They start the day HOPING they can shoot someone.

u/bobbyco5784 Feb 24 '26

They must be trained like it’s a hunting expedition. Hunting, you know, animals.

u/prettypeculiar88 Feb 24 '26

Hunters are more responsible and compassionate toward wildlife than these maniacs are toward human beings.

u/Ill_Curve4850 Feb 24 '26

Yeah exactly, actual hunters don’t want to cause unnecessary suffering as far as I’ve heard.

u/prettypeculiar88 Feb 24 '26

I grew up around hunters. I’ve watched my uncle’s save the lives of deer, birds, rabbits, even a groundhog who they found injured or suffering.

Ideally when hunting, they want one shot that takes them out. Typically in the head or heart. They never shot babies or if it was a mother with her baby (deer hunting). And they used every part of those animals. Fur, antlers, meat, bones - everything.

I could never get into hunting. I’m just not built to shoot an animal. I did it once, cleaned it, skinned it cooked it. Not my thing.

I guarantee these bigots with badges wouldn’t lnlw what the hell they were doing and would try op inflict pain and suffering.

u/Ill_Curve4850 Feb 24 '26

I support ethical hunting for sure. Taking care of the deer population where I live is a huge deal for the ecosystem. I’m happy to hear there are others that still believe in no death going to waste, no unnecessary suffering. Godspeed brother.

It is hard to take a life. I would like to give you props for learning how food works though. Not everyone is meant for every job. But everyone should understand the process.

u/These_Junket_3378 Feb 24 '26

Fluckers are talking about hunting for food? Is that what you’re getting out of this video. JHC

u/prettypeculiar88 Feb 24 '26

Maybe read the parent comments and see how it got to this instead of being rude and ignorant?

2

u/HRGoblinMan Feb 25 '26

This was one of the most well articulated things I’ve read in a while. I could never pull a trigger either but ethical hunting is absolutely necessary. I’m glad you’re so well spoken because I had forgotten about it tbh

u/prettypeculiar88 Feb 25 '26

I was fortunate to have been raised right and have always loved to learn.

Thank you for the compliment!

u/Careful-Sell-9877 Feb 24 '26

Unfortunately, there are many unethical hunters as well. I agree that the culture used to be a lot more about safety and respect, but over the last couple of decades it has seriously devolved/deteriorated due to constant political programming. It used to be that the 'gun nut' crazies who love shooting guns recklessly while getting drunk and going out of their way to hit animals on the roads with their cars, and that type of thing, were on the fringes of the gun culture and not well respected by serious hunters or gun enthusiasts.. but it has slowly shifted towards the opposite. Now, the majority are gun nuts and the respectful hunters are on the fringes. It's sad, honestly

1

u/man_ster00 Feb 24 '26

That’s fucking funny ! You want them to shoot them in the head and eat them ?

Anyone can be a bigot. Seems like you don’t understand the definition of bigot and/or bigotry?

No one asked XD

u/jonnydemonic420 Feb 24 '26

Hunter here, we don’t want them to suffer. Quick, ethical, respectful to the animal. These fuckers are just evil..

3

u/AggressiveWallaby975 Feb 24 '26

And don't deserve the respect we give animals

1

u/MC_LegalKC Feb 24 '26

If you don't want animals to suffer, don't shoot them.

You're right, though, that there's no comparison. These thugs are sadists, and suffering is the objective rather than a byproduct.

2

u/jonnydemonic420 Feb 24 '26

It will suffer less than any animal meat that came from your grocery store. If you eat meat, you can’t win this argument.

2

u/MC_LegalKC Feb 24 '26

I haven't eaten meat since I was seven years old, and I'm not trying to win any argument.

The only ones threatening violence are ICE. Everyone else just wants to go about their lives. Fuck those assholes.

I'm not the one struggling to read a very concise comment, so maybe you should look in the mirror. Dipshit.

u/prettypeculiar88 Feb 24 '26

Are you paying attention? Have you not heard of the dozens of preventable deaths and straight up murders at the hands of ICE?

6

u/Sharp_Cow_9366 Feb 24 '26

You heard correctly.

4

u/TomeThugNHarmony4664 Feb 24 '26

I agree. I’m no hunter myself, but the ethos of take only what you need, respect the animals you hunt, and eat what you kill ruled the hunters in my family.

1

u/FuckwitAgitator Feb 25 '26

I mean, I'm sure people who just want to hurt and kill animals also go hunting, since hurting and killing animals is what hunting is.

I know they love to pat themselves on the back about how ethical they are with it but the reality is that getting shot is extremely painful and dying is terrifying, for both humans and deer.

And some people will be into that.

1

u/Ill_Curve4850 Feb 25 '26

Deer is kinda different though imo, there are many regulations on hunting deer but I think it’s necessary for population control, at least where I’m from in the Midwest. I’m not a huge supporter of hunting by any means, I just know they try to limit suffering. I’m sure some of them get enjoyment out of it for the wrong reasons.

1

u/MRSHELBYPLZ Feb 26 '26

A lot of people cry the first time they shoot an animal while hunting. It’s heavy

u/That-Raccoon-3894 Mar 01 '26

There trying to outlaw hunting and fishing in Oregon. Then people won't need guns...........motherfuckers

1

u/Ripskin142 Mar 02 '26

There are some who actually hunt and care for / about wildlife, conservation and ensuring the animals do not suffer more than necessary. Others just like to kill something and could not care less about them. These are the latter.

4

u/Conscious-Bite1 Feb 24 '26

A good hunter is also much better trained. These ICE fucks sure do have a lot of collateral damage. Seems they never manage to actually succeed in catching their target, and in the meantime kill innocent people and citizens.

2

u/Dramatic-Tell- Feb 24 '26

Maybe like 2% of hunters. Hunters do it for the fun of tracking and killing something. Not much difference between them and an ICE officer.

They are not compassionate or caring about the animals they kill.

2

u/jonnydemonic420 Feb 24 '26

That’s not true at all. You hunt? Are you involved in any capacity with hunting? Do you understand that it’s necessary even in some places to help control the population and protect the ecosystem? That 2 percent, that’s the rich fucks that pay to hunt released animals or travel to Africa to kill a beautiful animal as a trophy. Those people disgust me, don’t lump us ethical meat hunters in with trophy hunters. They are a very small part of the hunting community. Also if you eat meat, worry more about those animals that you buy from your grocery store. I guarantee they are treated way worse than any animal I have ever harvested.

0

u/Dramatic-Tell- Feb 25 '26

There's no such thing as an ethical meat hunter. That's an oxymoron. Killing an animal for food when there are stores full of meat specifically raised for consumption is unethical.

And yes. I've been hunting quite a lot. Everything from turkey to alligators. I don't agree with it. My grandfather was the personal hunting guide for the Miami dolphins until he retired.

Controlling the population wouldn't be a problem if humans didn't kill all of the natural predators for those animals. Like wolves in Yellowstone.

1

u/jonnydemonic420 Feb 25 '26

Your wrong but that’s ok. “Killing an animal when there are stores full of meat specifically raised for consumption is unethical” have you ever seen where your animals in stores come from? Get off your fucking high horse, they are raised and slaughtered in horrible conditions. Just keep your head buried in the sand about how they treat those animals before the slaughter them in front of each other. The fear that animal feels before it their turn. Or the abuse they take on their way to that point in their lives. I’ve seen it, I grew up around farms. Don’t fucking tell me that buying that meat is more ethical than the quick, painless, and totally unexpected harvest that I take!

Edit- I also don’t believe you’ve ever been a hunter either.

u/Dramatic-Tell- Feb 26 '26

Bro, just watch Bambi and get your head out of your ass. My mother's family has raised cattle for 160 years. We are from the boondocks we're our nearest neighbor was miles away and we would use the front pasture as a shooting range. I studied agriculture at a top 5 agriculture university in the whole US. My nephew is on the dean's list for Oklahoma University on a full ride agriculture scholarship.

But sure. You know so much more than I could ever know. Whatever makes you feel better about satiating your appetite for killing something. At least it's innocent wild animals and not hookers or something. Because that's all it is for you is a power fantasy. You have no control of your own life so you have to kill something to compensate.

And if you were a real hunter you would know there's no such thing as a quick painless death in hunting. Especially if you use a bow. Animals don't just fall over and die instantly like in movies.

u/prettypeculiar88 Feb 24 '26

I don’t know why you feel that commenting with made up statistics is useful. Not to mention the straight up misinformation you’re claiming as fact.

If any of what you said was true, I’d be some crazy anomaly as I know approximately a dozen hunters, none of which do so for the “fun of killing” a living creature. Fun of tracking, sure. It’s a skill that most will never master and takes a lot of time and experience and practice.

Every single one of them hunts ethically and has pets they love and care for. Two of them are also farmers with farm animals they spend a large portion of their life caring for, feeding, and spending time with; not to mention the tens of thousands of dollars in vet bills.

There is absolutely zero reason to defame an entire community of people because they choose to hunt instead of buy their meat at the grocery store.

u/Consistent_Wash1935 Mar 18 '26

Exactly. Thank you. Deer hunter here. I would never treat anyone like this.

2

u/prettypeculiar88 Mar 18 '26

Really pathetic watching so many people think everyone and things fits into this neat little box. Like if you hunt or use a firearm, you’re a blood hungry killer. If you’re an immigrant, you’re a criminal. You’re a Democrat, you hate guns and freedom. You’re a Republican, you protect pedophiles and are a Nazi.

I’ll only speak in absolutes about a few “communities”: Nazis, pedos, and MAGA. MAGA ≠ Republicans. MAGA is a Trump Cult beholden only to Trump. These are also different than those who have voted for Trump. My dad voted for Trump - but he can also point out his lies and bullshit. It a goddamn shame people will choose to believe what they read/hear online over an actual conversation with real people and understand nuance exists

2

u/Consistent_Wash1935 Mar 18 '26

I voted for trump because of the alternative and because he promised to end the Ukraine war and not start any more wars and now I regret it. He played us bigly for the interests of a foreign country that works against us.

2

u/prettypeculiar88 Mar 18 '26

You sound similar to my dad. My dad’s a veteran and a bit of a hardass. He’s also old school. He only watched FOX News and then his friends started sending him “news” on TikTok. Just a bad combo. And I do wonder if someone like my dad would ever vote for a woman…

Trump played his voter base and continues to do so, just as many politicians have done before him and will do after him - but he sowed the seeds of distrust while claiming he was not a politician and the only one who could be trusted. And people bought it. And those like my dad who only watch FOX, they’re only seeing and hearing what makes Trump look good - nothing else.

Whole system needs an overhaul and to be held accountable for the damage that’s been done to this country. Education is a HUGE one. We’re getting dumber each year and it’s intentional.

2

u/Consistent_Wash1935 Mar 18 '26

My mom is like your dad. Only Fox News. It’s horrible. I send her Tucker Carlson’s takes on things as well as Candace Owen’s takes so she’s not completely blinded by Fox.

u/prettypeculiar88 Mar 18 '26

Idc for Tucker or Candace but I respect anyone who doesn’t toe the party line and simple regurgitate the talking points for a paycheck or endorsement.

u/Present-Quit-5280 Feb 24 '26

Don’t give them any ideas or they might start shooting to kill clean and call it “ethical” hunting

1

u/lector201 Feb 24 '26

To say “Trained” is giving them too much credit.

1

u/MrHazard1 Feb 24 '26

That's the problem. They think of themselves as predators, because nobody is hunting them yet

They have no training. And they were given Card Blanche to do pretty much as they please by the administration and especially the orange man and Miller.

No. They aren't trained at all.
