LifeNRA Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Re: DEER ARE GETTIN STUPID!!!!!!!! [ QUOTE ] little snow bird at 65 yds [/ QUOTE ] I can see the fishing bobber season and the nickle season , but I didnt know there was a snow bird season!!! You got to remember its still a life, plus the anti's might come in here for their ammo. You might have just gave them some! Me personally, I dont think its right shooting wildlife just for the heck of it or if the seaon on it is closed(i.e. crows)! Stick to just shooting inanmate objects!!!

dogdoc Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Re: DEER ARE GETTIN STUPID!!!!!!!! I will be the first to admit I don't care what the anti's think or say--nothing in here is going to give them more ammo. Saying that---I have never understand why people like to kill song birds. Growing up I had friends that just loved to kill any bird with their pellet guns. I could never do that--to just kill for the fun of it! todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Re: DEER ARE GETTIN STUPID!!!!!!!! All I am going to say is, any ETHICAL hunter will not shoot any game if its not in season! Some states also never have an open season on birds like that! You could be fined for this! So whats the point? Yes, when we were young, we probably shot tweety birds with our BB guns, I did! But now that I am older I wished now I wouldnt have! Ok maybe the anti's wont use this, but I was a liitle ticked to hear that he killed a song bird!!! BTW, welcome to the forums JohnSWA!

Hillbilly Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Re: DEER ARE GETTIN STUPID!!!!!!!! I know a lot of older men that will sit aorund and should Cardinals and alll the other birds because they ahvent seen a deer. I know people who will take a shotgun with a slug in it and blow little chipmunks and squrriels away. I think if your gonna shoot squrriels while hunting they should be with the right ammo. You should respect the game you are hunting and not blowing it to Egypt and back. I have a friend that will go hunting for cottontails with a slug barrel on his shotgun and basically will leave the remains of the rabbit there. I know a lot of people will take high powered Rifles in the woods here in Indiana. Indiana has no rifle season except BlackPowder. They have so many trophies killed with Illegal weapons. Makes me sick. Told one off a couple of years ago, that those mounts shouldn't be on his wall. Anti's feed off of this like a gasoline on a barnfire. This is why they are still around. And for the songbirds being shot, dude get a life... Those birds are there for a purpose, like you and me. They are there to wake up the morning while we are in a treestand in the dark. So you need to shoot what you went to your location to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Re: DEER ARE GETTIN STUPID!!!!!!!! No problem! Even now my nephew wanted to shoot a song bird the last time out and I asked him why? He said just the heck of it! I then started to explain to him why I think it wasnt a good idea. He excepted my reason and I think it made him a little more mature! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuZZyMomentZ Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Re: DEER ARE GETTIN STUPID!!!!!!!! Okay i'll admit it.. when I was way younger and I was just starting to fine tune my hunting skillz I shot a song bird or 300 with a pellet gun. But then I ask you this.. a sweet part of the kill is to get to see that animal up close right? Well after many a close inspection.. from chickadees to robins my song bird slayin days are over.. I just stick to game that is in season now. Except for armadillos!! I see the debate though... umm I prolly shouldn't be saying this either.. try a bass assassin and go fishing for robins... now that's fun!! (no hook of course!)

Guest huntinsanobsession Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Re: DEER ARE GETTIN STUPID!!!!!!!! shooting an animal out of season isn't going to give the anti's anymore amo with the break out of people getting shot in the woods they have all the "ammo" they need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Re: DEER ARE GETTIN STUPID!!!!!!!! Song birds are protected and illegal to shoot here in Canada. Sounds like your gun is sighted in now so good luck to you. You know, that's what's good about this board. All the members in here voice their personal opinions, as well as pointing out legalities, ethics and responsibility that we all must share equally, in order for our way of life to survive in this changing world. It's like getting a fitness examination when we make a post in here....and I personally think that is a very good thing. When I was young, I shot my fair share of small birds too, just for target practice. I had no idea it was illegal to shoot some species at the time. We need to educate or youth hunters to be more responsible and if that means confrontation in a forum such as this about something you need to change or be more responsible about, then this forum is doing it's job, not only as a place to come and share our stories, photos and ideas, but also a place to get educated.

VermontHunter Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Re: DEER ARE GETTIN STUPID!!!!!!!! I can proudly and honestly say I have never shot anything that I couldn't eat, except the targets of course. The fiber in that is just way to bland for me to hack.

VermontHunter Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Re: DEER ARE GETTIN STUPID!!!!!!!! OK I'm going to step out on the very flimsy limb on this one...... Quote "some of these tv channels tlakin bout bears and all how they lettin them roam in area where there are children. lets see children or animals. thats a weight tipper! " Not that children aren't important that was just a lame statement. If people didn't incroach on all of the natural habit of bears or even most animals statements such as the one you posted wouldn't even be an issue...as for god putting animals here for us to kill. I think the intent of god was for us to enjoy them and they are a necessary part of the food chain...Oh ! Man ! The two no, no's in this one religon and politics..GEEZE... I think I need not go any farther with this one. If I upset some one with this I'm sure I'll hear it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Re: DEER ARE GETTIN STUPID!!!!!!!! Have had a few occasions here after shooting a target behind the house and even a few times a bobcat or coyote or another deer while out hunting and have had deer actually come out in the field or into the area of the woods I am hunting pretty quickly after shooting. Think they are terribly confused here right now. Crazy weather this season has made for a really poor rut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
