I won't go so far to say I'm anti-hunting. I have never seen what ewest describes above, and hope I never do. I guess if I had seen it I would probably join in and help thin the herd myself. But the animals in the pictures look a long way from starving or sick. The whole point of the post was that this was the biggest healthiest buck in the forest. I would rather get years of enjoyment from watching this guy out by the pond than by shooting him.
But that's just me, and I understand that everyone doesn't feel this way. I'm just a soft hearted animal lover that doesn't have a problem buying a big T-bone at the store.
I didn't want start a battle over it, I know I'm in the minority on this one. Rather, I was just expressing my 2c, and wondering what kind of replys would result. No one can expect to change anyone else's mind on hunting. I am glad to hear y'alls side of the story.
