WOW! I wouldn't be on the bridge....

Take a Salmon from a puddle for eating. Cool deal. Looks like a great time for arrowhead hunting when things get calmed down...

Innocent bambi?? Sounds like a PETA ploy to me.....

Mabee beacuse snagging is illegal for starters...

Killing innocent little bambi with a high power rifle "IS" legal......

ORIGINAL: dimebrite

of course snagging is illegal, and of course shooting an animal with a high powered rifle is legal. i was just posting to see what people would say. in my opinion i think it's an interesting comparison. whether legal or not, put the law to the side; which do you think is worse? this is the way that i should've worded it. i'm nopt a snagger but this concept just came to mind and i wanted to see what everyone thought. and for the PETA ploy, far from it dude. just a sarcastic phrase i typed.

Don't even want to respond to a non-thought process that would compare ethical hunting, to un-ethical snagging. I'll bite the bullet and laugh this one off..

BTW.. killed my quota of 6 cottontails today

i'm glad i got a little response from you tuna... sometimes i see things different than others. just think of this... foul hooking a salmon; catching that salmon and then releasing it... now imagine aiming a rifle and pulling the trigger to kill an animal. to end a life... if there were an almighty judge of true ethics;leaving law and legalities aside; which do you think is better??? do you really think that my question or comparison is thoughtless tuna??? i think it's a pretty deep thought IMO... let's throw this one out there now; take the native americans for instance... they would spear net and hoard salmon all day long. it was actually common practice to kill the first early salmon that ran and not even eat them, but hang there heads and bodies on a pole for the fish gods to see which they believe brought them more fish. once the big runs came they would slaughter the fish... let me ask you this now; do you think the natives were unethical??? you can still think my words are thoughtless, but i don't. theres more depth to the subject than the words alone...

Dawn emailed me and said there were Salmons in the basement after the deluge. Don't know if it was a joke or not. Also said the river has really changed due to the flood. And why arre you picking on the native americans? They needed those fish to survive. duh.

not picking on them at all. just using them as a reference. i hold a high respect for the ancient lost culture...

Are we talking religious beliefs ?? Are we talking taking wild life for the sole purpose of survival ?
Or are we talking buying a sporting license ??
Big difference.. don't confuse them..


If any sportsman with ethics intends to kill wildlife as sport (we in this day & age do these things as sport right ? ) they should do so with the purpose of a use for that wildlife.. meaning consume or donate as much of the quarry as possible for consumption.. Not just a trophy on a wall. I have no brown trout hanging on my walls , only pictures..

An ethical sportsman does not just kill for the purpose of killing..
Be it catching a fish & playing to exhaustion and improper handling then feel all good about themselves as they release that fish .. only to die later..

Yes righ on, when that bullet or arrow hits it's mark the out come is usually the final end and I do so with the intent of consuming that animal.. We love wild game in my house
While I can legally shoot 6 rabbits a day, I don't..

Let me pose this question... If you fish a C&R area and mortally wound the fish would you still release it ?

My answer... No.. I'll take the fine if imposed in good conscience..

When fishing , how much plant life or aquatic insects are destroyed while trampled under foot.. Don't eat living animals ? Please .. PETA loves you.. Lets be real..

I can no longer laugh.. sorry..

P.S.
I'm a slow typer and already behind on the thread..
Slayer: It is harvest time ya know

i'm not confusing them tuna... rather i am maybe considering all and trying to hear what maybe someone elses conclusion or thoughts are on the subject....obviouly not going over well but it was worth a try. i am not a peta guy and i actually don't even know what it stands for, i've just heard it as a reference people use in here; don't even care to know what it stands for or what it's about... i've been an outdoorsmen for most of my life. got my first shot gun when i was 8 years old and the same one i will hand down to my son. i have chosen not to hunt long ago for personal reasons, but have recently had thoughts of trying to pluck the 12-13 pointers that frequent my property. so please don't be confused. i just have a way of looking at the actual reality of things and why certain things are acceptable while others aren't; such as why shooting an animal dead is fine while snagging a fish with a line and hook isn't... if you really think hard enough, i have a good point... i prefer to have my fish hit the fly i tied on the rod i built, or however else i make them strike...

anyways... harvest time sounds good to me...

Hey dime,thanks for leaving that firewood for me as it's getting a little cool tonight,I wish you would n't nail it together next time.

hey pa, that's some expensive firewood if you don't mind watching it for me. if you do need some wood to burn, feel free to grab a log or two next to the barn. they aren't nailed together...

"All knowledgeable hunters and or sportsmen know who PETA is...
If not you must reside in a cave...

Know thy enemy.......

if you're so anti peta you might as well start snagging... and by the way, you completely misread my post. i am almost justifying snagging with my points that i stated. such an anti peta person should be proud of me. while i'm at it you stated before that snagging was illegal and that's why it's wrong, am i correct? so now let me ask you, is that a legal limit of cotton tails there??? oops, don't contradict yourself now... i thought you were a law abiding citizen who followed the legalities of the sport...go ahead and keep responding and posting your ignorant comments. while you're at it, why dont' you start ripping treble hooks through the trestle pool...

Did you lift the rabbits?

you got my number retired.... bow would definitely be my weapon of choice

bing, i am going to conclude with this... you started by busting my stones on me just trying to see what peoples opinions are... my statements i've made aren't my opinions, they are objective points... second how can you justify yourself with legalities??? you don't snag because it's ilegal, but you then justify yourself for taking an illegal limit of rabbits... where does your justice come from??? you contradict yourself left and right. maybe you should've stopped shooting once you had your legal limit. in the laws eyes (which is what you are justifying yourself with) you are just as bad as a snagger. i bet the fine and penalty is even larger for shooting more game than the legal limit. you're probably not going to be able to read through my words here just as you misunderstood my original postings... let's give it a rest on this one...
