    The fawn grew into a buck and "mother" run his *** out of the woods the same as all his "brothers". That's why you shot the b!t@h:)

    I just ask, "what do you eat, rocks?" "No!" "Then you are responsible for animals and plants dying too, you just have someone else do the deed for you". End of discussion.

    Someone needs to do a spoof of an anti-hunter stalking up on the frozen food section of a whole foods and sticking his Credit Card in a T-bone and then taking it home to his family all jacked up and proud of himself:) Have camo made up of packages of food to blend in with an isle in the grocery store. He the guy spending the whole day just slowly stalking the isle

    This is the first time in the history of the world that a person would even think that way about about eating animals. They are so out of touch of how the food gets to them and they have so much, they never have to even stop to think of where it comes from.

    Ain't life grand?

    If you could please everyone and live with yourself you would then be a god. As it is you are just a mortal man. But you did well and responded to those who only wanted shame you to their way of thinking. Hunt on!

    I only share my hunting photos or stories with hunters now. I tell the non-hunters I talk to that my NM Elk hunts are hiking trips, and they LOVE that as there raving about how good the Elk steak I made them taste:)

    I keep thinking someone must of done by now:)


    How about a spoof of two businessmen standing by their truck talking with each other and they turn and see a hunter and his son dragging a deer out of some thick wooded. With smiles on their faces the hunters load a nice buck on to a side by side and drive off. The two guys start ripping on hunters, commenting on how terrible it is the way hunters treat animals and the wildlife in this world.

    And with that the camera pans around and shows what the two businessmen where looking at before and its miles and miles of the remains of a freshly leveled forest and then one guy says, finishing their conversation, "And after the trees and everything are removed from these 25,000 acres we'll put the electric fencing around the entire area to keep the animals out and plant edmames. We will make a killing with all the vegans in the world now:)

    I don't know any anti hunter people other than a few family members and that is by design.

    Anytime a guy posts hunting pics on social media you are opening the proverbial "Pandora's box". You handled it well.
