Hunting advocates state that hunting can be a necessary component[1] of modern wildlife management, for example to help maintain a population of healthy animals within an environment's ecological carrying capacity when natural checks such as predators are absent.[2] In the United States, wildlife managers are frequently part of hunting regulatory and licensing bodies, where they help to set rules on the number, manner and conditions in which game may be hunted.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.blackplanet.com/Yuri_Mizyuk/" rel="nofollow">yuri Mizyuk</a>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936809360484516447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709807483074462769.post-5090413104340863432010-01-28T13:12:09.195-05:002010-01-28T13:12:09.195-05:00Thanks for the great comments.

We also have a significant coyote population.<br /><br />I eat the rabbits I shoot. I have never had the need to shoot a coyote, although I've had the oppotunity. I will shoot it if the need arises.<br /><br />We hunt deer, elk, rabbits, turkey, grouse, pheasant, and waterfowl. Both for the table and for the spiritual fulfillment that it brings to our lives. I especially liked the comments by person who posted about <br />Jose Ortega y Gassett<br /><br />We try to eat as little factory raised, shrink wrapped, store bought meat as possible. What we don't raise or hunt ourselves, we buy from local farmers in bulk.

They are all different and they fly in different ways but the sensation is the same and the last one is as good as the first". So that's why it's don't matter whether you shot a single bird or a bunch or bird, I think murder is murder either it's animal or a bird. <a href="http://IslandPlantation.com" rel="nofollow">south carolina hunting lodge</a>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13321033084832984607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709807483074462769.post-10841452979331240132009-09-21T01:32:20.554-04:002009-09-21T01:32:20.554-04:00Hunting is in our DNA.

DNAs function is to form proteins from amino acids using RNA in the cytoplasm of each cell. There are 20 amino acids including 9 that are essential, that is, we cannot make them and must eat them. All 20 amino acids must be in sufficient quantity in each cell to allow each cell to make proteins, often times specific for that group of cells. <br /><br />Some people are protein malnourished, not having eaten enough protein, particularly the essential amino acids. Kala Azar and Kwashiorkor, associated with a maize diet, low in lysine an essential amino acid. These are two severe examples of protein malnutrition.<br /><br />Meat and animal products, eggs and milk contain all the amino acids in sufficient quantity such that 70 grams of protein daily is enough. Those 70 grams of protein is contained in about 1/2 pound of lean meat. Beans, legumes, and nuts also provide protein.<br /><br />Jose Ortega y Gassett, Spanish philosopher said, "I am myself plus my circumstance." Self is our DNA and circumstance, as regards eating is our ingesting sufficient quantities of protein to allow our cells to repair themselves and make enzymes, proteins. <br /><br />Gassett argued, and I agree, that, "I do not hunt in order to kill, but kill in order to have hunted."<br /><br />Robert Burgess, M.D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709807483074462769.post-60737912688327037492009-08-03T07:52:34.658-04:002009-08-03T07:52:34.658-04:00Thank you all for your comments.

I don't just like hunting to kill but to bring home meat for the table. Like you said, if there was no hunting there would be more pain for animals. <br />~Bethany~Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943221387935514859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709807483074462769.post-34706437449399742302009-07-31T17:47:32.871-04:002009-07-31T17:47:32.871-04:00FG I stand firm in my beliefs about hunting.

Sometimes it was for an extra something in the freezer, and other times it was out of pure necessity.<br /> People who don't understand hunting, or have never HAD to hunt, have no clue what it's about. All they see are Bambi and Thumper frolicing through the forest, and not the animals that eat the garden we work so hard for, OR as a food source. For some reason which I can never understand, it's ok to kill and butcher a cow,a pig, or a chicken, but wild animals make these people cry like infants.<br /><br /> Perfect point to this? One time while arguing with my ex-wife about hunting, I made it a point to tell her that at one time, cows roamed the earth just as deer, so what was the difference? Her answer? Now this was from a college educated resperitory therapist........."nu-uh". Yep FG old pal, "nu-uh". Kinda shows the logic of these folks, doesn't it?<br /><br /> Would it be different and we went to the store and bought deer, boar, and pheasant while cows, pigs, and chickens filled the woods? <br /><br />I have plenty more to say on this, and actually may be inspired to make a post about this myself....Chris Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316348514638693721noreply@blogger.com
