The weathers cold in the winter no matter if I hunt or not so I would have cold weather gear no matter if I hunt or not.Free meal??It's my first thread here, and I want to start with the issue, that worries me a lot.
Gun owners always claim that they own guns for self protection, even though the guns in their homes impose a much greater risk to their lives than an intruder. They also state they need guns to protect themselves from the government and from tthr police. Oh, seriously? Other argument for guns is hunting. Food production in the US is quite complex and capable of providing all types of foods to all parts of the country. And, if someone is too poor to buy food to eat, they are too poor to buy weapons. So what for?! Explain me, please.
I truly believe, that guns only do harm There is no use for guns in our society. The 2nd amendment was made in a time where guns were necessary because of the British.
Provide proof from an unbiased souce that a gun in the home is a bigger risk to the owner. I have quite a large collection in my home in each vehicle etc.. Grew up around the same from a toddler. I've yet to have one of those guns harm me. Sorry but you claim means nothing to me
Food production is great and I don't need to hunt? Sorry I dont "need" your permission nor do I "need" to hunt. I hunt because I want to hunt. I hunt because I enjoy hunting
Wildlife on the dinner table is a free meal. I am fortunate to be able to eat whatever I choose to buy and at any restaurant across the country I choose. I prefer game that is free from chemicals etc... Associated with commercially raised meat/fowl. I prefer to walk outside and take an animal at no charge, process it myself and feed my family the most healthy choice available.
You see it really does not boil down to need as to why many of us have guns, it comes down to wants. You see I want guns, I want to hunt and shoot and here I am free to satisfy those wants regardless of your opinion
Cold weather clothes, deer stands, food plots, fuel, lease fees, price of hunting land, yeah deer cost a few hundred dollars a pound!
I haven't bought a deer stand in many years and take on average of 5 deer a year for as long as I can remember. I guess if I did the math very little of that deer stand cost would affect the price/Lb. Many of my deer are taken on a stalk. Never hunted a turkey from a deer stand
Food plots-I plant them year round for wdlife to give all game supplemental feeding choices. It's a good thing to do whether you hunt or not to improve the health of the wildlife, I would do the same on my propert hunt or not It's rare that I hunt on a plot.
Fuel- lol my nearest stand is less than 100 yard walk from my home
Lease price - I dont lease I own
Hunting land cost - again I own my land didn't buy it for the hunting bought it to raise horses. The fact that I have abundant wildlife on it is a bonus
