There is even a person at a church, a person that sits in the pulpit that "hunts" I really don't consider that a real Christan when you fucking hunt.
not a real Christan??? for fucking hunting a animal? think about this, O.K.??? why did god give us teeth to eat meat? why did he give us a stomach that allows us to digest meat? why is it that meat is not posin to our bodies?? why did god, put animals on the earth in the first place? why did he give us the power to kill them?

your stament is total BULL SHIT....

anyways... i havent been out hunting yet... im Native American, and my tribal traditions are you go out hunting for you first large game animal when you are 14, and the other tribe i belong to, its 16...so... hopefully this year i will attleast get to go out for the late deer season... but since my dad dosent really want anything to do with me, he wont take me out... and my uncles are all working... if i dont get to go out hunting this year, im going to be really bummed out...

In our traditon, you dont go out hunting for the biggest deer/elk you can find, you go out for the animal that will feed your family until the next time its needed... so since its just me and my mom (and my brothers and sisters occasionaly) we wont need a big deer this year... and you use every part of the animal possible... bones... hearts, livers... and anything else...

now... i completly dis agree with trophy hunting... thats a whole different story... if i hear some one crying around, because they didnt see a big enuf deer, so they didnt shoot anything, i get pissed off...

and another thing that i disagree with is when people sit in tree stands all day long with a 30-06 with a scope that can see the color of a cats eye, 12345678900987654321 yards away... its just a load of shit... i mean, sure, i dont plan on going out my first year, and using a bow to shoot a deer... i plan on using a rifle... most likely, ill use my grandpas .270 winchester (the last time i heard, the smallest rifle you can use for big game) and im sure as hell aint putting a scope on the damn thing, i grew up around hunters, and gun lovers... i was taught how to shoot a gun by my dad who was a fire arm instructer for the United States Marine Corps.... meaning he could shoot better then most people you will ever meet... and he taught other people how to shoot that good... and he taught me how to... and i know i can shoot as far as my eye can see... and be within centimeters of what i was aiming for..

anyways... im glad to see that there are other hunters around, who actually hunt for dinner and not just for the fuck of it... for our family... its a way of life.. not just a game...
