The thing I enjoy the most is when you take you're kill home and skin and gut it, then prepare it to what ever you feel like. My mentor shot a pigeon and cooked it the other night and showed me the different types of methods of cooking the game animals and it is just the fact that you have killed and cooked you're own food gives you that sense of self appreciation You`re a really bloody guy! In my heart beat 2 total different hearts. One from my father, who was a real hunter (and he took me along sometimes and I saw animals dying from his gun), and on the other side my grandfather who was a blacksmith and who loved every animal. He would have given his life to save a horse`s life for instance. And in me both sides are excisting, don´t liking each other and fighting each other.

i too enjoy hunting , but, its more the time i spend with my dad , and my "Hunting buddies" also, i love the forest, and , it pretty much gives me a week - 2 weeks off of school to spend in a forest, im happiest if i com ehome with a deer just because i was able to do what our ancestors would have done, and i have a traditional hunting bow for most deer, and i also have a handgun i cary with me , incase my shot wasnt perfectly true, and i have to quickly put an animal out of its missery, i use the intestines as sausage casings, and i tan the leather using a very old teqnique using the brain and fluids, and , i eat all the meat, i agree with all of you tho, i probably would have the same outlook if i werent raised as a hunter, i do it because i can spend time with my father, and because , i know it makes him proud of me
also, Farmed meat is the worst thing ive ever heard of, and i rarely eat meat from large distributors, and, about hunting, its a usefull part of wildlife management, if 1 member of the food chain suddenly stops killing something its been killing for thousands of years, then there will be a population explosion of the animal that isnt being killed, and studies have shown that more animals will die from starvation because the ecosystem in that particular area cannot hold that much of one kind of animal, and these animals die and no one knows and they just sit and rot, anyways, thats all i have to say
Dont hate me

I understand, hunting with a bow seems fair enough and also appeals to my primitive feelings about living like our ancestors. Also needs a severe training, I like to do some archery, but not of any level, do it just just for fun on sitting targets . Hunting is in a way the old game between hunter and pray, both struggling to survive, though this isn't really necessary in our world anymore. I also know the urge for primitive life, but I'm sure I would find it really hard to kill. I think it's far worse for animals to live in overcowded cages (like chicken and pigs) or forever at the same spot inside (like cows) and never see the sun and feel the wind and experience freedom, than to be hunted down by a skilled hunter. Things farmers do to these animals, unsedated castration of pigs, the way chicken get boxed for transportation... are really bad. I don't eat meat because of this, I don't want to be responsible for all this suffering. I love the taste of meat, it's for me the best thing to eat, but not in this way. If I could pay meat that has had a natural (well more or less) life, I would certainly do that. But for now this is the right choice for me. So, I do not at all condemn you, or think it's disgusting. It's everyones own choice and own resposibility.

Me personally enjoy the hunt, only becuase I am away from the noisy streets and it's a time to unwind and just be away from civilsation for 3 hours or so. It's not as if me and my friend thirts fro blood, we kill the animal in the most humane way. We stick them in a gun slips and take them home and prepare them for a meal or anything else. The other week I had Tandorri Rabbit(even though the rabbit had it's vengence on me But it's not just the killing, it's the quality time you spend with you're hunting buddy, be in the wilderness and the satisfaction that if you do kill an animal you get to cook it you're self instead of buying crappy meat from the shops. But I do look at both sides of the argument

Sorry to double post- Also that's why I hunt. The animals have experience freedom and felt the sun and wind against them and as my good man Troll' said, its about the ecosystem aswell. I think it is bad about the farmed animals being kept the way they are- it's horrible, but the meat from the supermarket could only be 20% pure meat. So if I do eat meat, it's only from the local and traditional butcher- or whatever my friend has killed (in a humane way;))

If there is no need in killing, I won't do it...
But I go to special field archery tournaments and animal tournaments. those are shooting on plastic animal, sometimes moving, to the fun is there, too. One of the better things is, you are in nature, and quite early... last time before we even started, a real deer ran just past us... Very nice experience.

i thought i would post my other opinion which some people want to ban hunting. to be honest i do not see the point becuase here in the uk and other countires it is a heritage aswell as an old tradition and i purly only go hunting for the meat and experience is a bonus but certain people dont see is that the farmers set traps to catch the animals to protect their live stock but they are putting the animlas through a suffering and pain through the traps where as the way i hut is that i shoot it an dmake sure it is put down straight away so there is no suffering and none of the animal is wasted

I don't go hunting, but I like fishing. Whenever I have the time I give it a go for a night or two sitting at the lake and hoping for some fish.

I think fishing is more cruel than just hunting... because with the hook, the fishes suffer longer. and almost every time you catch one... (or do you fish with an harpoon? (My uncle used to...)

Hey Olli, are you going to hunt down some Finnish recipes? Please don't forget comma's and dots in your sentences! Pardon? (Have I been making a nuisance of myself again with my punctuation?. He he my teacher has been saying the exact same thing as Virva about my punctuation about the posts and my coursework. My problem is that i tend to stray away from using them and more concentrated on what i am typing. I know how to use them appropriately, but i am more concentrated on what i am typing, so at least what i am typing makes sense to my teacher) When I get the recipes I shall share them with you
