wut do u think the bigger adreniline rush is..hunting..or paintball

[xrancid_milkx]

No, I just can't spell for the life of me

I even tried to look for on dictionary first since I knew I spelt it wrong, guess it doesn't start with an "f."

But seriously if anyone has gone "Pheasant" hunting then you know how much fun it is. Deffinitly an adreniline rush. Much greater than paintball in my opinion.



And sorry for bastardisation again

Your profile states you were born in 1983.

That's a good start

No worries, I can see why the error, but wasn't sure if it was actually an error or not .

Now if only I can get you all to spell aluminIum correctly...

Any real sport hunter will tell you its not in the kill, any one who hunts for food will say the same thing.

The whole point of hunting, for me, is getting out in the woods away from all the idiots in society and just exhisting.

I have never sat in a blind, nor a tree stand, I only carry a brush gun (short barrel .44, not much good for anything beyond 75-100 yards or a 20 gauge if its bird season). I pose no real threat to an animal but if I happen to take something home it goes to grace the table.

As for the adrenalin paintball is a nice constant rush for a long period of time, hunting is a bigger rush than you can imagine or discribe, for a short time.

There is nothing like being in the woods alone, at the mercy of nature with only a picece of metal and wood which shoots tiny pieces of metal, think about the odds. Theres a lot of nature out there.

[MantisMag]

haha. imagine if all the animals decided to rush you at once. you'd be in deep doo doo then!

[Albinonewt]

At least dear don't wipe

Pacifist _Farmer, I still dont see whats "sporting" about huntiing or "sport hunters". Hunting is not a sport. I'm sure your one man struggle against nature is admirable, but your not out hunting anything that can threaten you. You say that carrying a 44. Magnum or a 20 gauge shotgun means you pose "no real threat to an animal". This is the dumbest thing I've heard in this thread yet. I guess the deer in your area of the woods are runnin' around with AK-47's, that would kinda trump the threat level from your 44. However, I have a feeling anything your hunting is unarmed and hasnt the slightest idea its being hunted till you drop it as it's eating breakfest. I'm sorry, that "tiny peice of metal" your 44. is shooting is hardly a spit wad so spare me. If the odds are in anyones favor it sure as hell ain't with the animal, so dont act like runnin' around in the woods with a firearm in your hands agianst a bunch of animals is some kind of ultimate struggle. I like to get away from society in the woods too, but since I'm in easy reach of a grocery store, I don't feel the need to go out of my way to pop a slug into an animal and prove my primal masculinity. My "oneness with nature" is attainable without me having to blow away something, maybe I'm just weird though....

I really hold nothing against anyone that hunts for either a living, food, or enjoyment so long as they do so in a legal fashion, which it seems to me everyone here does.

The reason I don't hunt is because I like straight up competition when ever I do some kind of sport (like paintball or hunting). Even though there is definitly a challenge to hunting it is not a competition. The dear isn't trying to kill you back, it's just trying to get away.

That's my only issue with it, and that's purely a personal preference.

[Konigballer]

Thats a great way to put it Albinonewt, hunting is a challenge not a competition. Competition is the essence of sports. I can go out and drop a retarded kid in dodgeball but that doesnt make me a "sportsmen" if he couldnt defend himself.

Hunting if the thing i am hunting can eat me.

Well yeah, hunting a T-Rex that's angry with me would give a certain amount of adrenaline

[NeroWolfe]

Please....

Any and all of you who think it's not a challenge to hunt needs to either wake up, or try it. I'm not talking about the red-knecked hillbilly style, either!! Yeah, some 'cheaters' bait the animals, then blast 'em. Not exactly a 'sporting' hunt.
The way we hunt is much more difficult. You might get lucky and encounter one sooner, or later, but either way it's a hunt. No flashlights, no bait. My skills at stalking, listening and observing play the biggest role in my success. (not that I'm saying I'm a 'Delta Force' style hunter, or the best)
Now for the most ignorant comments about an animal not being able to fight back. What? What the hell are you talking about? Have you misunderstood the entire meaning of hunting? The origination of it? Hunting, whether for sport or survival is hunting. Just like anything else in the world, it has it's catagories. But it's still hunting. If you don't think it's thrilling, then say that. But making reference to people being inhumane to wildlife because they hunt is absurd, ignorant, immature, must I go on? Oooops, you're entitled to your opinion. BUT, I'd be willing to bet that only 1% of you are actually vegitarians, if any. So I ask again, "What the hell are you talking about?"

[gadget68]

what the.......

Couldn't have put it better, Nerowolfe,well stated. Some of these posts are giving me a headache from trying to understand the meaning behind all the garble.

Some of you folks are talking out of the other hole (not on your face).
Some of you also amaze me as to how you have survived in this educated society we live in.

[Pacifist_Farmer]

Konigballer perhaps I need to clarify, the deer (for instance) in my neck of the woods dont let you get within 300 yards, now if you can bring down a 180 pound animal at 300 yards with a .44 then you are magical.

As for the sporting aspect of Hunting

Do you consider running a sport? Did you know that it is in the olympics? Did you know that walking up and down mountians all day with 20 pounds of clothing and or gear is a lot harder than running? Did you even know that some of us do this in the winter, thats right in snow two, some times three feet deep even! Much more diffucult than running. I think that makes it a sport.

As for the grocery store, I know right where mine is 1/4 mile due north. Ask the next package of Hamburger you pick up if it was able to flee from whatever was pursuing it.

If I can feed my self without buying some animal that had no sporting chance at life, I'm all the better for it.

Come on now, don't sell yourself short. You spend more money on paintball than most people do on a car, and you people who hunt are telling me you cant afford warmer clothes, boots, shirts, jackets and gloves? Hunting is easy, if you have the money. You get one of those tree stands that is a giant enclosed box, with one large slot in the front to shoot from, with a blind covering the hole, you get all the warmest clothing, countless handwarmers, Gallons of deer piss, and earth scent(mask scent)and after that, you could guess at the shot pretty much. Just take pot shots at the deer all day, cuz I've seen people take tvs on hunts(better entertainment). With this equipment, it is easy.

I'm not saying go buy this to take the fun out of it, but atleast get warmer clothing. After that, you can say nothing about the cold.

Man, probably the one of the most untrue comments I've heard. It's all opinion on whether or not you agree with hunting or not and I'm not gonna try and convince anything one to agree or not. I've been hunting for nearly 8 years and have to say it's way harder than they make it out to be on tv. Untill you actually are waking up hours before the sun rises and hiking 5-10 miles in the mountains with 20-30 pounds of gear all before the sun comes up, just to get to that spot where you'll even start to hunt then I don't think you should be making coments on if it's hard or not. What is shown on tv is only a small portion of what it actually is, at least in Washington. You're not just sitting in a blind or tree stand for hours, you actually do a lot of moving as well as sitting but it's not like you're just "taking pot shots" at deer all day, it's a lot of work but the reward is worth it. And yes my family that I hunt with aren't just trophey hunters, we eat everything we kill.

And for anyone that wants to make comments about how hunters are just killing harmless animals better think long and hard about what that cow went through before it was served to you at your local fast food place.

Just my 2 cents.
