What Else Do Bears Do In The Woods?
I’ve thought about it, and I have to say that I have mostly the same feelings about hunting that I do about gay sex.
To clarify, I have friends that think that both of these activities are an enjoyable way to spend a weekend, and I have absolutely no moral qualms with them doing so. I like living in a society that is accepting of their choice of activities, and I fully support their right to do so.
But that doesn’t mean I’m likely to be heading into the woods to take part in either one any time soon.

I’m with Ron White — if hunting was done 15 minutes from my house on a sunny 70 degree afternoon, instead of three hours from my house at 5am when it’s 45 degrees out, I would be all over it.
Some people juggle geese.

I worked with a woman from upstate NY who was awoken on morning by her husband shooting a deer from their bedroom window.
And they are still married.

Your comment implies that there’s some reason they shouldn’t be.

In some places that would be considered delivery.

Now if she ran outside to clean and dress the carcass she’d be a real keeper

That’s awesome. I look forward to the day when I can buy my own property. That way I can walk out on to my porch, and shoot my breakfast in the mornings.

OTOH, I LIKE backpacking and roughing it, and I’m fascinated with guns. So every once in a while, when I’m turning the pages of the Sportsman’s Guide catalog*, I see all the camping equipment, and all the shooting gear and I think that hunting would be a logical hobby for me. Until I get to the pages full of skids for dragging the carcas out of the woods, the giant hook for pulling the entrails out from the deer’s ass, the special skinning knives and what not. ISTM that about the WORST thing that could happen when hunting is that you could actually bag a deer and have to deal with it. Somebody has to keep the deer population in check, but it doesn’t have to be me.
*MAN those guys NEVER stop sending me catalogs.

So, do you also think you need a license to have gay sex too? Are there particular seasons? ;)

And I’m kind of horrified because you just made me picture the training classes for that license.
BRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! The horror. The horror.
Captcha say “insects Hancome” I think someone from an ESL class was trying to make a sex joke.

I live in Wisconsin, starting tomorrow and ending on Sunday, I’m going to place myself in a small trailer on a chunk of wilderness and wake up every morning at 3 to go sit in a tree with a rifle for 12 hours while trying to not move at all.

What you use? I use an old Model 1893 Springfield muzzleloader. That way, I have to make my shot count because it takes me up to a minute/45 seconds on a good day to reload the thing.

If I’m going into the woods with a gun, I don’t want to wait for a stupid deer. I’m bringing my own cans/bottles/computer components/’splodey stuff to shoot. Way more fun and it’s recycling!

I’ve been meaning to go on a hunting trip for years now… I have friends and relatives who go all the time.
…I just never have both the time and the money to do so.

Sounds like zombie killin’ to me…
