(1,423 posts)I see numerous hunters at my cashier job. Some of them are not good with guns or at hunting. They want a photo op with their kid or just tell their buddies they've been out hunting for two months.
$40,000.00 truck. 10 grand in guns, ammo, fuel, camo and other gear. That doesn't count the end I see as a cashier, $50 for energy drinks, $10 for Copenhagen, gas station food, beer and other items. Can't you just go to the store and buy some beef with cash like that? Some of them must have awful luck or be bad at hunting, because all I would need to do is go car camping at my old campsite in the woods for about 24 hours to get whatever game I wanted. I don't hunt or own a gun but its not that difficult to find game.
Its all about the thrill of the kill for some, or just succumbing to peer pressure. A dear old friend of mine was a hunter and he told me the last time he killed a deer it took a little piece of his soul. He said he was looking into its eyes when he shot it. He quit hunting then and there.
Sport hunting should be shamed out of existence, but the death threats to this guy are counterproductive. Now the rhino killer is a victim!
