I want to hunt, but I believe I'm unable to do it

[red state]

All of us, RED STATE, good ole boys look alike. The bottom of footwear usually looks pretty much identical when you've crossed a good ole boy, suddenly find yourself a bit dazed and see the thunder coming down upon you. HA!!! Kidding of course but this "RED STATE RULES" guy sounds like a great AMERICAN!

To make it clear, this new member is not our old RSR. I think he just happened to choose a similar username.

Red State, not sure if I welcomed you in the introductions thread, but welcome again!

Any way I can convince or pay you to use a different color than that bright red? I keep thinking I'm a bull and something is trying to stab me. Either that or I am hallucinating!

All I want to say, on topic, is that I could never hunt. I don't stand against it, I just could never do so myself. I eat deer and other larger animals and even eat small game and what not. Just as in slaughterhouses and such, I choose to remain ignorant and just enjoy my meal. I don't think this makes hunters bad people, nor me a wuss. Everyone is different, including those who choose not to eat meat. I'll support anyone with a choice but won't 'push' anything on anyone.

Thanks JIMNYC,

I will tone my hue and attitude down as much as possible and appreciate your thoughtful and well written comment. I agree with you 110%. If one wants to hunt...by all means, HUNT. IF you don't, I can still be your friend and since I donate meat from time to time, would have no problem sharing my blessings with others (whether they believe in the importance of hunting or not).

I also appreciate the kind welcome and apologize for not introducing myself. I was a bit blind in getting accustomed to navagating here but all seems to be going well. I am not able to post as much as I'd like but will do so with every chance that my breaks from work will allow. This site definitely seems a better than the other one and you guys should be seeing even more new members lately, such as TYR. I haven't seen another member that I had hoped to see (OLD SALT) but I'm sure he is simply busy for now.

Kind regards to ALL (even the liberals) HA!!!

fishing is easier....we have catch and release....(though if you promise not to tell my kids, the reason they always managed to catch more fish than dad was that I generally didn't bother to put bait on my hook.....I just enjoyed sitting on the shore with my cap over my eyes)......

Very true, I love fishing! The only time I would ever keep would be like a 10lb Largemouth Bass and above, to stuff the bastard. Other than that everything gets dumped right back in the water. I'm sure they aren't thrilled with having a hook ripped through them and dragged to the surface, but after all, they started it by trying to steal my food!

Good to see you made it my friend! I sent you that invite 2 days ago, what took ya so long?
A GREAT SITE ISNT IT?
So far five of us that I know of have left the old forum and came here.
You will notice its we strong conservatives that left. We that refused to be mistreated in favor of anti-American trolls there.
Take my word for it amigo. A damn lot of fine people here and here one can talk like an adult.
I'll send ya a pm in about an hour or so , my wife needs serious attention, our son just went to play at a friend's house for a few hours. Daddy's going to be busy for a spell..--Tyr

My guess? not him.

IT's not, I was wrong.

Doesn't happen often.

That's why I don't bother debating you too often. It would hurt your ego.

Getting back on topic...there's nothing wrong with hunting if done properly, respectfully and responsibly.

Now, getting a bit off topic again...Hey guys/gals, bow season is just around the corner (Sept. for Tennessee) (Sept and/or October for Mississippi) and I can't wait to bring home some nice, fresh, wholesomely, naturally (organic to you liberals) RED meat!!!! I believe I'll take one for dining and utilize one, entire animal to jerky. I did this last year and the jerky really came in handy for our trip to the mountains of Tennessee (during our annual Thanksgiving trip).

If it is OK...I'd be thrilled to post photos, update folks on achievements, share recipes and hunting tips/tactics. I haven't hunted with a gun in well over 5 years now but I'd still be thrilled to talk guns as well. Of course, that can be started by a new thread....TYR, I'll leave that to you since I started a BOW SEASON thread once before.

Hope to see a lot of folks participate in TYR's thread....I know I'm looking for some sensible folks responding with respect. It would be great to get responses from those who genuinely wish to LEARN and don't have a problem with being open minded. After all, isn't that what it was all about to be liberal once upon a time?

So, I guess this is it on this thread...

Id like to get your jerky recipe; maybe just post it in the food/recipe forum.
I don't see any problem with posting pics and what not, so long as its respectful to the animal; which, judging by your post, won't be an issue.

Sure thing. I once used a dehydrator but now do it in my self cleaning oven....much easier and BETTER. I never did like that store bought dehydrator that took up space. I'll try and locate the food section her on DP....still trying to get around this great site.

As for the photos...no tacky stuff and YES, I do respect the game for which I pursue and harvest. I'm a manager and, once upon a time, a trophy seeker. I've ALWAYs utilized the meat and do my own butchering. I am no longer a trophy seeker BUT I certainly will send an arrow at a nice 8pt rather than a doe (IF they are within reasonable distance and happen to be together). HA! The meat is just a good (usually) and I do enjoy looking at my "achievements" on the wall.

Thanks for the post!!!!
