if I told you there was no sport or fun involved in deer hunting I would be a liar. I do harvest the deer for food but I don't have to. I could just go to the store and buy beef. Matter of fact I did just that for our Christmas Dinner. I bought a Prime Rib Roast. It cost me $112.00US. It was delicious. But had a lot of fat, LOL.

I enjoy Deer hunting. Just like I enjoy Turkey hunting and occasionally Rabbit hunting. Not a lot of Rabbits here though. Too many coyotes. Now there is something people shoot just for fun, Coyotes. Kind of like fox hunting I guess. I don't shoot anything I don't plan to eat.
I also like fishing. It is fun to catch fish. It is also fun to eat them, especially Walleye. If you never had Walleye you would be in for a treat. I use a pole with a very sharp hook to catch fish. It don't kill them but I bet it hurts like hell when that hook goes in. Of course I have to kill the fish with my hands after I catch them, or just let them suffocate.

I'm not sure which is better. A bullet through the lungs or a Hook in the lip.

But I still think it beats a sledge hammer between the eyes.

Now I have shot the occasional Raccoon trying to raid my Chicken house. I have lost a lot of chickens to raccoons. If I see them in my chicken house I kill them. I don't eat raccoons. Some folks do, I don't.

So I don't want any kind of gun controls. I don't think it is any bodies business how many guns I have. I don't have any handguns right now. No real use for them. But when I lived in Chicago I had one. I can protect my property just fine with a shotgun.
