Not sure where the hate to lose thing came from. When I was younger and still had knees that worked I ran 10k's and played racquetball which is fairly competitive. And last season I didn't get a deer at all even though I hunted often. Guess you would say I lost. I would say that's hunting. Certainly the deer have a better chance than the cow or pig whose meat graces the supermarket cold section.
When I do harvest a deer (with a rifle now) I clean and process and eat it. How about you?

maybe he hates to starve and doesnt want to buy drug and hormone filled meat at his store, adn dont say anything about organic meat, it don't get no more organic than venison. I odnt understand the hate for hunters, you know how the animals were treated before they hit the shelf at your store? How is that less worse than hunting? You anti-gun hunting nuts run on pure emotion because you are scared to death.

I'm sure you had a perfect shot every time. And if by chance you actually did, although I highly doubt it, I would bet anything that 90% of the time it ends up exactly the opposite of what you said.
Sorry you had to resort to hunting because you suck at every other sport! Can't handle sports that have an opponent because you hate to lose?

You are right, you are not an expert. I have taken numerous deer with an arrow and they have died within 20 seconds. Unlike the buck I hit with a my car that would have suffered a long time with only broken back legs except I killed it with an arrow. Or the doe waiting for the cops to come to put it out of it's misery on Glenwood Avenue while everyone drove by except the people that called it in after they hit it.

My cousin hunts his own land, so no license, but at most about $40 if needed. Rifle/shotgun about $300-$400, lasts for generations. My shotgun is about 36 years old, so about $8 a year so far. My rifle is older, cheaper, and was given to me. Ammo is a few bucks (pun intended). So pretty cheap. Those that do it for food are pretty economical. These aren't African safaris.
"how many of those were in Wake Forrest" - Grand Union
More than your "ocassional" claim.
"If you have insurance why wouldn't you report it?" - Grand Union
Let them eat cake, eh? Not everyone drives a BMW with comp/collis insurance. And sometimes damage is less than deduct.

Weakest response of yours ever. You know nothing of the American Sportsmen. You aere typical immigrant who thinks things should be like they are in the country you ran away from. You are just scared of people who own guns hunt and can take care of themselevs. You have been coddled by the Nanny State for so long you cant believe that people dont need government for everything.
Crumps Br0ther February 21, 2013 12:21 p.m. That... was... AWESOME!!!

LOl, it would be fun to add up how much they spend to "do it for the food"
""In 2009 through 2011, there were 61,046 such collisions reported in North Carolina, including 17 fatalities." - YeaOh
and how many of those were in Wake Forrest and might be reduced by having Bubba killing bambi in someones backyard?
"Over SIXTY THOUSAND??!!! Wonder how many weren't reported?"
If you have insurance why wouldn't you report it?
