Cooper... I'll bite. What is the purpose of killing wild animals? Food? Prove that one. Other than someone trying to prove themselves, I see no reasons for anything.

As a female hunter, I do not have a problem with hunting. I DO, however have a problem putting white trash idiots in the White House.

Atheists, mormons and homosexuals (AMH) are always looking for opportunities to attack christians in any way possible, so the account; to be fair should include any connection with the AMH element and the account.

Palin has the identical narcissistic personality profile as Blagojevich. Ambitiotious to the point of sociopathy.

@cooper: You're a moron. A natural wolf/deer balance will happen naturally, you twit. If you don't know how long Obama was in the Senate, you shouldn't be commenting on his experience. As for military experience? Like Bush? Worthless. McCain? McCain was a poor pilot and has, essentially zero military experience. My left testicle has more military and combat experience than Bush, McCain, Palin, Cheney and ALL of Bush's administration. In short, piss off.

Oh Cooper. You'd best not imply Bush knows how to lead - unless you mean "down the garden path", or into the pit of hell. Killing thousands of people, stealing and ruining countries does not constitute leading, no matter what your propoganda channels have been telling you (CNN, Fox).

At 1:41 PM, 2008-11-06, Cooper said:
for all you dumb sob's who don't know what the meaning of conservation is so shut it. you have to regulate the amount of wolves and deer population, or there will an unbalance. another thing is that obama can't even lead a country. he was in the senate for less than a year? has no military experience. wow there are some dumb people out there. silly democrats, voting is not for you.

i don't think she is a good role model for women and kids because she is killing and if kids hear these in the media then, they might want to be just like her.

you are delusional if you think either one of these puppets is the answer to all the questions. obama sucks, mccain sucks. what is the point of voting anyway? with the electoral voting system your vote doesnt even count. our system may be better than some it is far from perfect.

why don't you people shut your faces about how jesus the christ obama is so great. his associations for the past 20 years have all been with terrorist and people who hate the u.s. i got news for you who think he won't raise your taxes, you better smell the coffee because he can not do all the promises he has made without screwing the middle class and raise the taxes. if you want a socialist and spit on the grave of our soldiers who have given their lives so that people like obama do not kill our nation you go ahead and vote for this idiot, but when down the road he puts the shaft up your rear and the economy has really gone down the tube remember that you were the ones who put him there.

go sarah !!! i think this woman is a great role model for women who want to "have it all" she's got my vote..my hunting,fishing, hard working family is voting for her too!!!

yeah she'll also kill the economy, not to mention innocent wolves and deer..(and little girls!)

wow, my first comment on this was to point out that some of the pic.s of palin were while she was comercial fishing. i seemed to have been sucked into this wacko debate my own self. this was suppose to be comments on hunting and fishing pics. from feild & stream. i appologise for my comments on what you all belive and the old testoment. comments on this are getting mean and vulgar! (mcmillian968) we all need to remember what america is supposed to stand for. freedom to live our lifes and make our own choose's. obay the laws of our country and work to change the laws that seem unfair. go vote your chose on the 4th and lets see some more hunting and fishing stories and pictures. that is what this magazine has always been about.

i think she is just grrreeeaaat, taking and teaching her kids about nature and survival of the fittest. she is a down home woman who has her head out in the fresh air. i think she is a realist and will make a great vice-president. after all she is the governor of our last frontier.......

hi big - o did you even read the article that you are refering me to? because . . . the wolves did not get that bull elk. i suggest you read the article to make sure it supports your position before making yourself look foolish. also, i understand that it is painful to loose a family pet. growing up two of our family pets were killed from cars (neighborhood kids let our dog of the lead, and the other was our cat who escaped outside). it's unfortunate, but a fact of life. we weren't going to petition to get 'less traffic' in our area. you have a choice. keep your pets inside, within fences, or move. i still do not support areial hunting of wolves. it's not hunting, it's massacreing.

At 7:02 PM, 2008-10-26, Big O said:
to jill, please see the field & stream article "elk vs wolf pack" that bull was not sick or wounded until they got to him, and maybe you would feel different if they(wolves)killed and ate your family pets, oh, was'nt biden in an nra ad with others of his and osamas ilk that said this is the true axis of evil !!!!!!!

thank you, jack, for your 10/22 response and also for yours, not wearing lipstick, for your 9/30 posting. thank goodness our wonderful country still has some intelligent people who will make the wise choice on nov. 4. our economy is so messed up, yet palin can get $150,000 worth of clothing! imagine how many working poor that could have fed!

my preacher says that the earth is only about 6200 years old so there is no way that humans have been hunting deer for 10,000 years. i dont care what archaeologists, historians, scientists and professors say, my preacher wouldnt lie to me, that is why i believe everything he says. praise god!

humans have been hunting deer for over 10,000 years, why stop now?

At 12:15 PM, 2008-10-25, anonymous said:
robin, killing isnt a sport, hunting is a sport, not all hunts end in a kill, that is why it is called hunting and not killing. (fishing and catching are also completely different!) lots of people dont consider it killing and instead refer to it as harvesting. humans have been harvesting deer for thousands years and there are more deer now then there were back then. in the old days you hunted or you starved to death, it wasnt wrong to hunt then and it isnt wrong to hunt now. there is soooooooo much more to hunting than just killing. actually, most of the fun happens before the kill, once you kill something the fun is over and the real work begins.

At 11:17 AM, 2008-10-25, anonymous said:
robin....hunting is a sporting activity that people particapate in to enjoy the outdoors, just like fishing. hunters eat the game they take, yes it is killing, and everything dies on this planet, that is the law of nature, kill or be killed. just like the food you get from the store, you didn't kill it, but you paid someone to raise it and kill it for you. it also is population control like you said, humans are preditors no matter how you cut it. so you can have people killing deer, eating them or donating the meet to a food bank, or you can have car deer accidents and ruin that new car you just baught. that, or you can a coyote kill your pet cat or dog, the choice is yours. no matter what, you either pulled the trigger or you paid someone to do it, or else you wouldn't be alive still...........!

and to the person who is quoting from the old testament: do you really want to follow what the old testament says to the letter? if you do then i guess i should have been stoned to death a long time ago for having premartial sex. oh and any child who doesn't listen to his/her parents should be stoned to death also.

could someone please look at what i previously posted and answer my questions? i really do want to have some opinions from hunters as well as non-hunters. thanks!

i will not be renewing my subscription to field & stream this next year! i do not support mccain/palin in any way and obviously f&s does. it's too bad it had to end this way. loooks like i will need to find a new fishing/hunting magazine in the near future. i hope mccain has a heart attack and i hope palin gets hpv!

good lord people, relax and don't try to read so much into things. this is a "good 'ol gal" from one of our planets outdoor paradise's - alaska. she is doing what she can with the opportunity that she's been presented. is she qualified for the nomination she accepted? who knows, i doubt anyone who has posted acomment here has had an opportunity to speak to her. within this forum, let's focus on what really counts - great days afield and misty mornings on the water.

what the hell is up with this crap. this is a hunting, fishing, and outdoor site. stop talking about god. and face it, everybody makes bad shots every now and then maybe it was quartering away, therefore you aim back and focus on the exit wound.i hunt and fish alot and own many guns that i would like to keep. i may only be 16 but as i see it, mccain and palin are the best candidates. plus, im sure palin could kick biden's a@#. i do find the coments on cheney funny though.mccain*palin '08

i sure hate it when the atheists come to my house on a saturday morning and try to convert me, oh wait that has never happened, i guess it was just the christians, mormons and jehovas witnesses. but you guys arent trying to push your religion down my throat or anything like that. you are correct, you can believe in whatever you want, no matter how stupid, ignorant and fake it is. we will never get out of this mess as long as you christians keep popping out babies by the truckload and filling their heads with the same nonsense your parents filled your head with.

hey bible scholar...i work in the ministry and dont like being told that because i dont think their are unicorns it is because of unbelief. and all you other folks out there need to take a chill pill. every one has the right to believe what they want. i choose christ..some of you choose flowers..some choose noone...and that is everyones right in this country to do so. i do not put down others for what they believe so dont put me down. i thought this sight about the great outdoors but i suppose it has become nothing more than another political sight. sad day when i even loose this...

blah blah blah.......anybody who is writing about god and crap on here is an idiot. first there is no such thing as god, just like santa claus and the easter bunny, so pull your heads outa where the sun don't shine and start using your brain, all be it how ever small it is. oh, and palin is not even close to being qualified to be president, that would be like having your wife just all of a sudden go from here day job to being thrown into an international stage and saying, yeah i can do it. your wife is more than likely great, attractive and believes what you believe, and does an ok job at her day job, she may even hunt...that doesn't qualify her to be vp or presindent. pull your heads outa your asses you bible thumping freaks. you all live in fear and that is why bush, the moron won and ruined our country, because he used fear to group you up like sheep being hearded by wolves, robbing you blind while they were doing it. oh, and get outa your pipe dream about making 250k a year, almost non of you do, and the same with businesses, that plumber doesn't take home 250k in profit a year, maybe 100k...........you all get a tax cut morons.

christianity is just one of thousands or religions that have popped up over time on this planet. humans have been around for over 200,000 years and christianity has been around for 2000 years. during that 200,000 years stupid humans have worshiped every shiny, invisible, burning or unexplainable thing they could think of. no amount of fact or logic will ever convince anyone that their particular religion is wrong but the fact is that a regular human has invented every single one of them. humans have been claiming to be "god" or related to "god" since the beginning of time, and as long as it has been happening other ignorant humans have been worshiping that person. there is no reason to be that ignorant in this day and age, yet for some reason people with all the facts available to them just want to ignore all rationale and cling to some stone age myths. you dont need to pray to some non existent god to live a good life. once you realize that you can quit being repressed by religion and really start living life. take control of you own life, take responsibilities for your own actions, quit pretending like everything happens because it is gods will and start making things happen.

the word �unicorn� appears in the king james version nine times: numbers 23:22; 24:8; deuteronomy 33:17; job 39:9,10; psalms 22:21; 29:6; 92:10; and isaiah 34:7). there are many christians out there that would raise doubts about this animal even though every word in the book of job came out of the mouth of god: most of the christians wave the magic wand and transform the unicorn into a wild ox. this, of course, is done through unbelief. they don�t believe that there is such an animal as a unicorn. most, if not all, of the new versions think that �the unicorn� is a mistranslation and should be translated as �the wild ox.� there are some problems with making the unicorn a wild ox: 1. the word unicorn means one-horned. that squares with psalm 92:10 �but my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: i shall be anointed with fresh oil.� wild oxen have 2 horns. the psalmist is likening his one horn to the one horn of the unicorn. 2.in addition, that horn is said to be exalted in psalm 92:10. to me that indicates a straight horn that points up and not a couple of curved horns.

this is were i disagree with some of my fellow christians. what you refer to as being pushed down your throat is religion. there is a differance. i never push my belief on anyone. i dont pick certain parts of the bible i simply use the whole thing. i am sorry that you will never know the joy of having something to look forward to when you get old and die but that is your choice and i can not and will not push my beliefs on you. but dont push your non-beliefs on me. if my daughter wants to pray before a game on friday night then that is her right and if the guy next to her does not want to then he can look at the crowd or fill water bottles or something. each of us has the right to believe what we want to. it goes both way my friend/

At 4:36 PM, 2008-10-23, unicorn hunter said:
im not asking you to quit believing in what you believe in, im asking you to open your eyes and get out of the stone age. as a civilization we have come a long way in the past 2000 years. why do you insist on picking and choosing what parts to follow and what the bible means? so much of it is completely wrong and outdated but you guys keep clinging to a few choice scriptures and pretending like it is the word of some god. it is a work of fiction written by ancient humans. you are probably a christian because your parents were christians and there parents were christians, your parents wouldnt lie to you unless it was about santa clause and the easter bunny, it is 2008 and we have learned a lot since then, wake up. and yes, you christians do push it down our throats. in god we trust, under god indivisible, god bless america, etc etc. i cant go a day in my life without hearing from christians about something, i havent ever heard from the atheists, i guess they are too busy just living life and going about their own business. start at the bottom of all the comments and count the god and christian references, there are way more of them and they come a lot sooner than anything atheist. maybe the atheists are just tired of having it pushed down their throats. there is no such thing as hell so i dont have to worry about it, you are delusional if you really truly believe in such a farce.

At 3:14 PM, 2008-10-23, someone said:
randy..are you reading the comic book bible or what. the referance in job and in isaiah are about oxen. the referance in phalms is about strength. study my friend. also no one sacrificed children to god only to the pagen gods and christ loves everyone, even folks who happen to be gay. once again study before you speak..hate the sin love the sinner

to the unicorn killer-why does it bother you that someone is a christian. i deal with guys like you everyday, trying to convince me not to believe what i believe. i dont bother you with what i do, so dont put what i do down. enjoy the fires of hell. to ron paul i will give up guns, but what will i do without them. when a guy with a big knife comes into my house at night to kidnap my kids,i suppose i will say ok go ahead cause i dont have anyway to stop you big man. or when a skunk is attacking my daughters kitten in the yard, i suppose i will get a garden hoe, no waite i could hurt someone with the hoe, maybe i will just ask the nice skunk to leave my yard and hope i dont get sued by peta for hurting its feelings. it is amazing to me that we are still a free country with folks like you around. say hi to the nice man who comes to rob you house someday.

actually, you wouldnt be wasting your time hunting unicorns, they are mentioned in the bible quite a few times so they must be real. job 39:9-12, psalm 92:10, isaiah 34:7. if it is in the bible it must be real! so there really are unicorns and we must hate homosexuals, own slaves and sacrifice our children so that god will like us.

it is funny how many people state that they are christians like it is ok.when are you going to realize that you are in a cult? you are worshiping a pretend god and all religion is the biggest hoax of all times. if i said i was out hunting unicorns or fishing for mermaids you would laugh at me and tell me i was stupid and wasting my time, then you will go to church and pray to your non-existent god. what a double standard. you can live a perfectly good life without worshiping a pretend god, you should try it.

to "congo kurt': i'm no tree-hugging hippie, friend. i'm actually a forester that makes a living helping trees in their vertical position realize their horizontal potential (get it?). i also claim no party affiliation because i believe the party system leads to the degradation of the flow of ideas in politics and legallities. just because i don't believe in the nra and their attempts to get fearful americans to cling to their guns doesn't mean i'm not an ardent, patriotic outdoorsman. it means i buy into their false claims of being a conservation group with a voice in washington. big money in washington doesn't mean a voice for the avearge joe hunter. please, find me something that the nra is doing for real, on-ground management and sportsmen access to hunting and fishing instead of protecting an already concrete amendment. ask the canadians how terrible socialism is, and how it's affected their hunting. i'm sure they won't tell you that it's as terrible as high crime and murder here in the states. p.s. why are you so scared of a little socialism? aren't you sick of seeing american jobs shipped overseas by huge corporate dictators that make 400 times more money (per hour) than the honest johns working on the lines in their plants? socialism, if designed to fit america, could be a pretty decent thing. look at the nfl, for instance. salary caps, unionized labor, owner's held in check by a governing body concerned with everyone. it must work. cripes, look at the green bay packers; smallest american market for a professional sports team and they're publicly owned! and still they seem to continue to be one of the most storied franchises in all of pro sports. don't be scared. don't vote on fear. educate yourself and vote on the issues.

if o'bama becomes president, he will turn our country over to the un. and i would like to know why people think just because a white person doesn't want to vote for a black that they are racist. if that is the case, then all the black people who don't vote for mccain are racist also. also, less than 10% of all the things the politicans say there going to do once elected, actually happens.

ok folks settle down. i work for a church in texas. i fish, and when i have time i hunt; with other staff members. most of our great leaders were outdoorsman (t. roosevelt/w. harding/a. lincoln/etc.)there is nothing wrong with hunting and fishing and being a leader and a believer. hunting is not cruel, watching animanls starve because there are to many of them is cruel, fishing in not cruel; fishing helps folks to relax and get back to nature, even in the cities. some of you take life way to seriously, go for walk and eat some fruit. there concern about gov. palin hunting is not a concern at all, focus on the issues at hand. her party has my vote, not because the hunts but because i simply support their views about the issues today.

in re-reading some of the blogs i want to comment on a couple of other things. good leaders don't need to be the one that makes all the decisions. dictators do that. good leaders surround themselves with excellent advisors and then listen to them. also good leaders should encourage private ownership of weapons. a private citizen will fight to the death to protect his property and the country they live in. insecure or dominating leaders disarm the populace to they can do whatever they want and the citizens can't fight back. the forefathers of this great nation knew that and wrote that protection in the original documents. hitler and many other reranged dictators disarmed the people and you see where that got them. i think sarah palin could be a fresh new breath of air in the same old politics in washington. and she hunts! i hunt and i'm a christian and have been several pastors that i have hunted with over the years. why not hunt and pass along your harvests to those in need around your community? wouldn't that make more sense than having the government sticking their hand in your pocket via taxes and giving to someone that has been raised on welfare or an illegal immigrant? i could do without mccain but i like sarah! and i have no use for obama.

At 10:56 PM, 2008-10-22, Joe in PA said:
if you don't know what you are talking about then keep quiet. the bible states thou shall not "murder". it has been re-written to make is more easily understood by the unintelligent to read "kill". murder refers to people killing other people, not animals. it's no wonder why america is in the shape it's in with the un-informed people that are speaking their views. i'll ask nicely, stay off sites such as f&s and set up your own websites if you must share your misguided views to those of your own kind.

dee! read the old testament and the rituals prescribed by god! if all you do is the new testament, take a look at how much trouble christ had trying to change the attitudes of self-righteous pharisees who put their efforts toward trying to control others with religious guilt. it's about love and how you treat others, bottom line. have you hugged a sinner today?

well you can talk about how bad hunting is and how you're too good of a person to kill an innocent animal and having sunshine shootin (or should i say "pumping")out of your butt, yet i dont believe christ would appreciate the language you use in your "super duper...american" comment. if you're gonna criticize someone else for their faults, check yourself first. anyways, i think its awesome we can have a female who hunts in the white house. i look up to a woman who can fight a fish and take down 600lb animal!

'christian hunter' makes no sense to me. i used to hunt until i really began to thoroughly study the life of christ, and accept him into my life. i was so inspired by his gentile love and compassion for all of god's creatures. although we do have dominion over the animals, and jesus did fish for food, i could never imagine him going around killing animals for fun, grinning evilly for the camera (provided he were alive in the camera days) as he sits holding one of god's beautiful creatures who's dying in extreme pain. christ was a shepherd, and preached stewardship. while i do believe hunting for fod, population control, and other valid reasons is acceptable and natural, i think "sport" hunting, that is, a sick high and thrill for causing harm on god's creatures, is very un-christ like. look at the picture of christ holding the lamb. what does that say to you? hunting may be a super duper hardcore badass hell yeah american type of game. but that doesn't mean it's a christian one. christianity before nationalism, always. i hope people will realize that just because something is an american or wordly tradition, does not mean it serves christ. people xause way too much harm in the name of christ, to humans and animals. so amazingly sad. reflect on jesus' supreme love and compassion for the earth- and emulate it. god bless all. (note: i do, however, support the 2nd amendment to the fullest extent, for our protection)

i have read all the comments so far, and..to all the liberal leftists out there, when the s### hits the fan and comrade hussein(er: obama) does what he says he won't do and does things you didn't expect, don't start screaming, as you will have created the frankenstein. bh obama is a socialist, hiding behind the democratic shield and will attempy to "change' life as we know it to fit his image of life which is 'what is yours, belongs to everybody'. bh obama came out of the chicago political system, need i say anymore!! he did effectively nothing as an illinois senator and so far has done nothing significant as a us senator, except vote 'present' we know mccain and palins background thanks to the liberal media excavations, but know virtually nothing about obama, except what he wants us to know. go sarah, john, nra, isra, fob, fall.

to qoate my late sister,"if you belive in the lord and follow his teachings,and he is not real you have lost nothing when you die. for his word has brought you comfort while you lived. but if you didnt belive and he is real you are forever lost." belive in what ever gives you comfort. obama and biden are both rabid gun control canidates. obama has voted to ban all handguns,ban most rifle ammunition and to prosecute people who use handguns for self-defense in their homes. biden claims to have wrote the original assault weapons ban. these two will do what ever it takes to disarm america, be it actually taking our guns or more likly by banning our ammo and raising taxs on guns/ammunition by 500% which obama already pledged support for in dec.1999. i have good friends who are dem. and we all hunt together. we have light hearted debates and have been friends for years. unfortinutly this will be a memory if these two are allowed to run the u.s.

this reminds me of the episode of south park where they had to chose between a douche bag and a turd sandwich for their school mascot. you would have to be very narrow minded to believe that either one of these guys is the answer to all of the problems that face us. guns and god might not actually be the most important things in the world. last time i went to town i didnt see a shortage of people so i dont think they are killing too many babies, it doesnt look like we have any chance of going extinct so whats the problem? do you really think we should force people to have kids that they dont want? "we wanted to kill you before you were born but the government wouldnt let us", sounds like a great home for a kid to grow up in. i agree with "reality check", do you really think that some primitive camel jockeys living in a mud hut in the middle of the desert 2000 years ago completely understood the origins of life? the bible is as factual as greek mythology, yet for some reason you guys cling to it and your guns for dear life. we are never going to advance as a civilization if you keep trying to live in the stone age. open your eyes!

to all the obama-voters that say,"he's not going to take away our guns.", that was what they said in england, canada and australia. it's all well and good if you don't mind getting rid of your favorite handgun,semi-auto, pump or lever and using a single shot or double. if he gets in and nominates 2 or 3 liberal judges to the supreme court, the second ammendment ruling could be overturned or at least modified. don't think it couldn't happen here.

personally, i think hssa/peta are a bigger threat to hunting/fishing. i really appreciate the role the us sportsmen's alliance is taking on. they are keeping track of anti-hunting/trapping/fishing efforts and are actively getting involved. if you haven't, yet, check them out and consider supporting them and getting involved. their trailblazer adventure program for kids is a great thing. we sponsor something similar in our ruffed grouse society chapter. as for the nra ... i support them, too. you may not agree with everything they do but they are gun owners' best voice in washington.

to ajax: "...after the coronation." is this england? are we crowning a king or are we inaugurating a president? looks like most republican-voters have trouble with the basic principles of democracy. also, why do you republicans feed off of the that fear that someone will take away our guns? the second ammendment is the most solid truth we have in america! jefferson wrote it because he believed "a little revolution every now and again is good!" so on the infamous day that barack obama knocks on your door to take your gun away, what will you republicans do? will you put your money where your mouth is and defend your right, or will you just hand over your guns because a black man that made you blush says so? stop playing your ignorance off as patriotism. do you fools not see that the nra wants you to fear something that will not and cannot happen just so you will vote for the party that they support? stop funneling your hard-earned dollars into a war machine that no longer participates in any activity for real, on-ground conservation. hunting and fishing are about conservation and positive natural resources management--something your idol nra forgot a long time ago when the gop bought them out. cripes, look what the money-grubbers did to jefferson, lincoln, and teddy roosevelt's gop. where does sustainable conservation and management fit into today's republican agenda? we're not seeing it on the ground, that's for sure because selling off national forest service lands to the highest bush-buddy-bidder is not providing more access to public hunting and fishing so that blue-collar john q. public can pass on a family tradition. so appearantly, today's republican conservation plan fits right between the pen and the ballot of a lot of fearful voters with convalent thoughts about reality. p.s. dear reagan-farmers, when is the last time the republican party helped you out? crp lands being taken out of the program when the price of corn skyrockets just to see the market fall out the bottom with lack of means for disposal of goods? doesn't sound like help to me. as a result of reaganomics, more of you lost your farms from the 1980's to today than in the great depression. wow, talk about voting on fear. republican or democrat, educate yourself so you can vote on the issues rather than on fear or lies. the party system draws too many divisions between people and the flow of ideas needed to prolong our existence as a country moving forward in the world. independently thinking in the wild u.p., jack

i'm a left-leaning, city-dwelling, obama-supporter. i love nature and have never touched a gun in my life. however, i'm willing to bet that the majority of people condemning hunting as 'cruel' have no problem eating the fish that have already been caught, or the cows that have already been slaughtered for them. unless you consume absolutely nothing, the manufacturing of just about product (yes, even vegetables) causes harm to some living thing, somewhere. so stop judging other people. you are dumb. stop eating and kill yourselves.

i know i am going to get flamed from both sides for this post, but here goes. i am both a city dwelling leftist and a subsistance hunter and fisher. i don't generally support sport hunting and was always taught to kill only what i intend to eat. mrs. palin, though in my opinion not ready to lead the nation, and with political views in stark contrast to my own definitely falls into the subsistance, not sport hunter category as her father has said they get 90% of their meat from hunting and fishing.

please someone explain to me how killing is a sport? and please explain to me how we create problems of over population of certain animals and then our answer is that we have to kill them off? please someone explain why we haven't learned that there is a natural order of things and that every time we mess with that order we screw our earth and everything living on it up a little more? you know if you had to shoot an animal to feed your family i wouldn't consider that a sport. and if your killing animals because you think it's fun, well i just will never understand that. how can people say on one hand killing is wrong and then support killing as a sport? i am just really confused.

it's unfair and unwise to use such powerful technology to hunt and fish. helicopters, suvs, sonar, night goggles and all the rest is so ruthlessly efficient that the animals don't stand a chance. we are lucky to have great migrations of caribou and salmon. it's a glorious abundance, and most of us want it to continue. we've only had all this great gear for 100 years, but every natural system is showing the effects of the pressure from too many people making too many kills.

first off, i want to give a shout-out to f&s for posting these photos, because they will go a long way to diffuse the hockey/soccer mom vote. cheers! btw, i am not peta, i support hunting, especially where deer have over populated, due to the lack of natural predators, like virginia, where i live. i also lived in alaska in the good old days, when hunters shot from the ground, and i have the caribou hide i tanned as a six-year old to prove it. virginia hunters provide a valuable food resource to the homeless, but they don't do it from helicopters. if you can afford to shoot from a helicopter in my opinion, you don't need the meat.

to john mccain, thank you for serving our great country for so long. you are a true american hero. to the f & s staff, consider setting up a password-protected message board to keep the the peta liberals away. to "mary mills", you never broke up anything. bucks breed a doe in the rut, tend for two days and break up. there is no such thing as a "fawn" in the fall either. if the best thing you can tell your dad on his deathbed was that he nearly killed you, get a life. to the rest of you liberals, i am personally against wolf hunting from the air. i think that wolves must be managed, but by a more ethical method than air shooting. hunting is not inhumane; abortion is. set up a peta message board so you can share your radical ideas without trashing this site. i as a hunter understand what it means to take a life. we do not hunt for "sport", and as i have grown older i have realized that we do not hunt for the kill. we hunt to connect ourselves with god's creation and bring us back to a more simple relationship between god, creation, and ourselves. god bless america, the troops, and mccain and palin.

some of you are comparing killing animals to killing human babies. it is written: "thou shalt not kill." not, "thou shalt not kill humans, but animals are ok." all of god's creatures deserve the same respect. pro-choice isn't murder if you choose against abortion. if you opt for abortion, that is your cross to bear. that caribou had a mother, too.

sarah palin is an incompetent fool. completely oblivious to real world issues. i hope she gets run down by a grizzly before she gets a chance to bring our country down even more than it already is.

i think some of these anti-hunting folks should comes spend a night in our woods. get a first hand look at a griz or hear wolves surrounding your camp in the middle of the night, howling to each other. or hunt all day in the rain and snow just to realize you're being tracked by a bear. hunting isn't easy, it's hard/dangerous work and a way of life that has been fading away since our hunter/gatherer ancestors development food prep factories. hat's off to those keeping it alive.
