very beataful animal its a shame people hunt them for sport just to shoot something ! but if its in self defense im all for it! but why shoot and kill for the sport or fun of it ! to me im totaly against hunting i love guns but beleave killing a beatafule animal like that just to shoot something that's not harming you is wrong! and what kind of man hunts with a gun anyome can kill something with a rifle from fare away if you were a real man and didnt use your fire arm to kill a harmless animal and used your bare hands to kill it like thousands of years ago thats real hunting ! them poor wolves wasn't harming them hunters at all what ashame to waste a life just for fun !

This is why I stopped hunting. Running down a deer and strangling it was just becoming to difficult. Normally, I used to let the wolves take the first bite before I would beat them to death with a bag of marbles. But, even then I felt like I took advantage of my superior intelligence and strength. From then on, I only hunted in my imagination. So far, I've taken down every large mammal that walks the earth.... all without permits and travel expenses.

Yup. Those crazy tree-huggers vegetarians are the real threat to society. AND, they move much slower than animals... making them so much easier to shoot.

Is it me? I'm just not seeing any humor or sarcasm.... just some brutally honest admissions.

I came across a fresh wolf kill (deer) while bird hunting in WI this past fall. It was an incredible scene in how orderly everything was. Deer was disemboweled with surgical precision. We though we had lost one of our bird dogs to them as he went AWOL, but ended up back at the truck. I am convinced the dog encountered them and can only imagine that the beeper collar scattered them. It was really spooky and I purchased my CW45 when I returned from my trip to carry along in such situations. I didn't feel too confident that bird shot would do much to one of those critters.

Maybe not much at a distance, but let me tell ya, bird shot under 20 feet will be devastating to any canine large or small.

I can vouch for high brass #6 at close range. I fell asleep up against a tree while squirrel hunting one morning and awoke to the sound of something moving towards me from up the hill. It kept coming right towards me and as it passed me at about 5' I pulled the trigger and he dropped. It was a large Coyote. I was pretty young and new to hunting then, and I guess I shot him cause he got too damn close. Nowadays I'd just scare him away by pretending I was deer hunting, seems to scare all the deer away.

That always worked perfectly for me too, especially while bow hunting deer in Pennsylvania.

Don't forget that in some areas wolves have been re-introduced and cause a lot of damage to herds of deer and cattle. I have no problem eliminating a pest, but take offense when one kills just to kill and not eat what they take. Again a pest like hogs, or coyotes or red squirrels, or the like, control their numbers, anything else, eat what you shoot. Yes, I have eaten what I shot even in self defense and having cleared pests out. Some of it is pretty tasty.

The real problem animals are human beings thinking they have to mess with nature to help out some poor endangered critter survive in the wild...In many parts of the country wild hogs are running amuck and breeding like crazy and are an extremely aggressive and very dangerous animal...One sow can give birth to three litters a year of between 3-5 piglets so you see where this can lead to in short order...

There are only 2 types of animal I fear in the south Georgia woods, Rattle Snakes and Hogs...Both will kill you but there literally 1000 times more hogs than snakes and they are smarter and faster than a man and will gang up and tear a man to pieces...

These hogs didn't get here by accident and many were brought in as game animals as were deer in Georgia at the turn of the 20th century...Now deer have become one of the most dangerious things an automobile driver has to try and watch out for but usually by the time you see them it's too late and a big deer can total a car and sometimes kill people trying to avoid them and hitting a tree...Deer have multiplied to the point that they don't have a habitat any longer and are living in peoples back yards in the surburbs...

The wild hogs are doing massive damage to the Georgia peanut crops and 4 or 5 hogs can wipe out a 10 acre field in just one night causing a total loss to the farmer and causing prices to go way up in the grocery stores...These animals are an extremely dangerous pest and must be eliminated and as much as I don't like to see an animal killed in this case it has become necessary...

In the Florida Everglades people and wildlife officers are seeing an invasion of 10 foot Burmese Pythons living in peoples houses all because some numb nuts bought a pet that got too big then let them go in the wild to breed and cause an explosion of a species not indigenous to the area and have to be captured and killed all because of that most dangerous animal "The Human"...

You don’t need to hit a tree to be killed by a deer. We’ve had several incidents here in Maryland over the last few years where a car hit a deer & the deer came through the windshield & decapitated the drivers.

Yep, Florida is a non-indigenous wasteland. Parrots, iguanas, marine toads, pythons, tropical fish, and even anacondas turned loose and taking over other native animals' niche. Man sure can screw stuff up quickly. If a 12 foot Burmese pythin can eat a 6 foot gator (and did.... no net myth in that), imagine what a big old 23 foot female could do. They will rise above gators in the food chain in no time.

As for killing hogs, that's some good eating. I say shoot them and donate them to someone that would love some good old pork. They are starting to move westward from GA and north from S. AL into my neck of the woods. I got a 629 with porky's name on it. Open season year-round here.

As for deer, heck we need wolves or some kind of predators in Alabama to control their population. Man wiped all those predators out as well, bears, red wolf, cougars. Hunters aren't making a dent in the white tail population. Luckily, I am getting more calls and reports of bear and lions.
