Just realised that my last paragraph sounds condescending - sorry about that. It was not my intention , nor to sound patronising.
I hope I have not offended anyone in any way, shape or form.
In friendship, I bid you goodnight.

when I was in school, starting in 8th or 9th grade (can't remember), one of the classes available was our ag class (FFA). We didn't visit farms - we had one on school property where we raised chickens and pigs. The big difference was that we DID go to take them to slaughter - and we DID get put...
Thank you for your replies.
The origin of redneck was poor white men who worked outdoors, usually farming with heads down, burned red necks.
Thanks for that information. I had no idea where the term came from, only that it was used in a derogatory way, unfairly. Obviously I know no one who...
We used to have herds of buffalo that would take a hole day to cross a river..... thats how many they were.
USED TO
Why don't you have them any more? Where have all the buffalo gone?
They weren't all taken as food were they?
Guns are not problem, ignorant controlling people are the problem.
I absolutely agree!!
If I am honest, I do not have a problem with people hunting if they can guarantee that they will kill with one shot, quickly. I am very impressed that everyone here has that skill but I am not convinced...
Hmmm, it seems that people are beginning to get agitated with me.
I'm sorry for that.
impis,
Please be respectful... OK? We are happy to share our inner feelings on the subject... But you must respect them..
I have been careful to be respectful all along, so don't quite understand this...
Do you even know how cruelly most of those "supermarket" animals were treated prior to being meat in a store? I do. If you did, you would probably choose another way to get your meat. The chickens have horrible lives, I know because my ex managed a chicken farm. They never saw the light of day &...
You don't do it because you LIKE it then, but because it is a need?
Hmmm.
What if there were no deer around to shoot. How would you feed your need then?
Sorry - I'm playing devil's advocate here, a little. I do understand what you mean, and in no way am I trying to change your views...

Thank you for your reasoned reply - and one that I concede does have some merit. I can understand you wishing to remember times when you overcame huge challenges, and the excitement.
But............
Wouldn't it have been easier [and cheaper] to have bought the meat from a...
From you first post I'm sure your real problem is with hunting in general not just the bragging. If you don't hunt why would you even click on the topic?
Probably because i can. Because my opinion, whether you like it or not, is just as valid as yours and I'm entitled to express it - just as...
I don't have a problem with the animals being killed for meat - after all, it is what happens to cattle, sheep, and pigs, amongst other animals. What I do have issue with is people who brag about killing. I'm not accusing anyone here of bragging - but I have seen another thread where people...
