OT: not a big fan of hunting.....

I hate being lactose intolerant, it sucks. I used to drink milk alot, but didn't eat alot of cheese. Atleast, only when it came on or in something.
Recently I've been able to have a bowl of cereal in the morning by using Lactaid brand milk. It's freaking expensive, about 4$ for a half gallon, but the results are more user freindly

Well for those lactose intolerant people I have good news. I've just created a web site where you can login and become a member (for a small fee of course) and watch live video of people drinking milk, eating cheese and ice cream in their natural settings. The beauty of it is, you get to select what they are going to eat. If you want chocolate milk, white milk, cottage cheese or cream cheese. It's all up to you.

It's the newest thing in consuming dairy products!

Hmm... John Underwood... Either my dad knows him or Ive met him a few times, the name is really familiar.
Doesnt surprise me. Rednecks around here put seats on the front bumper of their trucks so two can sit and drink and shoot while one drinks and drives. They can chase deer that way.

I dont know where the article is, Ill see if I can find it... Apparently just south of san antonio 3 days ago or so, a "Modified black hawk helicopter" (Modified for search and rescue) was on a training mission when the pilot saw, literally, the 2nd biggest buck in texas history.
... So he did what any good native texan in a helicopter would do, and gave chase. The buck wound up running head long into a fence and breaking his back, and died instantly. Crazy rednecks. Maybe helicopters are the "new technilogical advancement in hunting."
I too, hope it is illegal. Its pretty d@mn lazy and pathetic to not only shoot an animal while its eating, but training the animal for a year that its ok and safe to eat at a certain spot, then shooting it while its guard is down... Only meat I eat really is cow and chicken, occasional pig. (I love ham). Cant really say it would be much of an event to hunt any of those three, and I cant see any point in hunting if you arent going to eat it.

good quote...


When I gave up red meat I gave up hunting b/c I figured if I wasn't going to eat the deer, why shoot it... other than to **** sonme of you off of course.

i have never been hunting before, but if liking deer jerky is wrong i dont want to be right

I keep meaning to become a semi-vegetarian because ethically I feel I shouldn't eat something that's been killed if I'm not willing to kill it myself, even in abstract. I'm willing to harvest plants, milk cows, go fishing and netting seafood, and collect eggs. I just don't have the stomach to hunt or butcher. So I don't feel like I'm living up to my end of the "respect" bargain by pretending the supermarket meat just appeared there magically.

But then I see BLT on the menu and I get selective memory.

Butcherin' ain't all that bad. It's when you gut-shoot the *******s that ever'thin' goes to hell.

Sorry, but that's totally and completely incorrect. Deer actually have few natural predators. They are about as fecund as rabbits and that is one reason there are so many deer andy why people seem to notice more deer these day. Habitat improvement and encroachment is another. Improved herd management is aonther. There are many reasons for a large and a seemingly over large population but I just don't have time right now to go into it all.

The idea of hunting with a remote controll weapon is WRONG in so many ways. And I'm a hunter--bow hunter mostly.
