like it
People that hunt for food are respected

Technically just about every firearm action currently in production was designed for the purpose of killing more efficiently than its predecessors or is based upon a design that was, the important noun in that sentence being action. It's a fairly moot point to differentiate between firearms or actions that were specifically intended to be submitted for a military contract or not as there are many designs of all types that have been intended for commercial and contract markets, the firearms themselves are no more or less dangerous based upon that distinction alone.
>>699496313
like literally fuck them?
>>699527899
So you're not okay with spending money to kill or killing dangerous things, but you're okay with killing for money or food. There is so much cognitive dissonance there I cannot even begin to unravel that statement.
>>699527899
So you can't have any fun while you're hunting? Cause i hunt for meat and fun. I hunt because it's fun and happen to enjoy eating my take. I also hunt for food and happen to have a lot of fun going innawoods

I only participate in deprivation hunts, layman's terms, killing everything out of an area for the good of the area.

So people who paid money to hunt an animal you'll probably see 1-2 times in your life (in a zoo, in the wild probably never) and that isn't endangered, shouldn't have a right to do it? Why? I guarantee you'll instantly forget about this never give another shit.

Fun fact! The AR-15, the media's favorite demonized babykilling 'salt-rifle was derived from the AR-10.. The AR-10/AR-15 were FIRST designed as a CIVILIAN sporting rifles before the US govt adopted the M16 for use during the vietnam war
>>699529804

>>699530004
As a hunter myself, as long as you don't do it for sport, and as long as you don't be a dick about it (kinda like the atheists of the Internet, but that's a discussion for another thread), then there's no problem with it. I wish my dad would use the all the meat we get from hunting. He likes to preach the ideas I've put forth, but the meat only ever fills our freezers (yes, we bought more freezers to hold it all) and he instead buys meat from domestic cows. Fucking hate his hypocrisy.

You're actually wrong, it was designed by Armalite to the specific end of earning a military contract. The designation AR-15 did however come before M16 but it was not intended for the commercial marketplace. I'll admit I'm a little fuzzy on the dates of marketplace entrances for the AR-15 and M16 but the XM16 was in service with the military before either, doubly obvious in the case of M16. No honest knowledge on many specific dates for the AR-10 but I am somewhat familiar with project that lead to it and its progenies' development.

It depends on the animal killed. Some animals are in abundance and its no big deal to hunt. Others are in limited supply so that killing them reduces the breeding population and genetic stock. In these cases hunters are stealing from the future.
>>699531795
AR-10(civilian sporting rifle) --> M16 --> AR-15. Every firearms manufacturer ever is after the military adopting one of their designs
>>699531795
But like I had previously stated, it's a pointless distinction.
I own multiple AR-15s, AK pattern rifles, and assorted military surplus. They aren't any more or less deadly whether they were designed to be sold to the military or not.
This bitch claimed hundreds of thousands of lives or better but few people born in the last few decades could identify it as a military weapon.

AR-10/15 are essentially the same gun. The reason why they wanted the 15 over the m14 or AR-10 was smaller bullets = more bullets = greater volume of fire = more firepower
