Why Do We Do It?

[Allan P 1,150]

Why do we hunt, I think most of us can afford to eat and clothe ourselves so why do we do it?

I'd this some sort of anti question?

I hunt because I enjoy being in the countryside, I love seeing dogs work and it gives me a break from the Mrs and kids, I have respect for everything I kill

Seeing a dog work or hearing that rumble of a rabbit about to bolt its priceless. Just pitting your wits to catch some thing with a net or a snare. Walking the fields with a longnet tucked away in darkness all priceless

[Tiercel 6,986]

I hunt because I have to. Not out of financial necessity, but because it satisfies my necessity at the most basic level to provide.

No anti question, far from an anti and I'm with you apart from giving me a break from my wife and kids I have that for 3 weeks. For me it's just being out and and about but sometimes I get pissed off when the bag is empty.

Sometimes the meat we eat tastes that bit nicer the way God made it, compared to the chemical pumped crap that's served to us these days, and for that reason we all should still have the freedom to be able to feed our families from the wild larder.

Just something that's in us love seeing dogs doing what there meant to be doing hunting

Brilliant , just don't get this posting on FB shit in another thread. Yes I get a buzz when dog does well but ffs tell close like minded friends if they don't believe u then they don't know you and are not really friends.

Keeping old skills or knowledge alive. Why pay over the odds for some nasty looking shrinkwrapped meat when you can get it fresh an know how its been caught an killed.

I paid good money for a piece of beef and not a patch on a couple of rabbits the dog caught.

To be fair I meant the game meat you get in supermarkets never looks nice and always overpriced.

Nothing to do with the meat for me. Although it is a much welcomed bonus and definitely tastes better than supermarket meat.

 

I've always been a dog person. My parents had dogs when I was born and I've never been without a dog in my 28 years. Watching them work is just the icing on the cake, I can't get my head around any dog lover not letting their dog do what nature intended. Nothing worse than seeing dogs what never come off the lead.

We should be buying from local butchers,, if we have to.

I always feel the need to kill anti’s with an axe hunting satisfies the urge
