STUFF YOU WILL HATE

Been considering for awhile. Any tips?

I never have but it seems fun, and like a good skill to have for after teh shit goes down (kinda srs #zog)

was pretty much a rite of passage for me growing up in the deep south. i've been a handful of times (and bow-hunting once), but not since i was 13-14.

it was fun as a kid, but now the only real appeal of it would be to drink in a deer stand during the morning, and i could probably do that without having to worry about being deathly quiet. or in a deer stand.

. Wanna learn how to trap and field dress and all that non sexy shit because I intend to eat what i kill.

Agreed. I am waiting on my gun license to arrive any day now. Been meaning to get a gun in the house in case of civil unrest, or whatever else need be.
Like they say, it's better to have a gun and not need it than it is to need a gun and not have it.

Shot a few rabbits as a kid, but the only time a deer died by my hand was when it ran in front of the car and maimed itself so had to put it out of its misery. Still ate that shit, but I passed it on to someone who knew what they were doing to butcher.

Ive always wanted to go hunting but the only savage beast available to kill here is poor people, and its not really legal.

Yea i lucked out in that Toronto has a shit load of deers and coyotes just on the outskirts.

I grew up hunting but haven't in years because of where I live and having a kid imposing limits on free time. Find a bro who knows the area where you live and has hunted there for years. Pay for gas, beer, whatever if someone who knows their shit will take you. Don't hunt drunk.

As for firearms in general, anyone who lives in a US city who doesn't own a gun is insane in my book. Goes double for those with kids. One natural disaster or some real civil unrest is all it would take to make your life real fucked up (Katrina or LA riots, for example). But I also have 3-6 months of food and water on hand at all times, so maybe I'm the crazy one.

I've been hunting a few times and have got a couple deer. One 8 point and one 6 point fat bastard. Gutted them bitches, ate them bitches. Venison is so good.
