[QUOTE="stormgale, post: 2362777, member: 816131"] the idea is three fold. number one, it's to feed your family cheaper then if you were to buy meat from the store, it's also healthier since it's not filled with farming hormones and chemicals. number two, population control is needed in many area where deer become too crowded, spreading disease and famine throughout the overcrowded population, it's more of a mercy kill since it prevents them from suffering from disease and starvation. number three is it's bonding experience and accomplishment, many people have their sport, some like tennis, some like soccer/football, some like fishing/angling, some like hunting, it's just what they like to do. it's very controversial, but as you perfectly stated it, it's definitely not as bad as what mega farms do to their animals and these animals have had a good life, in most cases with hunting, the kill is painless due to adrenaline and endorphins that flood the body after the shot, that animal is only working on instinct and doesn't know what's happening, it's better then having the time to worry and think"wtf is going to happen to me", with hunting, it's all over within a minute or less, sometimes instantaneous, with the animal passing out from a drop in blood pressure that happens very quickly, it's only inexperienced hunters that haven't learned properly or real a**holes that don't care for life that give us hunters a bad name.
