hunting part II

The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that people that actively hunt are idiots. None of the people I know that go hunting are hurting for food. If that was the case, they would play by the rules and tag the deer they take down. That really is what gets me. At least take the time to be honest. Claim what you shoot and make an effort to play by the rules. They are just out hunting because they need something to do or a reason to get out of the house,

The size of these hunting parties is something else also. The more people that are out there with guns, the more of a chance there is that a bullet will shoot something it was not supposed to. It just makes me really nervous. A single deer can pop up and take off running. Everyone moves to get a better shot, and some end up in places where they might be vulnerable to gun fire. They might even shoot in the direction of my house if they are not paying enough attention.

Opening day of gun season may be the worst. Every one wants to go 100 miles an hour on the first day of the season, then barely do anything the rest of the season. That really confounds me. If you are so committed to hunting, why don't you go everyday all day?

I could see the sport in bow hunting. That would be more of a challenge and closer to a actual contest of preparation and patience. The crowd in the woods we be much less and you would only get one realistic shot at a buck before they take off.
