As a fellow hunter, I am sure we all heard it all before from anti hunters, stupid remarks like-Killers-and what gun does the deer shoot with and all that crap. What my question to you guys is what good comeback replies do you throw back at them? Not only am I curious but I need some new ammo.:cool:

Last year my then 16 year old son was getting a hard time at school from some girls about shooting a bear, they pressured him about how he could do it. After a while he told because he could.
He later got into the thing about his favourite moment is when he gets to same to himself I'm god and your not to the critter.

I don't know how that one went over withthe girls, but he didn't get kicked out of school.
 
I've been asked a few times over the years " how could you shhoot that cute little deer?"

My reply has always been " It's tough sometimes, you have to allow for their running around and jumping!"

"How could you shoot that beautiful animal?"

If I'm feeling thoughtful and the questioner is not a total a**hole then I like to point out that the beautiful animal had the opportunity to lead a free existence as God and nature intended, and that the meat obtained this way was a lot more honest than some poor critter living in deplorable slavery on a factory farm for the sole purpose of winding up in shrink-wrap at the local Loblaw's.

If the guy IS an a**hole, or if I'm feeling like one, then I just say that I prefer a double-lung shot if it's broadside, but will take out the shoulder as well if it's quartering to or away from me.:)

I know these types I see and hear them every day, granola crunching, pro animal rights, vegans that are also adamant forest activists and in general what I like to refer to as a "CAVE" people (citizens against virtually everything). They do all of the above while they hypocritically wear leather shoes, jackets and god forbid pants, have piercings that are filled with metal rings that require various factory mining operations to extracate what is now in their face, live in wood houses, distribute paper leaflets with their various causes plastered in toxic ink (someone should really tell them paper is made out of wood) and drink gallons of starbucks coffee and soy products that require the destruction and conversion of tropical rain forest to plant.

You know the people who want highway like roads and walking trails with markers every fifteen feet cut in swaths through the parks and remote areas of Canada so they can access them with their carpet rat punt me dogs and styrofoam starbucks garbage and have the chance to enjoy nature without actually venturing very far from their honda shetruck because there are creepy things like "spiders and stuff".

These are the folks that know all about the wild, what is sustainable and what hunters should and shouldn't do because they read their latest activist rag miles inside the pavement prisons in which they live and have no idea where what they shove in their faces comes from.

Is that enough ammo for you? If it were me I wouldn't waste my breath. Just go for the short answer: nice leather shoes how do you think the animal that gave it's skin for them died? At least I am willing to do the animal the honor of doing my own dirty work.

my usual reply....i hunt and harvest my own meat..... then i ask......who is the mean person that does the killing of the meat in your freezer?..then if they got me really riled up..i just say to the twit.....awwwww neaver mind..i dont want to listen to a person who is not man enough to do his own dirty work...
 
I get asked that stupid question a lot.:rolleyes:
I have given my answer a lot of thought and I have come up with a response that usually stops people cold.

"I shoot animals as a traditional and personally rewarding method to satisfy my basic human urge to kill for survival and to feed my family. Hunting is a healthy and rewarding lifestyle that has been a cornerstone of democratic civilizations since the birth of mankind. Thanks for asking".:)

If they get stupid or try to ridicule you then you can just point to their fat ass and say "I can see why you buy your food at Loblaws... you like your meat with lots of fat on it.":eek:
 
Had an anti out by one of our spots this fall, a buddies wife, ackward situation to say the least. Yelling and screaming "run deer run", never seen anything like it in my life. Gave her a call that night to say thank-you etc. :mad:
"Thanks for coming by tonight, things were kinda slow but after you started yelling deer were running everywhere. Shot 4. Can you come by next year?":D

"Are you suggesting that your buying your meat in a big box store wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam is more natural than me going into the wilderness and stalking, killing, cleaning and eating my own meat?"

"It might make you feel better that the number of animals taken by hunters each year does not come close to the number that starve to death slowly in the dark over the winter."

"I like my meat without gobs of fat, antibiotics, steroids, dyes and preservatives in it. I also like that deer don't live cheek to cheek with a thousand other animals, ankle deep in their own ####."

Hey, I've got more...

:)
 
It's the best way to get free range, totally organic, non-sweatshop, non-corporate, sustainable resource, low eco-impact, Kyoto friendly, ultra lean meat.

Too bad that this is too long for a bumper sticker, because it sure needs to be immortalized somehow! Carpet rat punt me dogs! Honda Shetrucks!

Perfect!!

For me it's always the same co-workers and one family member that give me a hard time year after year so they get my yearly " shut the f**k up and mind your own business speach". These are also the same people that ask me for meat after a successful hunt! I don't go around bragging or telling people of my successful hunts. If they ask me, I will tell them of my experience. If they don't ask I keep to myself.

If it's someone that I don't really know and they are polite about it. I will say something like " I'm sorry that you don't share the same views as I do on hunting" and leave it at that. if they want to continue the conversation then, we will.
 
I had a comment a few years ago
" poor defenceless deer and you just shot him!?"
I replied:
Sure did! I gutted and ate him too. BTW, do you want a 3rd serving of the sausage I made from him?:runaway:

Another reply I give:
I guess you'd rather everyone just hit them with their vehicles on their way to work.
 
I tell them that the other day a saw a show of how a pride of lions took down a water buffalo and how one lion was holding the LIVE buffalo by the head while the others were starting to it eat.

Nothing I do as a hunter is as cruel as mother nature.

Mine are usually dead in less then 30 seconds
