What are your views on hunting animal for sport? Do you consider it a sport? Do you even consider it justifiable?
I, for one, do not support hunting at all. It is a "sport" that involves luring an unknowing animal to a certain location (via scents, calls, bait, etc.), setting up a rifle that is bound to kill the animal with little to no risk of you being seen or injured, waiting, then killing. I mean, besides the single shot you take on an unsuspecting, usually motionless animal is the only thing you could possibly f*ck up. It's no more a sport than putting cheese on a mouse trap, or hitting a fly with a newspaper.
Yet because you're killing things that could potentially harm you if managed to be stupider than a downy chimp hitting itself with a brick, it's considered a sport. I mean, if MMA consisted of one guy being chained you the cage and the other guy cutting his head of with a sword, it wouldn't be considered a sport, it would be murder. The only possible way hunting could ever be a "sport" is if the hunter went unarmed into the forest while naked, attacked a deer/bear/moose/animal larger than a badger with his bare hands and managed to come out victorious. Now, you're saying "But that isn't fair, the other animal would kill him". DAMN RIGHT IT WOULD! And you know why? Cause we aren't supposed to be killing them!
Please note, this is about hunting for game, not for survival.
We are obviosly born in different parts of the world... First, it serves a perpose in nature. It keeps checks and balances, since the human race tends to kill any preditor that whould have kept them in check. And besides that, maney people bow hunt, witch negates the effect of a garenteed kill. And some people don't use bait, calls, or any of that crap, but actually search for the dear. I think I covered all your points.

as for the main thread,i think it's about time someone created a stimulation machine
Personally i find sports hunting ill mannered, I mean killing animals that haven't even done anything to you and are much defenseless than you are... It's just inhumane, I find it as bad as killing a person but if it's for survival then it's eat or be eaten. But if it's sports... Go and play some basketball.
Hunting deer is a necessity as for protection the predators which used to keep them in control have been killed to the point where if the deer population was not kept in check they would have so many babies that they and other species would begin to starve once all the food was gone.

Animals use their advantages(biological) and we use ours(tools), in sports you are supposed to try to win, including using advantages.
Cause we aren't supposed to be killing them!
Naturally, yes we are supposed to be killing them, if we did not kill any animals they would have killed us off a long time ago.

Sure it is, unlike what you mentioned, hunting takes some skill and knowledge.

Hunting is a sport (whether youre hunting for food or trophy). You make it seem like the hunter teleports to his/her wanted location...NOPE, it usually includes a long hike over rough terrain. Lets not forget if you actually kill anything, occasionally your prey doesn't just flop down after you hit it (it runs off through thick woods), well that means you are going to have to track it. Then when you find the beast the fun part begins, you have to get it out of the woods! (note, I am talking about large game) You could also include gutting the animal...AND one more thing, finding your way out of the woods at night...

See, this confuses me...there are several reasons to hunt animals:
1)Trophy: Hunting an animal for their size and possibly horn, usually to mount the animal on your wall.
2)Conservation: Killing off animals to keep their population in check, usually because there are not enough natural predators to do the job. This actually helps the enviroment.
3)Food: To kill an animal for food, because it usually provides a well needed boost to your family's food supply and saves A LOT of money.
I'll be honest with you, I hunt even though I hate to kill anything, but if my family needs me to kill something I will do it.
True, but most people don't like bears, wolves, and cyotes in therre backyard, pastures, or cities so we kill them. Thus we need to keep the population of everything they used to keep in check in check. I also forgot the food point brought up by bronze. Even if your against killing, you need to eat, and if your rich, you could even just donate it to some charities...
sure i support hunting,but when we are making a speicies endangered,thats when i disagree with hunting.im not all for it but i dont hate it either,hunting could mean bonding to a father and son,too.but if you are a insane person who kills for fun i would go against it.there is also hunting to eat,im on either side of hunting.
@ Sonic You obviosly never have gone hunting before, first, I don't think there are to maney donkey tags. Second, hunters were bright orange vests that make it painfully obviose to other human that your human.
