Hunting small game

[Baron Von Murderpaws]

If there are any hunters on here.......maybe you can answer this.........

WHY do people hunt small game? Specifically targets like quail, frog, dove, squirrel, and other similar sized animals.

They are literally too small to have any meat on them. And I've had quail before, and there was literally NO meat on it (had to eat 5 of them to even get anything from the dinner). I can't imagine there being much of anything on these small animals. So why waste resources hunting them? I don't get it.

Anything the size of a chicken or duck I get, but not anything smaller than your hand. Doesn't make sense.

All the animals you listed are edible.

People have been hunting those critters for hundreds of years for food. Go to some of the hunting forums (especially traditional black powder forums) and get loads of recipes.

Because they're tasty, plentiful, and easy to hunt. Get enough of them and you have a good meal, without having to deal with large animals that require dressing, processing, and storage.

Lol, they taste good. Kinda pissed if ya only get one. You would be surprised the meat ya get off frog. Many times I would rather clean frog than duck. The other day I was dragging a doe up a really steep hill by myself and thinking I should have went rabbit hunting instead. My old ass was winded by the time I got to the top and still had three football fields to get back to the truck.

Wouldn’t it be a whole lot easier to go to the store and buy a package of already cleaned chicken?

I shoot rabbits and squirrels in my garden

and rats wherever I find them

if I could hit a hawk I would shoot them too because they kill chickens

If you have chickens real hawks are not that cute

but I do see the humor

what you get at the store was once alive,, sounds like youre just a coward that wants someone else to kill for you,,

 

[Confederate Soldier]

You're supposed to shoot more than one... That's why state game laws have bag limits of 5 or more small game animals a day. Quail and dove, although they don't have much meat on them, are to die for when cooked right and you have several of them.

We come from a long line of hunter gatherers.

Believe me when I tell you, hunting is fun for a lot of people. It's probably in our DNA.

He hunts them with a big purple rubber dildo too.

What a man.
