First time hunting

You're seriously bringing up this topic on the animal rights board?! Get /out/

>>2264350
Last time I checked, this board is labeled as "Animals and Nature" not "Animal rights" and I'm pretty sure that hunting encompasses both animals and nature.

/an/ is pro-hunting

First off anon, are you going alone? If so I don't recommend it for your first hunt. It's just not safe. Secondly check your state and county conservation website. It lists information on population, terrain and hunting restrictions. I'm assuming your hunting deer. Look up and study what a good shot is and isnt. Second study how to gut and clean the animal. Arm length gloves. Bring them. You'll thank me

Lots of sitting quietly and waiting. Don't expect to get anything. Hell you may not even see anything worthwhile. Don't bring pets with you if you're bow hunting; you'll probably need to get too close to the animal and it may smell your dog. Also don't soak your dog in urine scents and shit, it takes so long for it to come out. If you want to bring a dog, make sure it's very well trained and able to sit still and quiet for long periods. Also, most dogs flip out from the sound of guns if they aren't used to it.

Pain suffering and death are all part of nature. Killing some animals like deer is actually beneficial to the environment because it counters other things people have done, like wiping out all of their natural predators.

/an/ is not one person with one view

>>2264340

Animals don't even pay taxes and you're trying to give them rights? kys you commie faggot

>>2264567
/an/ as a whole either supports hunting or is indifferent. The few who are against it are vocal to the point of being stubborn and foolish. In truth these people have thrown tantrums that cause people to go the opposite, PETA fags are a great example of this.

Please buy all required tags and permits. Much information about native wildlife is gained from annual animal harvests.
Please be respectful to the easily offended and cover your kill. One person bitching about a hunters deer hanging out of his truck on Facebook can cause quite the shitstorm. Nevermind the fact a carcass on the side of the road is no different, just be the bigger person and use a tarp.
If you have never been hunting before, especially deer, then go with someone who has experience. A multitude of bad things can happen such as injury to yourself, illness from improperly handling game, and unnecessary suffering of the animal you are hunting. This sport is defiantly one where you want hands on experience before you just go inawoods and shoot bambi.

Both the OP and the first post are satire.
