I have one for you. We had a Labor Day family cookout with DH's silbings at our place. One of his younger sisters was admiring my broody BR hen, Dottie, with her few-days-old chicks. And she asks me...
                                                                           wait for it...
                                                                                     are you sitting down?


"How does she feed them? Does she have milk?"


Emperor Penguins, Greater Flamingos and some pigeons.
 
Here's a doozy from MANY people who do not hunt.

They ask us:

"Did you catch anything?"

I say "Yes, a buck deer"

they say "what did you do with it?"

I say "I haltered it"

They just look at me funny....then I have to be mean and explain that you kill an animal when you hunt, you don't catch it.......
and if you did catch it, it would be quite the rodeo!

Reminds me of the day a number of acquaintances and a few friends were sitting around an outdoor table at a hamburger joint.

I mentioned that I had to renew my hunting license.

She gave me the saddest look and asked "Why can't you hunt with a camera?"

I told her "Sure, I tried it once, but the film tasted so darn bad I just couldn't do it again."
Her response, completely wide eyed with surprise "You mean you eat the meat?"

I have no idea of what she thought we were doing out there, and I don't even want to think about it.

That's funny! I wonder how old she is. If too old, then it's scary

Film tasting bad was a great one

I'm glad you eat the meat you hunt. Some people I know give the meat to charity. I have heard of people who hunt just to leave the carcass to rot. That to me is unacceptable.

Early 50's. I'd heard of someone who sold a hen with chicks to a customer and the customer called her a week or two later, saying the chicks were dying because the hen apparently ran out of milk, what should she do. I was skeptical about the story until my SIL pretty much confirmed that people really are that clueless. I told her that no, chickens are not mammals, and showed her the chick starter, but now, come to think of it, I'm not sure she knows what a mammal is.

As we in the South say, well, bless her heart!

It is also highly illegal - "wanton waste of game" is a serious violation of hunting regs in any state I can think of. Unethical hunters sure make it hard on the rest of us. I've been hunting since I was a little girl, and since I'm now in my mid 60s that's a lot of seasons out in the field.
 
I do remember a girl in college asking me how I could eat my pets (which they aren't really pets anyhow), I just replied, like this & commenced taking a bite of a sandwich. She was disgusted and called me a cave man.

If it helps, someone once called me that for eating a raw bell pepper :p


Also Wooden coyote your avatar is priceless.

Thank you! He widdled on my friend's kitchen cabinets in an attempt to woo her lady cat. It didn't work.

Good to know. I am not a hunter, but have a lot of respect for people who hunt their own food, or give the meat to those who otherwise might go hungry.

Lol! Too funny. Cats are priceless.

I also must say to all the hunters on here, that hunting is wonderful way to get food on the table. Before I was born it was how my family survived. And what's better, taking a mature wild animal who lived well and wild or eating a critter who was caged in back of the grocery store..... :lau
Omg meat growing in the grocery store I will never get over that! If anyone sees a steak tree let me know.
