What's the difference between killing dogs and deer hunting? We all have heard about Micheal Vick, and pleaing guilty to dogfighting charges. My question is if killing dogs is inhumane then why are laws not the same for deer hunting? I have seen in houses people hanging the heads of deers that they have killed. Is that not inhumane, or is killing deers perfectly fine, but killing dogs is inhumane and illegal?
What I wanna know is; Whats the difference between people hunting deer out there and Michael Vick's dog fights Why is it okay to hunt the poor innocent deer and other animals and eat them for dinner but there is such a big deal about this dog fighting. Why is deer hunting looked at as a sport but dog fighting is a crime punishable with prison time? Is it possible that because the majority of hunters are caucasion and the people who have dog fights are minorities. They have trophies for animal hunters and some people even hand the deer heads in their living rooms. I think both are wrong and if Michael Vick has to do jail time for gog fighting, hunters should also do jail time because both are cruelty to animals.
How can I get my wife to tolerate my deer hunting? She knew I was an avid hunter before we got married, and she has knowingly eaten and even cooked deer meat. For some reason, now, my hunting is a problem. I've tried all the logical arguments, but she still gets upset when I go hunting...Help!

Just want to know the difference, so please don't get offended and start calling childish names. we know what they do when dogs are killed. but what are deer used for (with)? thank you for your knowledge and understanding Excellent answers guys! I was scared I was going to be bashed by the Animal police. really learned something today, thanks!!!

Why are so many people comparing dog fighting to deer hunting? Alot of Micheal Vick supporters are out there saying dog fighting is no worse then hunting. I think thats just a ridiculous comparison. Deer hunters are not out to torture animals. Most of them want there shots to kill as quickly as possible so the animal doesn't needlessly suffer. They aren't killing just for the sake of killing, they make use of the meat and sometimes other parts of the animal. Dog fighting on the other hand is brutality for the sake of brutality. Jenn-No decent person enjoys watching dogs maul each other for sport.. Spurs- you truly speak like someone who only thinks they know what they are talking about. j_millz24-Unless you're a vegetarian an animal is going to die for you to eat, so theres no difference in killing an animal yourself and buying a steak at the grocery store or resturaunt. Boxing and MMA are brutal, and I'm not a fan of either, however the competitors choose to fight unlike dogs. And I don't think anyone here would condone pigs/dog fights, but that still isn't comparable to hunting.

What is so interesting about deer hunting? I don't get what the big thrill of dressing up in camo, putting on bottled deer urine, climbing into a tree stand and shooting the deer with a high-powered rifle with a scope is all about. It's not real hunting....any real man would hunt a deer with his bare hands and if he could kill it....then he'd be a real hunter. Rifles are for pussies. Even using a knife or spear...that'd be better. At least you'd learn the actual "hunting" skill that would be required if you were ever in need. I mean, after all...if you get lost somewhere how many high powered rifles with 300 yard scopes will be laying around? Be men goddamnit....strangle the deer and then eat it's bleeding heart. Yikes, I always thought deer meat was really dry. I don't mind the jerky though. And yes I have shot a deer before, and I thought it was really lame. I was there with my cousin in our tree stand and it just walked right out and I shot it. It was far, but with the scope I hit it right in the neck. The meat tasted like crap and gutting and skinning it was far too much hassle. If I were to hunt for meat again, it'd be at the grocery store with the rest of the people that have common sense. But to you folks that think you're preserving some "hunting tradition".......good luck to you and your deer (that odds are you've been baiting and luring for months now). Maybe he'll just fall over for you!

Which rifle is best for deer hunting in Texas? My husband wants to go deer hunting when the season begins. This would be his first time hunting. We don't know what rifle to get. Is 30-30 a good choice? Or any other rifles that would be best for deer hunting?

What is the difference between horse racing, dog racing, deer hunting and ....Micheal Vick's case? Ok...I have anaylized Mike Vick's case and other animal sporting events. Government sanctioned animal sports have been in place for decades and the animal rights people have had been quiet until now. First horse racing. These animals are injected with steriods and overburdened to win races. There is money bet on their outcome. If they seriously break a leg, then they are put to sleep. Next is dog racing...Greyhounds...Big money is wagered on their outcome. These animals are bred for racing. They are injected with dangerous steriods. If they lose their competitive edge or get injured, then they are thrown to a shitty kennel and are forgotten. Some are even put to sleep. Finally....Deer Hunting...This sport pisses me off. How can some Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia or West Virginia red neck go and blow defenseless bambi's brains out and get to hang the head on the wall? They seldom eat the animal. Where are the animal rights activists for this?

How old should a person be before they start hunting deer? I'm having huge arguments with my in-laws about this topic. I was 6 years-old when my father bought me a cross-bow, but I didn't get my first deer until I was 8. They think I'm full of it and told me that it's way too young to be shooting a firearm. Where I came from (Ohio), most kids were out hunting with their fathers/brothers.

1994 Crown Vic or 1993 Caprice which is better for deer hunting? I'm going to paint it camouflage or bright orange, so the deer don't see me coming. I need a full size car that doesn't cost much, can take the hit, easy to repair and tenderizes the meat. Its too difficult to hunt them with guns, but much easier with cars.

What do I need to start hunting deer? A buddy and I have been shooting rifles for years but have never really gone hunting. We both have well-maintained 30-06's but don't have much else for equipment. What equipment do you recommend to get started hunting deer? (We live in East TX btw).

How much do you pay for a deer hunting license? In Wisconsin it is $25 for residents and $160 for non residents. Personally, I think it should be free. The DNR does now OWN the deer. And if they did, I would sue them every time one hits my car.

Is dogfighting really so different from bullfighting or deer hunting? Do you think that it's illegal because it's a "black" sport? In all honesty, I really don't see much difference between hunting and dog fighting. I know all of the arguments. I know that animal cruelty laws help to identify psychopaths before they start carving up humans. I know that dogfighting can involve drugs and gambling (but come on, what sport doesn't involve gambling)? Let's look at ourselves honestly. Isn't dog fighting illegal because its principally a black enterprise? You people are making too many rationalizations for the hunters. If dogfighting is illegal, deer hunting should be illegal too. I hate guns. I would never go hunting. I might go to a dog fight, though. I've seen bull fights on TV (when I lived in Madrid). I'm not all caught up in the whole animals rights thing. I'm not making excuses for Michael Vick, either. Yeah, he broke the law, and he deserves to be punished. The law is the law, and everyone has to obey it whether we like it or not. I'm trying to ask a different sort of question here. I'm just saying, mightn't the law be a tad racist or even classist (kudos to the guy who mentioned cock fighting) in this regard? Have you ever heard of two humans who fight to the death (at times) for money? It's called boxing and you can watch it on pay-per-view. You can also gamble on the fight's outcome. Man, did I underestimate the ability of hunters to practice self-delusion or what? Just so everyone knows where I'm coming from, I'm white. I do not support animal rights. I do not attend dog fights. I do not watch bullfighting. I do not see their appeal, nor am I horrified by them. I do not hunt. However, I find hunters to be much more sick and psychotic than people who get off on bullfights or dogfights. Just admit to yourselves that you enjoy killing and move on. What's the big deal? Why be ashamed of who you are? It's the law that's hypocritical. Either BOTH deer hunting and dogfightling are OK or NEITHER should be OK, but it can't be one or the other. FYI - I'm not afraid of dog fighters coming after me with a cattle prod, but for damn sure I'm afraid of guns...

Is carrying survival gear for deer hunting silly? I am a city slicker. Consequently, I don't hunt without a GPS, compass, map, food, down bag, and a light bivaoc shelter. This amounts to a good sized 45 pound day pack. My hunting buddies are rather annoyed by this, and point out we are never more than a couple hours walk from the car. I am terrified of stepping off the road unprepared. Are my fears unfounded?

What caliber rifle would you buy your wife for deer hunting? She is concerned about to much recoil. I have been told that a 25'06 would be a good caliber as far as recoil is concerned. My only concern is that she will have to make a perfect shot every time in order to have a clean kill. I'm thinking a 270, but would that be to much recoil?

A Study Says that Deer Hunting Stresses a Man's Heart too Much. Is This a Liberal "Farce"? The study says that walking in rough terrain and dragging a heavy deer can strain a man's heart. Should men quit cutting the lawn and shoveling snow too? Is this a study funded by liberal environmentalists to get rid of hunting? Or do they truly care about men --- the stress their hearts go through when mowing the law and shoveling snow? The study even said that many of the men smoke too much and are obese. The cause of the men being "at risk" of a heart attack while hunting isn't the hunting. It's their lifestyle during the other 51 weeks of the year. If these men quit hunting, would libs focus on improving the men's terrible health? Or would the Libs just be happy to have "saved a deer" even though many of the men will die of a heart attack one day anyway? Will the majority of wives now start mowing the lawn to save their husbands? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070817/hl_nm/deer_risk_dc The one thing left out by the study is how a week at deer camp is often the most wonderful, friendship building times in a man's life. It's a vacation to relieve a year's worth of mental stress. That can be priceless and wonderful for a man. Would this study prefer that men have few friends, no fun, and keep being stressed-out? This certainly seems like a rigged study. Why? How did the researchers end up with such a high number of men who are very at risk for a heart attack --- overweight, smokers, etc.? Great studies typically use random samples. How about if we promote this kind of study: Find a bunch of obese, heavy smokers, bacon-loving, McDonalds consuming men and women. Then we study whether or not it's good for them to even walk from their car to their desk at work, clean their house, take a walk with their kids, etc. Surely with a biased sample of out-of-shape adults, we can prove that almost any movement is dangerous for them. The doctor behind the study seems to say she's surprised that the men who had already been diagnosed with very serious heart conditions and were at risk of heart attack were at risk when they hunted, which is a form of exercise. Anyone else surprised?

Would an 8mm Mauser rifle be adequate for deer hunting this fall? I was invited to go hunting this fall by a friend up where he lives. I was out of hunting for a few years because where I live now isn't so hot for it. Most of my guns are back home before I moved out of the house. All I have on me now is an open-site WWII Mauser and a Ruger .22. It's been very dependable and accurate for plink-shooting, but it may be all I will have to take with me.

Do vegetarians go deer hunting? For those vegetarians that participate in deer hunting in the fall/winter - when you shoot the deer, do you just leave the dead animal in the woods since you won't be eating it? Or do you go through the effort of field dressing the deer and donate the meat to the local food pantry? I am sure that not many vegetarians DO go hunting - but I did meet one in a tavern last fall at the traditional Opening Day breakfast. I didn't see him again - so I never had the opportunity to ask him this question.

What is the best climbing sticks to use for Deer Hunting? This will be the first year I am deer (bow) hunting. The group I go w/ just uses 3 inch pegs (portable) that snap on nails that are in the tree to climb up the tree. It seems pretty unsafe and I would like something that is more safe, light and user friendly. The tree stands are @ 15 ft up. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. I also forgot to mention that the group I hunt w/ have about 15 different trees they hunt out of so bringing the climbing sticks in and out of the woods can be a good distance. *** BELLA: Just for you ... I'm going to aim for the deers face!
