[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2277033, member: 109862"] No disrespect intended the op…but this should be titled “who here is a “real hunter” according to me?” I shot a deer and even ate the thing last November (well the eating part took longer than just November but…). I’m a real hunter. some take issue with trophy hunters and say it’s not hunting Some take issue with those who use bait Some take issue with those who use trail cams Some take issue with those who shoot beyond 100 yards Some take issue with those who aren’t at least 8 miles away from any road when hunting Some take issue with those who use anything bigger than a .30-06 Some take issue with those who use semi autos of any kind all I take issue with is inconsiderate hunting (inhumane killing, not making every effort to retrieve a wounded animal, unsafe practices like idiots shooting into the bush because they thought they might have saw something, trespassing and littering and crap like that) There’s enough non hunters taking issue with hunting and gun ownership in general….let’s not be needlessly dividing ourselves into real hunters vs whatever you image others who aren’t as hardcore as you but still kill and eat to be. Gotta stick together. On a final note, none of us using such modern luxuries as firearms and vehicles are that hardcore, not “real hunters”…we know we’ll eat today whether we kill or not, and we use modern tech to make it easy. There are still hunter/gatherer tribal people who kill or starve, and use bows, spears, sticks, stones, traps, nets, etc…. If one of these types said I wasn’t a real hunter I would absolutely respect the verdict. No one on here is one of these… [/QUOTE]
