Just curious why you were against hunting...???

I own many guns from shotguns to rifles to hand guns. Had my first BB gun at 3 years old and have been hunting since, started sleeping on the floor of my dads box stand not sure how much help i was but hey i was there. I love to hunt any animal that has a season and varmit hunt when I can but mostly duck hunt.

Oh and I target shoot when i can to from long range to pistol ranges to clay pigeon ranges

I have some guns I like to hunt with and others I like to target shoot with. So I enjoy both.

I beat a woodchuck damn near to death with a stick as a child, and it bothered me for YEARS... We were about 150' from eachother, we stared at eachother and it took off and I ran him down, beat him with a stick and picked up a 5 lbs weight (dumbbell) and smashed it down on his leg so he couldn't walk...

Wife & I both hunt, Bow & Gun, Mostly Deer & Turkey, I have hunted, goose, rabbit, quail, dove, squirrel, and Bear, leaving in 5 days on another Bear Hunt in New Brunswick, CA
Hunting is part of our lifestyle, and the Jeep fits our lifestyle perfect, can't believe this is my first one, should've got one 20 years ago.

I have a a few guns at the house. I don't get much out of hunting with them anymore. All my hunting is done with my bow. There are times I will be in the stand wishing I had brought my gun though, due to the animal being out of bow range. I hunt deer, turkey, hogs and whatever else I can stick with an arrow

Yup......that'll do it for sure. I remember as a kid killing a blue jay because it was squawking too loud and didn't want it to wake my mother. That bothered me for a long time as well. There are always a few things that all of us do that we aren't too proud of.

I only hunt with my gsp,and watching the dog is more thrilling than the kill.

Hunting over a good dog takes on a whole new dimension to the sport ...
