I'M NOT SHOOTING BAMBI!!

So I went hunting for my forth year today. It's was cold. It was really cold. It was like when hell freezes over this is how it will feel...cold. But I did it anyways. I got to shoot, didn't hit anything, but oh well. Thing is yet again I was talking to a girl from Lakeville yesterday at a Yig deal and guess what she said when I said I hunted. "I could never go out and shoot Bambi."

OK the next person who says that too me, I will shoot. I'm not shooting a cartoon deer that speaks English and has a little rabbit friend named Thumper. I'm shooting at a wild animal that lives in the forest and doesn't speak. And trust me a deer isn't that cute. I can attest to that. That's the thing that gets me really ticked. When people sit there and say, "Don't kill dear, those poor little animals never did anything to you." Yeah, the point of hunting is not just to kill.

The point of hunting is two things, sport and food. We don't shoot the dear and leave dead in the middle of the field, we take it and eat the meat, also known as venison. Hey I'm not saying I don't like PETA, standing up for endangered animals and abused house pets is great. But don't tell me the dear suffer during hunting, one shot and their dead. Maybe two, but the dear dies quite fast. Better then getting your neck and body shredded by a pack of wolves wouldn't you agree. Without hunting, deer would become over populated, even though natural predators kill them, the dear population is 1,113,000, in Minnesota. Hunters kill 211,777 a year, which i second to the weather. That is right, the weather kills more deer then hunters. Does that mean we need protest the weather. Quick PETA get them, let us fire all weather men and women, no even better, let's Sue god. After all he controls the weather, right? Well that's a different subject.

Point is if hunters didn't hunt there would be 211,777 extra deer each year. Let all them breed and let's see how many deer we have in 10 years. So I'll say it again, unless your going to complain to the skies also, Don't bother the hunters, it's completely legal and safe( unless your stupid) and where not making deer extinct. So one last time, I'M NOT SHOOTING BAMBI!!.
