when is it no longer hunting and just shooting?

I think shooting a deer at anything more than 100yds is being a Sniper. Anything 100 yds or less is being a Hitman.

 

Most debates are

 

So your fine with someone walking into the woods with an AK47 or some other ridiculous weapon and shooting whatever walks in front of him then leaving the carcass to rot?

because im not for that sort of "unethical" type of hunting.

 

that's not legal .... this entire thread makes no sense ...

 

yes. no matter what, like some one previously said, someone is gonna think your hunting is too easy.

 

who cares what they think?

 

no where did i say i cared.

 

The definition of hunting, is the question, here.

Hunting is about putting food on the table. This is where it started, and, this is where it ends. So, any legal means of taking game, for this purpose, is hunting.

Native Americans ran buffalo off of cliffs- that was hunting.

We shoot deer at 20yards with a bow- that's hunting.

So, can this be taken in "context" ? Not really, because hunting is hunting. How you go about the ultimate goal, taking wildlife, is a sub category under HUNTING.

 

I'll have to scan back to my last post and see if I can find where I implied all of that....














Wait...



















Ok, it's official...you pulled that out of thin air

 

I don't think your original question said anything about a hunter shooting any deer and leaving the carcass to rot. I thought your original post was about a hunter LEGALLY shooting a LEGAL deer with a LEGAL gun. If it didn't, please clarify.

You definition of unethical is illegal in my mind. There's a difference between the two.

 

Just for S&G;s.....what's illegal about PT's scenario? (at least in NC)

 

I can't believe anybody would use a gun.. Gun hunters just suck and can't get deer within bow range..

 

I hear ya, Rory.....lol

What kinda bow?

 

Selfbow of course.
