    One sided? Yes, and the odds are stacked IN FAVOR of the deer! In many states most hunters never kill a deer despite many hours of hunting.

    It's not like they walk around in broad daylight waiting for you to shoot them. They have better sight, hearing, smell, and intimate knowledge of their home terrain.

    That's why it's such a thrill to get close enough to see them/kill them.

    It's a thrill like sex is a thrill, or fighting is a thrill. It's part of our evolutionary wiring. If you didn't hunt (eat) fuck or fight you and yours would be gone from the Earth.

    Do you have sex as a "job"?
    "I will now deposit my sperm inside you. Let me beat off a little first so I can make the intercourse shorter and more efficient." :unsure:

    Remember, we humans were hunting for about 60,000 years before we developed farming. And life in general has been fucking and fighting for billions of years. Unless you are a completely rewired human these are all natural drives and instincts. :salute:

    I know for a fact golf isn't easy. Although I admittedly hate it and greatly dislike having to chase a ball around trying to get it into a very small hole. :lol:
    Sounds like a snipe hunt if you ask me. :lol: :lol: ;)

    I assure you it was no snipe hunt.

    Although I wonder about my cousin. He's the big deer hunter and I got two this weekend. About 10 minutes after I got my deer, he fired. He then had us spend 45 minutes looking for blood on the deer he's "not sure if he hit."

    He has a freaking awesome scope and he's not sure if he HIT it?!

    Yeah, right! ;)

    If deer didn't want me to hunt them, they would make themselves less tasty.

    And, that's all I have to say about that... :clyde:

    Probably a sense of accomplishment, excitement in one's ability to endure the elements and kill a wild animal. Most hunters sit in their blinds all day (not the most comfortable thing to do successfully in the winter), while some actively stalk their prey.

    The argument is that it's cruel, well so's steak. I don't care, so long as it isn't taunted and tortured before it dies.

    The ability to kill is literally the power of life and death, these are powerful stimuli in our brains and they carry huge symbolic weight in our culture (where survival was traditionally upon the household to hunt), not the mere technical proficiency. Oldfella's right, it's hardwired into our brains (whether or not you decide it's enjoyable is another matter, but I guarantee you that finding and killing your deer is exciting).

    Sure it's primitive. But so's fucking.

    65 posts and Mewa hasn't come in wanking about the evils of guns and hunting yet?

    He must be busy cheating on his girlfriend tonight. :ramen:

    Well I'd rather fuck than hunt. Especially when you can just buy the meat, all ready to cook.

    How bout you?

    There is a point where starvation overwhelms sex drive.

    Yeah, like 60,000 years ago. When there was no place to pick up a slice.

    I guess that's why we have prostitutes. Instead of investing time , effort and money into seducing a woman we can just pay for a sure thing -
    all ready to cook as it were. :)

    I cannot disagree with this.
