actually new studies have shown plants can sense when harm is about to befall them. even when I eat a plant, I still like to leave some of it behind so it can regrow.Aussie_hippie_2 said:
'06 Deer Season *warning* pics of deer
- Thread starter loaches r cool

That is true, but it's still taking life. I think animals are here for us to eat. I remember the food chain.Aussie_hippie_2 said:

Back to what the thread originally started as...
Nice pic, Loaches R.
I overheard a lady at the grocery store telling the story to a friend about a deer running into her truck. It did so much damage. It was still alive, but suffering badly. Her BIL showed up and put the deer out. It was a ten-point, I believe. I'm always afraid of hitting one, especially two weeks ago when one leapt in front of my truck at the last second (I was doing 15 in a 25). Luckily, I was able to stop.
I know this was about your hunting success and not a deer accident. But seeing the points on your buck reminded me of it.

I thank everyone for thier input! We have kept the discussion pretty civilized. But to get back to my original intent I hope we can stop debating the ethics of hunting and such. Beleive me it is a long debate that could eventually require a mod to shut it down.
I was mainly trying to see if there were other hunters out here on AC, and if they had any stories to share or any pics of this years 'harvest' (that arent bloody and gorey!). I also went turkey huntin' but didnt get a turkey, mostly spent my time deer hunting.
I also designed and built a ladder stand this year:

Relax man. I respect anyone's opinion. You have to if you're going to be as opinionated as me!Rallysman said:That is true, but it's still taking life. I think animals are here for us to eat. I remember the food chain.

Sorry for the derailment of the thread. I don't have any pictures of dead deer but when I opened the hood for the first time after the accident there was a nice chunk of deer!
Thanks for helping me out with that! I'm a kid, and sometimes I can't get my point across that clearly.Aussie_hippie_2 said:

I'm only 17. I just really like science which is why I like fish keeping. But enough with the arguing and lets get on the track this thread was sposed to be on.
have you thought about going out there naked and hunting them with your fists and wits ? maybe there'd be more pride when you win. i just feel that it's quite an uneven match, what with them being naked and unarmed with no camouflage. not trying to flame you but i'd be more accepting had it been a more even match between beast and man.
*sigh* Hunting isn't all easy. Good, respectful and well trained hunters will only shoot when they have a definite clear shot. For the seventeen years I've known my husband, he's only got two deer. My father-in-law has been hunting since he was fourteen, and he has never got a deer. Don't go thinking they aren't clever animals that can't avoid hunters. They are.
Trust me, this debate has happened before and the thread has been shut down. Perhaps that's the purpose a member or two may have in mind to let this thread disappear. But there's nothing wrong with discussing something some people have in common. Just keep it civil.
And yes, deer do have the ability to camouflage themselves. That's why a lot of hunters go home empty handed.

you'd be surprised.... when you are hunting deer, if you give the slightest inkling as to your whereabouts, it bolts so fast you think you never saw it. It's not easy lining up a good shot, either. it's a even match alright. we may have the technological advantage, but they definelty have the physical and the home field advantage.jennfier said:
