[loli phabay]

5. i use my kids saves me from doing it.

Got crap loads of beets and tomatoes this morning so a caning and pickling i go.

[Behind the Aegis]

3. I don't hunt.

The only shooting I do of wildlife is with my camera.

[loli phabay]

6. cool. though im not into pics of the millions of squirrels and rabbits around here

And woodchucks are jjst ugli

[Behind the Aegis]

7. I find them interesting.

We have a variety of things to take pictures of here in OK, but not woodchucks...to my knowledge. You want ugly? Ever seen a nutria?! Saw them all the time when we lived in New Orleans. Hideous!

[loli phabay]

8. i gkt so many woodchucks its an infestation

Last year we got 57 of them. This year they are more manageable and we have only bagged 5. Though they now have been repalced by rabbits ga2d knows what it will be next year giant spiders or something.

[Behind the Aegis]

9. Do you eat them?

[loli phabay]

10. we did for a while then the kids refused though my neighbour did all year

This year he took all the ones we got. Though we so far this year we are not fed up with rabbit yet. Kinda hope some wild beef kinda wanders onto my property

[lumberjack_jeff]

11. No I don't, but the deer that ate my peas is making me reconsider. n/t

[Broderick]

12. Got a possum that likes to tease my dogs

Thought about it, but I let him alone. He rarely makes an appearance. Smart enough to stay on the other side of the fence and just mess with the dogs now and then. My only hunting is shooing him away, well beyond smashing a spider here and there or swatting a fly. I mass murder ants too.

[Warren DeMontague]

13. You mean rabbiTs, right?

[Upton]

14. My target species?

I don't know man..sounds to me like you're getting just a little too much enjoyment out of killing wildlife. Unless, of course, the animals your taking are all being eaten or are considered invasive species in your part of the country, then I understand..

I guess we're all different. The only animals I trap on my property are feral cats..

15. MAN: THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

34. Hemingway said:

"Certainly there is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter."

Commentary on the Hemingway quote by the late Carlos N. Hathcock, GySgt USMC, retired (Sniper): "He got that right, It was the hunt, not the killing."

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

35. BTW....

Is that from the twilight zone??

[Warren DeMontague]

36. I googled "The Most Dangerous Game"

http://igloooftheuncanny.blogspot.com/2010/04/most-dangerous-game-1932.html

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

37. Nice Fay Wray on that page.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. Out of curiosity: What do you consider the relevance of this thread to be, to the Men's Group?

[ret5hd]

17. Don't you consider hunting and trapping to be the manliest of sports, old chap?

Yeah, neither do I.

[Warren DeMontague]

21. No.

But really, my crieteria for what makes a sport "manly" is probably the degree-to-which it can be engaged in by men, and only men, which would probably put competetive beard-growing and Puppetry of the Penis-style genitalia contortions near the top of the list.

[loli phabay]

29. for me its probuably hunting, big game fishing and bare kuckle boxing for the most manly of sports

[Warren DeMontague]

31. competitive weaving

[Bonobo]

23. Glad you asked that. I was about to.

And I'm not even going to MENTION that he said he likes to hunt rabbis.

[loli phabay]

28. crap it was meant to be rabbits, my phone for some reason changes it to rabbis.

[caseymoz]

38. Send it to damnyouautocorrect.com nt

[lumberjack_jeff]

24. Many men hunt.

I don't, but there are many DU'ers who do.

If discussion is limited to only topics that interest ALL of us and about which no difference of opinion exists, it might get kind of boring.

But yeah, I don't think Rabbis are ever in season.

[Warren DeMontague]

25. Oh, yeah, and FWIW I have no interest or intent in shutting it down.

More since the question was asked me, I thought I would pass it along for information-gathering purposes.

[Kaleva]

26. Because a big majority of those who hunt or commit crimes with guns are men?

[loli phabay]

27. well i figured it might be something that some men are interested in. hence in the mens group

[Warren Stupidity]

18. I hunt Snark.

To seek it with thimbles, to seek it with care;
 To pursue it with forks and hope;
To threaten its life with a railway-share;
 To charm it with smiles and soap!
“For the Snark’s a peculiar creature, that won’t
 Be caught in a commonplace way.
Do all that you know, and try all that you don’t:
 Not a chance must be wasted to-day!

[ElboRuum]

19. No. n/t

[Broken_Hero]

20. I hunted a few times

when I was younger, but not real hunting persay....More like skiff hunting, with a prayer.

[MrSlayer]

22. I hunt moon elves, svirfneblin and displacer beasts.

But my main targets are other drow.

[Broken_Hero]

30. Don't forget the

Duerger and the Ilithids...those bastards are tough. Easiest animal to hunt/kill is by far Rothe.

[MrSlayer]

32. Duergar make fine slaves.

In spite of their general foulness. It's better to keep them than kill them. Mind Flayers are big game hunting indeed. Best to have psionic protection if you're going that route. You no more need to hunt rothe than you would a surface cow. Unworthy of accepting any accolades for them.

[Broken_Hero]

33. I once went

Storm Giant hunting....I don't recommend it. I like BugBears, and Gnoll hunting though, but they are to easy to track...they smell godawful.
