I'm with you on this. Unless you are hunting with your bare hands, there is no sport to hunting. Okay, maybe if the animal has rather large teeth or claws you can use a knife. I don't have anything against it, have hunted myself, have "cleaned" various animals, just don't call it a sport.

I don't see an issue with killing an animal like a deer as long as you eat it and dont just kill it as a trophy. Killing a deer and gutting it is in no way a problem for me.

As played out as it sounds, deer are extremely overpopulated in many areas and have almost no natural predators. Hunting helps to thin the population a little bit and is somewhat of a necessity... Plus its fun and its a good getaway for a few hours.

I'm not from Alabama so don't even start with the stereotypes.
I could care less if people hunt..... i was just saying that I am not manly enough to hunt or especially to gut the "still warm - was breathing 5 minutes ago" animal.

I eat meat, chicken, turkey, etc..... so this wasn't supposed to be a "don't hunt" thread...... more like a "that's gross sticking your hand inside a dead animal" thread.

I couldn't do it but my wife can pluck and clean a chicken. She hasn't done it since we got married but she knows how to do it.

Scot, aren't you supposed to be reading a book or something for the next week?

Think of it more like "harvesting" the deer instead of hunting it. There really is no sport to it, espcecially not with firearms. Maybe with a bow, but much. If there weren't any hunting, the deer would die horrible deaths by starvation or disease over the winter, and there would be a whole lot more deer/vehicle encounters.

We should hunt people to thin out the population.

Do you put more value on the big one's like you do deer, or on the smaller one because they're quick and harder to hit, so it's more of a sport?
