Never understood it. My ex BIL started my nephew shooting anything that lives (birds, rabbit, chipmunks). Now my nephew is staying with us at the inlaws this weekend just hanging out. He went and sat this morning but didn't see any deer so this evening he goes out with his .22 and shoots 5 squirrels. He came back and asked me and my other BIL if we wanted them and we didn't so he took them out to the woods and chunked them. I was taught to never shoot anything that I wasn't going to eat. Now there's just gonna be even more coyotes out here in the morning. Yay.

That's illegal in most, if not all states. Wanton waste of game.

|
Well, I do hunt Coyotes.
And I'm sure not going to eat them! |
|

You're ex BIL or whatever is a retard, as with anyone who kills non-nuisance animals for no reason.

A lot of Arfcommers would kill as many animals as possible. I don't mind hunting at all but I don't wastefully kill shit for no reason.

By the same token developers cleared 39 acres adjoining mine . I am now overran with squirrels , possums and armadillos . I had squirrels in my attic last year . They chewed holes in my fascia boards . I have a freezer full of animals to eat . I am not down to eating the last tree rat

We killed 5 coons and then incinerated he bodies on a bonfire.

We used to shoot crows and pigeons with BB guns when we were 12ish, for no real reason. Pigeons are just flying rats that do nothing useful. I don't know what crows do, besides make noise.
Haven't done it as an adult. Just woodchucks. Fuck those things. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

You should have said sure you want them, show him how to clean the first one and let him do the rest or even make him watch a youtube vid on how to do it.

squirrels, coons, possums, I don't give a shit. So many of them around here that between my torn up trash and acorns and scurrying in my attic it's game on.

Look at some pictures from the good old days regarding jackrabbits.

I don't really care for Mountain Lion (kinda sweet tasting), or bear meat

I feel the same way, except I won't shoot something I can't use.
I trap and shoot coyotes too, and use the pelts, but I wouldn't eat a coyote or a coon unless we were truly hungry. For small game though, if you are going to take that critters life you better be ready to make it worth something. |

I rack up piles and piles of dead hogs. I don't eat any of them.

I've always eaten squirels. Just make sure you shoot them away from any houses or cities. They will eat trash. |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile No mammals are dangerous to eat provided you cook it fully. If you have ever smelled the sickly sweet stink of the inside of a coyote when you skin it out though you will want to pass on the meat. Plus, the guy I used to sell pelts to almost died some time back, got a virus from the inside of a gut shot coyote, he was in the hospital for weeks. I wear gloves and a dust mask (to cover my mouth and nose) now when I skin them. |

In AZ you do not have to eat Bear and in every state in the west, you do not have to eat Mountain Lion. Do I feel bad about killing stuff that I don't eat -- NO.
I kill many predators every year and do not feel bad about it for a second. I also kill furbearers and do not eat them. I am largely focused on killing a wolf this winter and will not feel bad at all about skinning it out and leaving the carcass. For those of you who disagree with this, that's fine, don't go and do it yourself. But do not go and try to control people such as myself. Do not go be some anti-hunting fudd. That's the exact same thing as wanting to ban guns because you do not personally see a need for them. |

Same here, was out dove hunting and came face to face with, what I think was a rabid coyote. Looked sick and wouldn't go away. It caught a 12 gauge load to the head. Also, lately we have had coyotes attacking dogs and cats in our neighborhood. When my daughter runs with our dogs she has bear spray and a Glock. A pack of three attacked a neighbors dog while she was out walking her dog. |

I don't shoot squirrels anymore... If I decide to, I've eaten enough squirrel and dumplings in my life to feel just fine about leaving one laying.

Noted. Do not eat coyotes. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile View Quote On the flip side of that, coons smell fine, but have inches (yes inches) of thick yellow greasy fat all around them. I have heard that they make great BBQ, but they look just like a skinned cat hanging there, so I haven't brought myself to try it yet. |

Jim Beam avatar, from alabama and dont eat squirrels, especially this time of year.
You sir, are not a southerner or a gentleman. |

I actually talked to a guy a few weeks ago that said he ate a ton of barn piegons as a kid. He said they taste great, better than "Those shit eating turkeys"

Popped an armadillo last week. Nope not eatin' it.
Almost took a crow this A.M. held off cause he was in a tree and I wasn't sure where the bullet would end up. Crow ain't stoppin' 223 |

Vermin and nuisance animals don't always get eaten. Also, there are a few animals that I enjoy hunting that I don't enjoy eating but I certainly don't waste the meat. I usually give it away to friends or worst case scenario a food pantry.

I'd kill a coyote, squirrel, pidgeon, oppossum, starling, or hog in a heartbeat. I'd probably leave it lay where it dropped too and move on. Things such as rabbits, deer, or game birds should only be killed for food. Then there are the sport animals like lions, bears, wolves, ect which are killed to mount. They can be killed but should be highly regulated to protect their numbers.
Animals should be killed for a purpose, whether it is for food, protection of property, or fur/sport. Random murder for no reason is pointless and illegal in most cases. Edit: Rabbits can be classified as nuisance or game animal depending on location. Around here they are mostly fur/food animals. |

In the past I have killed a number of squirrels and rats due to pest management! Never have I ate any of them. Though I would if I where hungry enough too!
Those rodents can cause a ton of damage to your home. So for me killing them , is a non issue! |

Quoted: Look at some pictures from the good old days regarding jackrabbits. View Quote My dad use to tell me about farmers paying him 5 cents a head to keep them from destroying their crops. He use to use a Sears and Roebuck .22 then he bought a Ruger 10/22 (both of which I still have) He made pretty good coin for a nights work. I've personally seen herds of jackrabbits along the highway driving back late at night from Babe Ruth or American Legion baseball games. Some of the old jackrabbit round ups were, well brutal. |
