God gave main dominion over all the creatures in the sky, on land and in water.

Hunting is one of the biggest thrills you can have in this life, the kill is just a part of it. I suggest you try it sometime

I think the last statement can be a little misleading. Some of the people that hunt "just for the thrill" care more and do more for the animals than anyone else. I would say that many if not most hunters hunt for the thrill of it, or they wouldn't do it. Few hunt out of necessity anymore, mainly due to the cost.

That being said, hunters do more and give back more to the environment, animals, and have created organizations that make up a majority of the funds that go to creating wetlands, help with habitation improvements, restocking, etc.

I love to hunt, I eat most of the animals that I kill, but don't let me fool you...I hunt for the thrill of it but I don't hunt to kill. I have much respect for the animals that I hunt and I have risked my body numerous times to save animals from fences, mud, creeks, crevices and sometimes have had to put them down to alleviate their suffering.

Bought me some new camo this year too.

You must be hunting around the Bastrop area!

If it don't rain soon it might the camo of choice for the whole dang state.

hello all,

i'm sorry if my earlier words offended anyone. that was not at all my intention. i am not here to judge, criticize, tell you that what you do is wrong, etc. that's honestly not the case - heck if that were the case i'd join PETA and i don't mean "People Eating Tasty Animals"... ;o)

i'm realistic. i know that hunting is necessary. i just personally can't do. i respect those who can. on that note i purposely joined THF to be a part of a community of conservationists and to from you guys.

if it helps any, we're having tasty broiled red deer steaks for dinner. i'd invite ya'll to join but i wasn't expecting any guests and only defrosted enough for 2. sorry... ;o)

They might not see "colors" but they see something. No where in nature do large patches of bright colors exist.

That is the most factually inaccurate statement on this thread. Have you ever seen a corral snake. Do me a favor and google South American monkeys. You will find lots that have very bright colored patterns. Go snorkeling in Hawaii and tell me "no where in nature do large patches of bright colors exist." These all occur in nature.

Do we have coral colonies in Texas?

Are coral/king snakes 6 ft tall and 200lbs?
