What constitutes hunting then?

>>837275

>>837307
Fair chase

>>837275
>>837307
It's one or two trolls stirring shit.

>>837552
Fair chase is idiotic. If you are going to harvest an animal is should be done as quickly and efficiently as possible. Fair chase means you want to drag it out as long as possible to enjoy the act. You don't use 'fair chase' to spend half a day chasing a cow around a field pretending it has a chance to escape with it's life, you just kill the damn thing.

The only thing fair chase accomplishes it to prolong the act of killing. If that is what you care about then PETA is right and all you are is a sadist. On the other hand if you just want to kill it as quickly as possible to harvest it then you are being a responsible game harvester.

Because they're fucking losers

I feel bad for people that feel the need to harass others

>>839092
I'm not sure that you know what fair chase means.

>>837275
because a lot of people on out are backyard warriors who didn't grow up with hunting or any /out/ activities, but want to play action man.

>>839092
>enjoying the feeling of being the most dominant life form on this planet is morally wrong

>Nigger, to even discuss morality is to celebrate your superiority over the animal kingdom
This. Also on a similar note, white guilt is a concept that only affects white people because every race is racist as hell, and tried to conquer the world as cruelly as possible. It's only whites that are criticized for it, and the ideals of racial equality that European nations mock America for not fulfilling are inherently American-made ideals that they're using to judge us.

We really need a separate board for hunting/fishing/trapping. The mods here do nothing to stop the spamming and trolling, they ignore it so much i honestly believe that the main PETA troll is a mod.

If had a separate /hunt/ board we could get some of the mods from /k/ to mod it, those guys are used to dealing with anti gun trolls so i am sure they could handle the PETA jackasses easily.

>>837275
Because it's dickassery to go out and kill something that don't need to be killed just to make a buck.

There are two different mind sets here that will never agree. Free speech cuts both ways; mods must understand that.

>>841340
>>841320
I don't see why it would be a problem, /tg/ got a /quest/ board for a absurdly specific type of roleplaying. /hunt/ would have far more users than that or dozens of other boards that i can think of and i'm sure getting a few mods from /k/ would not be an issue.

How do we go about making the request though?

>>841347
/tg/ got /quest/ because they went from being one or two threads to 25-40% of the board at all times. Hunting threads are maybe a handful of threads on /k/ and /out/ combined at any one time. Hell, /quest/ already has half the posts /out/ has gotten, and /out/ had a three fucking year lead on it and it was about all /out/doors activities combined. You aren't going to get a hunting board just because you want it, if that happened every tom, dick, and faggot would be whining and crying for their own special board for whatever niche subject or recurring troll thread they couldn't get started on their home board. Tough shit, deal with it faggot.

>>841347
maybe because /out/ is slow as shit as is and hunting is a far more legitimate topic to discuss than urbex and homeless threads that are constantly up? if you don't like it you're free to fuck off. it took long enough for /out/ to get made only for it to get flooded with reddit transplants that bitch about anything hunting/firearm related.

They weren't made because some faggot whined about how it was unfair that a hunting forum didn't have ching chong shit boards, they were made because that's what the faggots who made this site wanted it to be. You aren't going to get a fucking hunting board because you are boo hooing about how you don't like that other people disagree with you on this board and need a special space. If that upsets you you are welcome to fuck off to another forum or found your own shitty chan all about whatever faggot shit you are into.

Guess what dumbass? Urbex, homeless threads and reddit are all that is left here due to trolls and the asshats like you who promote and tolerate them. You and your reddit PETA pals are the ones that need to fuck off, you are the cancer killing /out/ and the primary reason half the board wants a separate place to talk about real outdoors topics.

You see it's a lose lose situation, this is why we need /hunt/. Live to hunt, hunt to live and respect to my Ted Nugent blood brother right... >>841340 here.

>>841433
Correct, they aren't outdoorsmen. Half the non hunting/fishing/trapping threads that are not urbex or homeless threads are about people watching TV shows or youtube, not about actually doing anything /out/ related.

People who never leave the suburbs don't need to shit up /out/ by making threads about their favorite fake staged reality show, that is what /tv/ is for.

>>841562
When I go kill an elk this December, I'll be taking an AR-10 chambered in 260 Rem. At the altitude that I'll be hunting, the bullet will remain supersonic out past 1800 yards. That makes hitting something at half that distance fairly easy, given that it is not windy. That is neither fair to the elk, nor is it much of a chase, but it is still hunting.

People that hate hunting have NEVER read through state hunting regulations. A particular antler pattern? Can't shoot it. Can't confirm antler pattern from 400 yards? Can't shoot it. Also, you can only shoot one per year, during a specific time, after taking classes and provding for proper legal documentation. You have to use a specific caliber and rifle as not to stress the animal as it bleeds out. Even with all of this, you must pay fees for conservation. If you kill something you shouldn't have, even on accident, you will be fined thousands of dollars and go to prison and never be allowed to own guns or hunt again.

But no, thise rednecks are just out there slaughtering helpless animals. Fuck, most hunters are likely massively more intelligent than anti-hunters. I could NEVER expect a liberal to be able to adhere to such strict rules.

What we need are a few mods from /k/ to keep down the trolling at the least, our own board at bestt. Our mods do jack shit, they are so ineffective that they are probably the ones doing the trolling in the first place.

>>841320
/hunt/ would have maybe four users, it would be slower than /out/. As we saw with 8ch, splintering boards into very specific topics does not create better discussions. Better to ignore the PETAfags or ban them for shitposting.

>>841633
I assure you it would have plenty of users, there are a shitload of hunters who post on /k/ but not here due to the trolling.

>Better to ignore the PETAfags

Impossible to ignore 50+ images spamming a thread and making it unreadable..

>or ban them for shitposting.

But they don't get banned, the mods ignore them no matter how much you report it. Look at this shit:

>>834107

The troll has been getting reported for A WEEK AND A HALF and nothing happens. We cannot ban trolls when it is obvious that the moderators are siding with them. How the hell are we supposed to use a board that the moderators are deliberately allowing to be made unusable?

As for being slow, check out /po/.
There is origami topics threads that have been there over a year. Still a cool board and some interesting stuff to see.

I'm going to post a thread on skinning rattlesnakes- because the internet sucks for good info on how to really do it.

/out/ /k/ /an/ all seem like viable options.

The PETA crowd on /an/ will flip their shit as usual.

/k/ will give it one bump and everybody else will be in a 200 post thread about why 1:7 twist is better tha1:9.

/out/will have the same /an/ posters who will complain in between posting in threads about who the cutest model in the new LL bean catalog is.

that's not going to happen considering for a good while any and all firearm related threads on /out/ would get deleted before falling off page 10 due to all the retards crying in them and reporting them.

best way to improve /out/? prohibit urbex and homeless threads. that will get rid of the majority of leftist teenagers fucking up the board. urbex is illegal as it's trespassing so i suggest reporting those threads every time you see them. homeless threads are off topic, again, report them every time you see them.

An excellent argument for why there needs to be a hunting/fishing/trapping board. A thread about choosing a hunting rifle or buying your first hunting bow is a perfectly legitimate topic, the fact that they constantly get deleted is yet more evidence that the moderators are just as big of a problem as the trolls are.

That is the key point of the problem, the trolls and the mods are effectively (or literally) the same people and the same problem.

>>841329
It is illegal to market hunt many places and fur prices are so terribly low that no one traps for profit anymore. In the past, many farm children trapped on their time off to afford small luxuries that their parents could/ would not buy them.

>>841670
what needs to be done is that riff raff needs to be disposed of. i can assure you that the same people that post the urbex and homeless threads and keep them alive are the people that troll in hunting/firearm related threads.

You associate big and strong with bad and evil. You also have noticed the pattern that big and strong people are completely not like you, and are often hunters. So now you reach hunters are big and evil simply because you are too insecure to be in the same room as a certain type of man, that statistically does more for the environment and society than you will EVER do from your city studio apartment.

Hunters dont care about wildlife, they care about killing. Animal welfare is a secondary thought, an excuse, a reason to kill, not something they actually care for.

In his 1933 book Game Management, Aldo Leopold, one of the pioneers of wildlife management as a science, defined it as "the art of making land produce sustained annual crops of wild game for recreational use".

Let biologists manage wildlife,not hunters who have no proof of being able to even aim a rifle, who have a personal investment in making wildlife management suit their own desires.

When I got my hunting license the instructor told us to not do headshots for this exact reason. You can hit the durr in the muzzle, it runs away, can't eat and starve to death. Always aim for the heart. The odds of killing it is better then.

This animal was shot by a bad hunter, and the hunter deserves criticism. But a good hunter knows better than to make crappy shots like that.

>>841772

>hunters who have no proof of being able to even aim a rifle
every year I have to go to a firing range and shoot 30 rounds on targets, then pass a test where I need to get 5 rounds on target in one go, in order to hunt with rifles

Fair chase refers to the propriety of the method used, not the efficacy of said method, and it's not universal. Someone obsessed with primitive hunting might not personally consider anything but spot-and-stalk with a stickbow or a spear "fair chase" and regard anything as a trophy but someone who lives in the midwest, somewhere infested with deer, might consider blasting deer from a tree stand as they nibble at a food plot "fair chase" just because the property he's hunting isn't high-fenced and he's not using artificial attractants. Defining "fair chase" is like defining "obscenity" - you know it when you see it.

>>841746
you realize this happens because a lot of states don't have a rifle season due to morons like you, right?

Hunters "help" the most because its the only way things can work. If we let things happen properly, by letting trained professionals manage wildlife populations, we wouldn't need hunters. But hunters would rather start a revolution than let their right to kill for recreation be taken away. Hunters are totally in control, they skew all wildlife management and they have lobbyists to push their agenda in government. That's why things like canned live pigeon shoots are still legal in hick dominated places like Pennsylvania

Pretty much any method of hunting is less traumatic than a "natural" death. I'd rather get shot and stumble around in shock for ten or twenty seconds than fucking starve to death or get ripped apart by coyotes or an alligator or something after breaking an ankle.

It's not about that, it's about how it disrupts the extant thread. Discussions like that inevitably take over the entire fucking thread and drown out the original discussion, which is my point. I don't give a shit if people make half a dozen anti-hunting or "arguing about hunting" threads to every pro-hunting threads so long as the aforementioned anti-hunting threads don't disrupt the pro-hunting threads.

>>841900
And what is critique?
Calling them a "fucking pyscho"?
Saying " their main hobby in life is killing small animal's"?
Or saying "nobody cares how hard it is for you to legally murder"?


That's not a discussion.

I think that what's important in hunting is the attitudes one brings to it. If you treat the woods as nothing more than your personal lumber factory or meat corral, or if you hunt for the same pleasure that psychopathic children get when torturing cats, then there's obviously something that's a bit deplorable about you. If you do it respectfully, as a way of fulfilling an ecological covenant that ensures the giving of one life for the eventual giving of yours, then let's track down some moose. In my own pompous language, I like to give the former type the name of "worldeater". Luckily, I've only hunted with two of them out of the dozens I've gone out with in the past decade or so. Attitudes vary from hunter to hunter, but most of the women & men that I've gone out with have a deep reverence & love for the land, in ways that city dwellers rarely understand. As long as they don't deeply believe in that Genesis 1:26 "dominion" bullshit (which is probably one of the main reasons why the current environmental crisis even exists), then hunters are usually pretty chill.

Miles Olson has a great book on the topic of compassionate hunting. For any of the animal rights folks who might have participated in this thread, I can guarantee that it provides a fresh perspective that's far more empathetic than the usual conservative ones.

Here's a GoodReads link:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18528306-the-compassionate-hunter-s-guidebook

The circle of life isn't holy, sentient beings killing sentient beings is not beautiful. The only way I can respect that attitude is if you have been a tribal hunter gatherer all your life. There's nothing compassionate about killing for the sake of your own nutritional or material gain... Give me a break. Respecting nature does not require killing things. The only compassionate killing is to prevent an animals suffering, and the context in which virtually all hunters hunt is not about that.

It's very difficult to talk about hunting without edgy faggots on both sides, both sides posting straight animal abuse and excessive gore, and derailing in general. I like to talk about hunting, especially overpopulated species and pests, and the best way to use as much of that animal as possible, and different ways to hunt and catch them.

I think /hunt/ would bring a lot of interest and show the /an/ crowd that its not only more humane than the industrialised meat complex they support, but a legit activity.

I'm still floored every time I see someone who's against hunting and actually says its unnecessary because we have meat in supermarkets. I honestly think its a symptom of the nanny state and entitlements- they don't need to do anything themselves because someone else will do it for them.

>>846706
Because (ostensibly) humans have the capacity to reason and understand that their actions create or mitigate suffering. While animals and nature in general cannot. While animals suffer in the wild, it really doesn't have a moral weight under most common ethics systems because there was never a choice to create that suffering. When a human creates suffering, that does have moral weight because it is a conscious choice by someone with the ability to think and act ethically.

>>846925
>think and act ethically
By, for instance, providing a quick death (responsible hunting) as opposed to supporting the cruelty that is factory farming (fast food, grocery stores)?

>>846972
Well for one thing a quick and clean death is not guaranteed, secondly while factory farming may cause more suffering, any individual act of forgoing it doesn't necessarily change anything. The likelihood of a domesticated animal used for meat suffering and dying to feed someone is all but guaranteed, where as the death/suffering of a wild hunted animal is ultimately up to the individual. Letting die is usually considered distinct from killing and some may see the latter as worse.

Anyways that's all hypothetical, as there are many moral viewpoints, any of which probably has another explanation. Just saying I could see how someone might think that.

Hey guys /K/ here, I'm enjoying the pics of piles of dead animals and especially the deer with arrows in the face, please keep them coming. Also being called psycho isn't insulting.

I have no issue with hunting shit and eating it. The only problem is that all the "avid" hunters I've ever met who pursue it as their main hobby are literal psychopaths who will admit to having tortured animals as kids and stealing/torturing/killing people's pets. These are the guys who mount heads on their walls and get stuff taxidermied. There's something very wrong inside them that they soothe by causing pain and taking life.

You have regular guys who hunt what's in season and enjoy venison and the like, and then you have "hunters" who are playing out their serial killer fantasies in a socially acceptable way.

I don't really see the argument. Hunting is not only tradition but part of peoples sustenance. I don't understand why people get so upset about it. If you don't like it, you don't have to participate. Its the same thing as owning an animal. You have to take care of it and when you commit immortal acts such as abuse, you're punished for it.

The shit with shooting and trapping wolves pisses me off though. I live up in the U.P. and the wolves are getting out of control. You can't have your dog out roaming your property without you and the deer are being run into the ground. The "big buck" last year near me was a 14 point that weighed 125lbs. They just can't get off the pressure.

So while I have to deal with the constant pressure of wolves, they keep passing local ordinances to kill coyotes down south because grandma Sue's cat got out and died to a yote. I honestly don't know how to explain it to people down there as they just don't understand. It must be the "as long as its not in my backyard" syndrome. Maybe they don't understand that wolves are apex predators. Either way its frustrating beyond belief.

In the end the main gripe is just being tied up and unable to manage the population to coexist with the human population too.

>bought my deer license onlinr last week

I'm gonna be upset if it's not here soon.

Fs2000 is the boat m8. XM8 is the fish.

Season opens on Saturday for me too bro. I'm excited for goose hunting since my dad gave me one of his 12 gauges.

Define hunting. It's taking non-aquatic game, and trapping is hunting.

>>841329
Tell that to every farmer, rancher, and commercial fisherman in the world.

>>841565
If you think a one shot kill at 900 yards is easy, or even doable, you are either a master shot, or a fool.

I suspect the latter. Particularly with a round that I doubt will deliver 700ft/lbs at that range.

It may be legal, but I doubt it's humane.

>>857532
I'd like to branch out eventually because I've only ever hunted white tail and ruffed grouse. Problem is I have nobody to go with to show me the ropes. This is only my third ever year of hunting.


I am gonna try ice fishing for the first time this year though.

As a hunter and a biologist, I hunt specifically because it's humane. I'd much rather be a deer killed instantly in the forest than a terrified cow smacked in the head with a hammer and ripped apart by minimum wage slaves in a factory, or torn to pieces while still alive by wolves.

You are an imbecile, and true compassion is beyond you.

>>841768
Civilized, and full of rapefugees. Where the cucks like you are forced to eat food slaughtered by the lowest bidder.

Spare me such civilization.

>>841757
What about the killer whales that actually toy with their prey before killing it? It's not uncommon in the aninal world. Your argument and picture are baseless and false.

>>857551
A cow nor deer care if they die humanely.

Stop applying human emotions to animals.if you really are a biologist.

>>844065
So, you're either a vegan or a hypocrite. Not that vegans aren't hypocrites.

Any animal I kill has been prevented from suffering a worse death, through disease, starvation, or predation by natural predators that have no quicker means of killing than teeth and claw, and no concern for the well-being of their prey.

Also, people as a whole have always hunted. It is our heritage, and will be our legacy.

Just because you don't have the emotional, spiritual, and physical or mental strength to humanely kill your prey doesn't mean no one does.

Honestly, your feeble mind is not the ultimate authority on anything, except your own inadequacies.

>>844065
If life isn't sacred, nothing is, particularly not your opinions.

Life is, all of it, always, at war. Every leaf is an attempt to take light another might, every root does it's best to keep others from the resources it needs. Look at how hemlocks grow patiently in the shade of spruce, winding around their trunks, sucking the nutrients and water right from among their roots, and tell me that's not brutal warfare.

The entirerty of existence is war, and only hunters try to be humane about it.

>>846925
That's why I hunt: to decrease the suffering necessary to sustain me. If you don't hunt, you're increasing that suffering cause you're too much of a pussy to do anything about it.

>>855462
You literally have no fucking idea what you're talking about. People keep trophies because they're beautiful, and remind them of the animal they hunted. I know no hunters that torture.

>>837275

Cause 90% of /out/ is autistic. They fight over every thing and just insult each other, then you see 20 threads about "tfw no qt13 gf to go /out/ with". Well no shit you got no women to go out with, you're all retards.

>>857558
While I'll never argue that a deer's appreciation of it's manner of death is the same as mine, it is plain and obvious that they prefer to not suffer.

In the end, being humane isn't about the animals. It's about humanity. I don't like to cause suffering, so I hunt humanely.

>>857563
Unnecessarily barbaric.
Life is sacred and should be perserved.
you arenot respecting life by killing.*
*unless hunting invasive species

>>857624
What if I just don't give a fuck and do it because I enjoy sitting in the frigid cold for hours on end on my day off for essentially free meat since I'm a cheap bastard?

>>857624
>Unnecessarily barbaric.
Far more kind than the death nature often gives to them

>Life is sacred and should be perserved.
All life or just the pretty ones? So no vermin control, insect control, plant control, or abortion then?

>>837275
i guess the issue lies with the different ways people enjoy being /out/
i’ve met mostly great hunters and would like to try it now and again.
but i predominantly go /out/ for solitude.
even hours deep in to crown land after wading through 2 swamps i can still hear shots from a few clicks away. shells and beer cans are always found together. obvious disturbed undergrowth and forest floor around blinds and animal trails. shitty fire pits. kicked up sphagnum moss. and they only seem to go into the woods for a day a time.
they kind of remind me of bikers. i like motorcycles but it’s a hobby mostly taken up by loud faggots.

>>857550
I dig, I grew up hunting in Northern Wisconsin with my dad and brother so I learned a bunch from them. The biggest thing I've learned though is that if you go out and walk around enough, eventually you'll see something to shoot, and even if you don't it's still a nice hike in the woods.

Ice fishing is great. Total solitude and relaxation. I may even get my gas auger up and running this year so I don't have to use the hand one.

Really though, just pay attention to your surroundings and if a spot seems nice to you try to figure out why it seems nice, then try to figure out if the game you're hunting would appreciate those same qualities. Animals don't operate on a higher level than survival, remember that.

>>857624
You go ahead and starve to death, or anthropomorphize animals and pretend plants aren't just as vitally alive and just as deserving of life as any creature.

My point was that every living thing wages war to live every day, and either kill to eat or scavenge carcasses, like plants.

Just eat plastic and drink bleach, and nobly harm nothing and no one.

>>857563
>The entirerty of existence is war, and only hunters try to be humane about it.
You are one dumb motherfucker.

>>858972
>hunting is barbaric and unnecessary- you can get meat from the store.

This mentality always floors me.
People who are oblivious of the industrial meat complex and how cows/chickens/pigs that are bred for human consumption live a life of torture- crammed into pens and barns sometimes too tightly to even move.
Pumped full of hormones and drugs.
Fed the remains of other sick animals (mad cow disease was spread so widely because they'd feed the dead cows, including their brains, to other cows).

>>858972
You're an idiot.
Every organism on earth trys to crowd out their neighbor to benefit from more resources.
Coral actually have chemical warfare to kill neighbors.
Deer beat the crap out of each other for the right to breed.

>>859164
>factory farming durr
Red herring straw man.

>plants compete for life
No shit, they aren't sentient which is what matters.

>>837552
If youre hungry that is extremely stupid. You ned to gain more energy out of your food than you are using getting it. Traps are ideal for that.

The state of this thread, nice to know every board on this website has argumentative dummies

>>841586

ive got that same knife, i use it cooking when /out/ alot
