    I know everyone cares about the conservation of out marine life which I do as well, but I'm just wondering is anyone here hunts? I have been a life long hunter and would like to know if anyone else shares the same passion. I'm not trying to cause any problems with people who have personal issues with hunting, I am just curious.

    If so lets please talk! I know this can be a touchy subject so sorry if I upset anyone!

    Even if you don't hunt does anyone target shoot? Target, Skeet, Trap, etc? I have just never seen this subject and wanted to see if I have any others sharing the same hobby/passion.

    I love to shoot trap it's soo much fun but afterwards my wifey loves to poke me in the resulting bruse. I do go hunting but I hunt for food not sport I mean it's sport but I eat the animal not just for trophies not much of one to hang some dead thing on my wall.

    I don't see why it should be a touchy subject, if you don't like hunting, don't eat meat.... I don't hunt, but I fish. I just don't eat nemo :p (He's more like "bait" :devil1: )

    Yes .. I to am hunter.. For the past few years we are incouraged to hunt deer mainly because of the mass loss of crops that are damaged or well eaten. Along with animal verus Cars and motorcycles fatalitys.. In our area..

    Nothing beats kicking back snacking on some venison smokies or even jerky while the snow piles up on a cold and snowy day.

    +1 on the smokies and jerky. I to hunt and fish and love the sport not to mention the food in the freezer. Take the squeeze off the grocery bill.

    Well I am glad to see others enjoying a sport/ passion as much as I do. I do eat what I shoot as well but I also do it for the sport. I've grown up with it and I am lucky enough to have traveled all over the country and world to hunt with my dad ever since I was a little boy (I'm 24 and own my own now).


    I actually just went trap shooting for the first time in a few years and am now getting my girlfriend into it too! (She loved poking me in the same bruise!)

    Happy hunting everyone!

    I don't hunt but I do a lot of fishing, including ocean kayak fishing which is by far the most fun.
