Author Topic: Shooting a deer  (Read 3819 times)


It's a weird feeling the first time you do it. With a gun you can do it from a distance. You're removed from it. I regularly hunt rabbits in the neighborhood that ruin the gardens around here. Two weeks ago I didn't get a good shot at one so it didn't die right away. I hit it but it was crawling away. I went up close to and finished it off; point blank.

For a few seconds I watched as it tried to escape into the brush. I didn't line up the rifle normally for this shot. I wanted to see the rabbit up close as it died. I watched its eyes as I pulled the trigger. As soon as the bullet made contact all the color from its eyes flushed away instantly and it went limp. I'm having trouble explaining how it made me feel.

I'd do it again though.


Next time, break its neck.

I think it's fine.

But then again I was raised in a place where more people have hunting licenses in their wallets than don't.

Why the hell couldn't you? I mean, have you ever eaten any meat at all and thought about how they got it?
You are dull. Did I ever once say I don't eat meat. I love to eat meat, I'm not the one killing the animal.

Then why did you start a topic about shooting a deer if you aren't the one shooting it?

Why would you jump on its back and/or break its neck? Besides, the deer where I hunt can hear an apple dop from a half mile away.

245 lbs on your back in a second. I'm sure you'd fall over

Shoot a deer? Nah.
Run over it? Definitly. My car gets eyelashes.

GO BEAR GRYLLS ON THAT pusillanimous individual DEAR

You think a wolf cares if it kills a dear? Why should I?

You're Oasis, of course not.
