Reading these posts one gets the impression that in order to be a fan of hunting you must be illiterate. You would make more convincing arguments if you could spell and use proper grammar.

I know that Steve has a point, but I was just lost looking for it. Hunters do so much more than take game for themselves. I have hunted and still do by the way. I have learend more about my quarry than the local PETA organizer. Why can not these people learn to love nature and live people to enjoy life the way they choose. I am not portesting their right to eat vegetables, by the way another living organism. Vegans choose to live their way,andI choose to live my way. Vegetables are a wonderful compliment to back straps!

10 Questions for STEVE:
One: Have you considered that the tired points may be true (seeing that you provide no evidence against them)?
Two: Have you ever went hunting?
Three: Do you understand that the pros of regulated hunting outweigh the cons?
Four: I can find a picture of a tortured deer and post it online with a “FOR ANIMAL RIGHTS AD”, but does this mean that that one picture is a good representation for the treatment of animals from every hunter, or even the majority of hunters?
Five: Do you realize that by saying the phrase”I know plenty of hunters to know that they get their rocks off on killing”, you offend the many hunters (like me) who do not get some SICK GRATITUDE in gutting a deer?
Six: Are you willing to risk the human lives of those who still ‘live off the land’ by supporting the end of regulated hunting?
Seven: Do you realize that your suggestions are unrealistic, because it would cost much more economically expensive to provide “Female Deer Infertility Darts” to the conservation, rather than allowing hunting?
Eight: Do you realize that we respect the deer because we kill them (whether right or wrong) and don’t kill them because we respect them? In other words, no one would pay to support the regulation of the population unless they were benefitting. Sorry it’s human nature (atleast for the majority of the world population).
Nine: Do you believe that it is realistically convienient to call PETA or the Conservation everytime five or six deer are munching on your field crop (ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME FOR MANY FARMERS)?
Ten: Did you know that, disregarding religious views, hunting has been a key source of food from the nomadic people of yesterday, to the civilized people of today and that more animal types have become extinct do to humans’ industrial impact on the environment, than the need to hunt?

I disagree that you did any great research here…you’re just proffering the same old tired points and ignoring better arguments against hunting.
Sir, hunting strikes a sour chord with decent people because it’s sick to enjoy killing animals, whether it’s done for the sake of food or not. Don’t even try to tell me that hunters love animals more than anti-hunters…I’ve known plenty of hunters, and most of them get their rocks off on the killing. They then come up with excuses to justify the hunt, like you have here, such as donating the meat to the poor, reducing overpopulation, etc.
Telling me to appreciate hunters because they pay to conserve habitat so they can shoot certain animals is absurd. They could pay to conserve/restore that same habitat, and then fund a humane method of animal control, such as medicated darts to deer to render females infertile for periods of time. Waterfowl eggs can be addled before the hen starts incubation, instead of shooting drakes from the sky. Developers should be discouraged from plunking down communities that displace animals, which you then call “nuisance” populations that need to be thinned out.
