I think murdering an animal and the feasting on the flesh of a corpse is gross and barbaric. Getting-off on taking an innocent life is psychotic. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of sickos in this world. It’s obvious just reading this thread.
I believe in respecting life (especially sentient beings) and being kind. Why bring unnecessary cruelty into this world?
So eating at a Ruby Tuesday or fast food 10x a week is okay- corporate farming of animals is okay. Isn't that what you said in another thread? Have you seen conditions there? Tell me you're not 'feasting on the flesh of a corpse'.
Meanwhile I just butchered and processed my non-trophy whitetail and put in the freezer today. I'll make my own burger and much healthier than what you're eating.

Bears are barely respectful of humans and if they were never "terrorized" the entire bear population would happily move into the big city where the living is easy and live on garbage cans and eat small children. Most don't because they have the knowledge that humans can sometimes be dangerous.
it's the same with mountain lions. If they are never hunted, they move right into town and into people's backyards, where they eat the family dog.
Raccoons, it doesn't seem to matter how much they are hunted or trapped, they still all want to live right in town and eat cat food and garbage.
I haven't gone hunting since 1995. Still, I support hunting as it is as much a core human activity as procreating. Also, I believe that attacks on hunting are attacks on the 2A and Americanism in general. I'm okay with the honest science of game management so if that includes trophy hunting then that's okay. I remember as a kid seeing my elderly neighbor's Boone and Crocket Club medal and the cleaned mountain lion skull that earned it. I was completely impressed. That was a big cat.
I am going trophy hunting for whitetail in Texas in the morning but I prolly wont get a trophy but I hope I do.I may shoot a non-trophy buck instead for the meat if i get a chance.I hope I get the biggest trophy with the biggest rack this year on our deer lease but I doubt that will happen.I will shoot a trophy tomorrow if I get the shot.I have always loved shooting bucks even if they were not trophies though.

I've never had the luxury of being able to trophy hunt. In my used to be profession sometimes even getting a day or two off was iffy. And getting to hunt on opening day was not a gaurantee either so I shot the first legal animal that presented it's self. It was that way from 1974 to 2018 when I left the Oil Field. No after many things happening I can go Hunting when and for as long as I want I do still shoot the first legal one to show up. I have stumbled on some big males and took them but tag soup is something I do not like to eat.
I never really understood this issue. Hunting is hunting and like gun owners being gun owners worst enemy hunters are hunters worst enemy. I live way up in Maine and hunt allot of varmints Coyotes mostly. Many hate that we go out and take yotes all year and summer yotes are not used for anything and winter yotes are only used for pelts and the leftovers many times end up bait for yote hunting.
I also do cats for many a farmer and landowner. Yep feral cats are a huge problem in some areas. This is a huge trigger for hunters and non hunters I have had police called on me and been threatened. Got attacked by a guy once that did not end well for him.
Hunting is hunting. If you are after a freezer full of meat or that trophy rack enjoy your sport and show that same respect to other hunters..
Well I did not get a trophy this past deer season but I did get some good venison to fill the freezer.I was hoping for a trophy though.
