A good comeback

They are a bunch of hippy/tree hugging dumb asses.

When they start with me I feed it to them. They start on how you could kill a poor animal, then the usual BS. So I tell them I'm harvesting the animal where as you go to the market and by your slaughtered in humain way of farming the animal which they eat.

Then they say NO I'm a Vegetarian, then I say OH, does it make you happy to have bulldozed houndreds of thousands of hectars of land to grow your vegies and build your home. And how they have distroyed valuble habitat and killed inosent animals they are so called protect. All in the name of eating vegies "How dare they" Even a carrot screams when pulled from the ground!
 
Best movie line ever

Full metal Jacket

to door gunner in a heli " how can you shoot women and children like that?"

Door gunner " easy ya just dont lead em so much "

How can you shoot a cute little deer? easy ya just dont lead em so much:D
 
I normally then ask "do you eat meat?"
They usually answer "yes"
I counter with "So you believe you are morally superior because you pay someone to kill your meat for you?"

Sometimes I also use "I consider it the ultimate in free ranging meat".
 
Good thing the deer don't have guns

I am a lot more “Tongue and Cheek” about the whole question. I do not allow such people to get on my nerves and I turn it into a joke.

My standard reply, given with a huge grin on my face, is:

"Because, if it were the other way around and DEER carried guns, we would all be dead"

Glad to be the one carrying.

KTK a famous or rather infamous news reporter quote in Belfast during the early 70's and an interview with an army sniper:
"How can you shoot in cold blood another human?"
"Well with this rifle you have a two stage trigger so you have to take up the slack first and get your breathing right!"
 
It is very simple:

"We are all part of the system.

I'm a predator. Top of the food chain. It's what I do.:D

I don't ##### about your mom doing ####, so don't bug me.

now have a nice day.:D "

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.

That may well be the best rant I have read in a very long time. I almost choked on my glass of milk.

I had someone at work make a crack about going rabbit hunting last season. I told him that it was either me or the rabbit, and that if he was ever on the receiving end of a wild hare charge he would be wishing he was the one holding the gun too! He just gave me a blank look and walked away.

That was so very well said, not to forget the ones that say (you are cruel to animals) yet at home they got a bird in a cage jailed up until it dies instead of the bird being free to fly around enjoying its life.
 
How can you kill a cute little "Bambi"

I send a 150 grain slug of copper and lead spiraling at 3000 feet per second directly into its vitals. Pretty much how I take care of "Bullwinkle" too!

"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?"...

All sarcasm aside, I think answers like this are probably the best. No point adding to the "nasty, cruel, Neanderthal-IQ hunter" stereotype. One might add, "have you ever been to an abbatoir?" It is also worth pointing out that before the modern, sanitized "factory" age, people washed and laid out their dead for burial. Today, all that unpleasant stuff is done by the funeral home.

I recall reading an article on aboriginal hunters in the old days (and likely today, too, if they live a traditional existence) that they said a prayer to the spirit of the animal they had killed, thanking it for providing for their family. May seem hokey to some today when few people actually have to rely on hunting for subsistence, but most hunters I know respect and admire their quarry and enjoy being out in the wild as much as the hunt itself.

I must hang out in all the right places because in all honesty, I have never been harassed by anybody. When my sister in-law comes over with my niece whom I refer to as the "princess of darkness", the kid makes these ooohhhh sounds and various other comments when she sees my mounts on the walls. I told her she has 2 options: 1 = shut up, 2 = wait outside. That was the end of that.
 
They like eating beef dont they? lol........but the deer dont even feel a thing, it just goes numb then they feel a lil drunk and tip over...i know this because my dads been shot and thats how he described it...
 
Since many anti hunters that I run into are also yuppie types, first I ask them if they are vegetarians. Almost all say no.

Then I say "Do you like to eat free range, organic meat and fish?"

They say yes.

I say "Well, that's what I do. Iget Free range organic meat and fish, and that is what I eat. The only differenc is that I get it mself, I dont buy it."

I find that this approach wins most of them over they go "Oh..HMMM'

They usually say "Well, I coudl never kll anything" And I say of course not, sdo dont' do it. I thik nothing less of you because of that. I *can* do it, so don't look down on me.

Most of them ope thier eyes then. If they don't I go on about other stuff, but most of the time, it works, and we have an "ally" to a certain extent. Or at least we have a NON anti.

Of course, we have veggis, and then i look at thier shoes and belts and say "an animal died for your leather" unless they are wearing rubber and cotton, then I dont' have any ammo...:)

Basically, i think that most peopel view hunting as only TROPHY hunting, and they mistakenly believe that trophy hunters just cut off the heads and go home. They don't have an issue with food gathering, and I find it pointelss to get into much detail abotu how "I *trophy* hunt because I liekto get a BIG deer, but I eat it, too"

Stress the meat aspect, and most will come around.
 
That is a well thought and very diplomatic response Gatehouse.:cool:
I heard one in a line up at the liquor store that stopped me cold yesterday..:eek: .
A young man asked a fellow that was all in camo what he was hunting. The guy answered coyotes... the young man was visibly shocked. He then asked the hunter why he would kill such a beautiful animal? The guy turned right around and quietly said "Cuz it ain't legal to kill people"
