Simple, do you hunt anything?
Do you eat what you kill or do you give it away? I know this probably gets asked once or twice a year... |

Quoted:
no, not that I have anything against hunting, just its generally time consuming and expensive, and i don't have the money or time for another hobby. Time consuming yes, is only as expensive as you want it to be though. May need to plug a shotgun or get a 5 round rifle mag if needed but that's it if you already own guns. |

Time, money, health and work all conspire to make it harder and harder to get out every year. Nowadays I am lucky to get one quail/dove session in a year - the last elk hunt I went on was four years ago, and I suspect it was in fact my last until I retire. I generally hunt with some friends and family and we all divvy up what we get, so I suppose I end up giving most of it away. Which is fine. ETA - Not strictly a hunt, but we do cull coyotes at my brother's ranch once a year, so I guess that counts as a hunt. We dont eat those! |

He lives in texas, he'd have to fork out money to hunt on a lease, unless he was lucky enough to find someone who will let him hunt for free. I checked the top option on the poll, but others aply to me as well. Needs an option for exploding varmints and leaving them lay... I also donate alot of meat too... |

Plenty of National Forest and BLM land here, not the best for some stuff and lots of areas have been restricted or encase an open area so getting to it is impossible

I only really ever hunted deer and even then I haven't done that for a few years. Permits are too expensive and processing (I field dress but that's it) adds $60 to the cost so it ends up being about $2/lb which for that I can buy hamburger. Also, I hate morning and fun to me is not getting up at 4:30 AM and sitting in a stand while freezing my balls off just to shoot something.
If I had to to survive I would but I don't so I won't be doing it right now. |

Deer (muleys only), elk, antelope, and the occasional small game (rabbit, mostly) just to keep the kids interested. And, hell yes I eat what I kill. That's kind of the point (although just getting out in the mountains is more of the point). If I can avoid it, I don't share the first two. Antelope gets old quick, so I don't mind spreading that around a bit.
Nothing that requires a shotgun, tho. Shot a few grouse with a .22, but otherwise I avoid birds. Waterfowl and pheasant hunters seem kind of off their rockers to me, but as long as they don't make me eat the things, they don't really bother me much. |

I HAVE hunted before...didn't kill anything though  didnt bother getting a license this year, I'll go again next year. Damn doves are taunting me  I had full intention of eating anything I killedOutside of doves, everything else is either too much of an investment or too complicated. Not too many places to hunt near me, I'd LOVE to find some private land the owners would let me loose on but don't know anybody yet. |

I don't hunt either. I have nothing against it; I understand why people like it; I'm glad people hunt; it's just not for me. |

I freedive and spearfish regularly water conditions permitting. I would say 80% of my diet comes from my catch.Don't know if people here consider it hunting or not http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u175/donniebrasco223/IMG00102-20111001-1450.jpg damn nice! |
