Posted: 3/5/2007 3:47:33 PM | It depends on the person - I grew up on a fishing lodge so I absolutely love it. I also used to hunt when I was younger with my dad and had no problem with it and still don't. I won't be the one to go out and kill whatever it is you're hunting, but have no problems helping deal with the animal once its dead....
people who give you their 2 cents on your 'morals' or 'ethics' are probably extremists | |

Posted: 3/8/2007 9:11:22 AM | | Nope...I come from a family who's freezer is full of wild game...I personally wouldn't go hunting/fishing/trapping but if that's what you're into then so be it, it's not like when you're in a relationship or just dating someone that you have to be joined at the hip...you do your thing, I'll do mine then we'll do our thing. | |

I don't even mind going along. Gives us something to do together anyway! I think it's kinda sexy to see a man stalking through the woods after an innocent creature with a large gun...lol  | |

Posted: 3/9/2007 11:15:46 PM | | I don't hunt or fish, but I dated a guy for years who was an avid hunter/fisher. He too came from a long line of hunters. (His dad made this venison jerky that was to die for!) He ate everything he got so that's probably why I didn't have as much of a problem with it. That, and he didn't expect me to go with him. :) | |

Posted: 3/11/2007 5:03:20 PM | | I had a boyfriend who was into hunting and fishing and I was jealous of the time he was spending on it. Everytime I see a guy with a picture of holding up a fish I wonder what he is thinking. A woman does NOT want to see this type of picture. I think a man thinks this portrays him as a macho man and this will attract a woman but it works as the opposite in my book.Actually the last fight I had with my x was over his obsession with hunting. He had gone out in the morning deer huntin from like 5:00 till 9:00 in the morning and then called to tell me he was going out again like around 5:00 in the evening for a while. That struck a bad cord with me as it was Saturday and that was the only time we would see each other all week so that meant he would not be up to see me until later in the evening. I felt it was taking his time away from me. Fishing and hunting is ok but not on MY TIME with my man. | |

Posted: 3/11/2007 6:48:12 PM | So the Native Americans had it all wrong. You didn't go from being a boy, and turning into a man, with going out and killing a Buffalo. I knew there was something wrong with reading those great stories.
So I guess many in this thread won't be doing the Salmon plate at the fine dining restaurant. The nerve of those Barbaric people, killing innocent Salmon, so you can pay for a high price fish dinner!
Good eating, but DAMNed be the man that brings dinner to the table!
I'm kidding. | |

Posted: 3/11/2007 7:36:09 PM | It is true hunting can take up a lot of time. I would say a hunter would be better off with a female who has her own hobbies, so she is not setting around watching Oprah and waiting on him to get home. Not a good match. But there are many women out there busy with there own stuff, they could care less if I am out freezing my a$$ off in the woods, LOL. That is my kind of girl, LOL. We can have our time when we both get home from our activities. Remember absence makes the heart grow fonder.
I would say a normal archery deer hunter will spend 3-8 hours a day, most days, in order to kill 1-3 deer in a 4-5 month season. Most big game hunters will hunt everyday they can get to the woods during season. But there is more, off season scouting, setting up blinds and tree stands, food plots, and making sure your weapons, clothing, and equipment are in order. There are places where the odds are better but in general this is the type sacrifice one has to put in to score. Trust me, a deer does not run up and jump in the truck like a green piece guy would have you believe, LOL. I would guess an average deer hunter puts in 200 hours of work per deer. Hard work, often if very brutal weather.
Hunting is not easy, it is hard. It is basically a second job for many country boys, LOL. But we don't' mind, it is a way of life. We don't do it to impress people, most do it for the solitude, the meat is a bonus.
And if you think deer are difficult wait to you try turkey.
Anyway, I think it boils down to this, people need to be compatible. I don't think a woman has to be pro hunting to date a hunter. That would be like saying she needs to be pro steel to date a steel worker, LOL. Hey you don't take your wife to work, why take her hunting, unless of course she is also a hunter. I certainly would not turn down a date with a nice lady because she did not hunt, LOL. But if I were dating someone that wanted to learn to hunt, I have to admit, I would find that quite attractive.
I just thought I would add this, I don't think very many people realize what real hunting is like.

Posted: 3/12/2007 9:29:34 AM | I hate to break this to you, but, to a lot of women, that would definitely be a dealbreaker. Some of us think it's fine, as long as you take care of your responsibilities around the house AND with us, emotionally and physically, but others just get plain ole pissed off when you want to go hunting and fishing. This is one of those issues you'd better get taken care of up front. Be honest with her about how much time you devote to these activities and how it's not going to change even if you have the best woman in the world. I can guarantee you, though, that she'll think that you'll not want to be in the woods/at the lake so much when she's yours. But you probably will! So make sure she understands how much time we're talking about.
And remember, we change our minds a lot. If it's okay today, it may not be okay tomorrow.

Posted: 3/12/2007 4:24:11 PM | to shurite....thank you for the enlightenment on the subject of hunting but I still think if you think sitting in your solitude of the tree in the morning in the woods waiting to kill a defenseless animal and watching the trauma of it death has nothing to do with peace and solitude.......it is killing.....and if you women think this makes your man a macho man because of this cowardly act you are as sick as they are.
Soon when the woods and animals are gone and all that is left is a concrete jungle are you still going to be sitting in the window of a building in the morning and shooting humans now who are walking by??? yea, that will really make a MAN out of you then! | |

Posted: 3/12/2007 4:27:45 PM | | oh for the love of god a person going out and hunting moose is not the same not even close as someone killing a human . that was a sick statement to make . we are omnivorious creatures . its natural to us as a species to eat both plant life and animal life . | |

Posted: 3/12/2007 7:09:20 PM | To me-- Yes it is sooooo unapealing-- but that is my opinion.
I am sure when you find the right person they will like it just as much as you do. Maybe you should try and hunt for a woman in the woods- Just make sure you don't kill her first!  | |

Posted: 3/12/2007 7:19:14 PM | I dont mind hunting or fishing for food...I dont think many men go hunting without having the pleasure of eating their game...I understand some people dont eat meat at all and that is fine...what I DONT understand is people crying and saying how cruel it is to hunt when they are having a big juicy steak for dinner tonight....
do you people eat it alive???? | |

Posted: 3/12/2007 7:24:33 PM | It's absolutely and wholeheartedly disguisting in my personal opinion. If I want to eat fish, deer or duck; I'll go to the store and buy it. I find it cruel to kill what you can go to the store and purchase. I will never, ever date anyone who likes to kill for his own pleasure.
Just because I don't like it, doesn't mean that other women won't. Keep fishing till you find her and don't be offended if someone doesn't like your hobby of killing helpless animals, everyone is entitled to their own opinions and preferences.
P.S. I suggest you watch the movie Pale, might give you some insight on the pain and terror you put these animals through. What goes around, comes around, and karma is a bad a** b****, either in this lifetime or the next, you'll see. | |

Posted: 3/12/2007 9:08:01 PM | | What I find unappealing is people who spend their energy commenting negatively on the choices and profiles of others. There are thousands of people on this site. Perhaps it would be in everyones best interest to reply to profiles that they find positive and interesting not ones that they find unappealing. Hmmmm. | |

Posted: 3/12/2007 9:32:30 PM | | if you are going to hold a belief then at least stand by that belief and dont abandon it when you feel it is convenient . this is a forum . when you make statements especially hypocritical ones that you have, then you have to expect that people are going to call you on it .saying its wrong to hunt yet you eat meat is hypocritical . | |

Tianna, granted there are thousands of people but then again there are only a few hundered that are even worth noticing due to demographical reasons, fishing and hunting is a speical hobby after all so really I think these sort of threads do have a logic to it as something is going wrong with the OP profile he wants an explination about. In my place alone my matches are already turning up the same matches again and again so really there are thousands but when you narrow it down to people who are in a reasonable distance and share the same hobbies and more importantly values then that narrows the margin considerably. Hence why we make these threads so that we get the best shot at selling ourselves. | |

Posted: 3/12/2007 11:43:12 PM | | funny white raven isnt out defending herself, you must of shafted her pretty good and yeah there is a logic to your counter arguments. You know hunting actally is a better way to kill animals because death is instant and the animal is long dead before it is slaughtered, at least in the case of deer. Fish I always pound on the head before I clean it to ensure a quick and painless death. But some ppl just dont understand nor do they want to. | |
