And male deers can be a nuissance, I know that, but only if they see you as a threat. So just stay out of their territory, just like they stay out of our's.
And hunting elephants with bows is not a good example, since ivory-hunters in Africa usually use shotguns. A bow, not even a crossbow or English longbow can penetrate the elephant's body lethally in a few shots. And a lion is a protected animal.
Oh and dying of starvation is only natural, the corpses will be food for other lifeforms. Do not be such a fool, the idea of humans being "God's sheepdogs" is very oldfashioned and so far from the truth that even priests stopped believing in it. Ever heard from Charles Darwin, and things like "natural selection" and "survival of the fittest"?
And a lot of hunters (not all though) actually are like Gazz putted it. At least here in Europe, our idea of how the avarage hunter looks like, is like that.

So, you say you get your information from animal planet? Hmmm... and your supposed to be an expert about hunting? Everything you said just shows your ignorance on the great sport of hunting. And as far as going near roades and littering goes, no hunter I've ever met has littered in the wildlife and we have laws about hunting to close to the road and near homes. Nobody has ever had the respect to the wildlife as much as hunters do or donated anywhere near as much money as hunters have here in america. Sport hunting in Africa brings $200 million a year to the african wildlife and feeds the african people. starvation is a slow painfull death to the animals. A bullet or arrow is a much more humane death.
We also don't have to go into the wildlife to make deer become a pest! They are over-populating and are coming into urban environments and destroying our crops because the wild can't contain them. Oh and don't try to bring religion into it because I've ask every priest I've ever met what they thought of hunting and they said that there is nothing wrong with sport hunting and that they believe it does alot of good for animal conservation!
Do some actual research rather than get your answers from Discovery Channel, Animal Planet etc.!
I am so done with this forum and site! So, if you respond I'm not going to see it or respond to it. Your responses to the REAL sport of hunting wouldn't make any sense anyways. You people sound like those peta asswholes that make up blatant lies to end hunting. I'm off to chat with real people who acually know what the fuck they are talking about and acually make sense.
