    When I was in the military it was not considered a "female" duty to go through any combat training - self defense but not combat. Now of course females do go through the same training as the men. "..... since their habitat is all but gone and modern farming practices leave no room for...

    I tried watching a hunting program once - the hunter, who was also narrating and one would assume a proficient hunter seeing as he was on TV, used a bow & arrow on a moose. The first bounced off, the second wounded it enough to run off - the hunter found it dead sometime later :( As for the...

    Yoghurt screams :eek: Now what will I eat :( LOL Agreed to virtually everything you stated above - but today we have humane ways to kill - bows & arrows :confused: Surely just playing "cowboys & indians" :confused: Does a hunter not want "a quick, clean kill" does that not mean in a...

    ROFL - :D You see I understand about stalking and killing to put food on the plate - agreed man has always done that. But to put food down or a food plot so that the deer or whatever come to you is not "hunting". The deer or whatever found food enough without the need for hunter...

    GoDaddy CEO Shot Female Elephant, Not Bull

    Agreed that mankind has hunted since time immemorial, but not in the numbers that they are now. Baited hunts IMO are really wrong - where is the "sport" or the "spirit of the hunt" with a known kill at the the end? Or baited hunts with drugged animals - for the not so brave hunter. :mad...
