Hunting animals for food

[rock_ten]

This has been mentioned a bit before, but I think a thread about it would be great. I know there are a few members who hunt animals for food.

Tell us anything about it you like :good:

I very much want to try getting some rabbits, there's so many of them around here. Maybe squirells too. I've been looking up ways to go about it, I'm not sure what I should do yet.

Thanks dudes

go for bigger game, killing enough rabit's or squirells and not damaging the meat is harder (imo) than just killing a deer... you could be all like, BOOM HEARTSHOT!!!

Yea I can imagine - but finding deer would be very hard. Here in the UK there aren't many wild areas left, if any, so I can't just go out and hunt rhinos and shit. The rabbits here are everywhere, and would be easy to get. I don't know if its legal or not, though.

Deer frollick like 50 feet from my house on a regular basis.

[Syn]

lobo, kill me some deer, make some deer jerky, and send it over this way

[Jujimufu]

Hunting owns. I will learn to do it one day and hunt for meat to stock whatever gigantic deep freezers I will own in the future. :ogre: :flesh:

Karlnold is our resident hunter here on TT, he can tell you a lot about it.

If you want to catch rabbit for food you have to trap them. Smaller game needs to be trapped and then brutally butchered one way or the other. This is to keep whatever meat they have as untouched as possible.

Juji said it otherwise, Karl is our hunter.

hmm, yea. Plenty of people shoot rabbits, but you have to be a good shot I suppose. I guess trapping is the simpler option, then the next morning I come with a knife and send it to allah.

Yea, I definately had Karlnold in mind when I made the thread - I hope he contributes.

I'm currently propagandizing for hunting/eating wildmeat at the PT school, it's known that wild meat is very healthy compared to cattle/industry meat(unless you're an eskimo and have to eat polluted polarbear meat). It also offers a lot o variety and new/exotic flavours. There are some really good, healthy recepies for wild meat aswell.

There's different types of hunters, I myself would never kill anything I won't eat(mostly), unless I get attacked by wolves or a bear, though that hasn't happend... yet :P. I don't really hunt for thropies either, but sometimes it's nice to keep mementos, I usually keep the whole skull if it was an interesting/"special" hunt, just so I'll remember.

Most hunters comes by large quantities of meat during the hunting seasons, I usually give most meat to the elderly folks in my home village, it's really appreciated, and it usually pays off since they invite me to hunt on their lands aswell since they're too old to do it by themselves... There's a fucklot of meat on larger animals, good protein sources ppl. Even though the meat stays well for a very long time while stored in the freezer, most is usually just given away. You should all check with your family and folks if there's someone hunting in your family tree, you should contact them, offer to buy some meat, I'm sure they'll give it to you for free unless they're cheap, red-neck, assholes. Just be polite and have a good motivation for them to give it to you, like you're curious, loves the taste, or just lie and say you're allergic to cattle. Just do it around season so you won't get like frozen leftovers from last year, ha ha.

Karlnold should host a TT hunting gathering.

Rabbits and squirrels are shitty meats, just so you know. Beef/poultry is superior.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_starvation

"Rabbits can provide the easiest of meals but their flesh lacks fat and vitamins essential to man. The Hudson Bay Company recorded cases of trappers dying of starvation although eating well on an easily available diet of rabbit... Rabbits and many rodents carry Tularemia." - SAS Survival Handbook

I have that book. I just liked the part on trapping / killing.

[Steve]

Like half the book is dedicated to precautions that no one gives a shit about

[shengoikee]

so they dont get sued by a dumbass yank haha

[Noobtricks]

I should try hunting, I've been fishing most my life.... :dead: lol but I perfer eating fresh fish compared to fresh deer...:sad:

[Gazapo]

I have deer living in my backyard back in IL. Also had a family of fox living back there but they got in a fight with my dog so I killed em. The deer do no harm tho.

[compleks]

I would like to hunt a human, just like in hard taget. As long as it isn't Van Damme.

[rockmonkey]

go for woodpigeons, there isnt much meat on a squirrel, also fuck the law and go for a pheasant or duck
also if you want to be super manly, dress in the skins of your animals and hunt with a bow/bare hands

[rock_ten]

Thanks for the replies, dudes. Steve - yea afaik summer is a bad time for rabbits due to parasites and their diseases. They're easier to find in summer though.

I'll have to find some UK-based information about it. I don't live too far away from rural areas, so I could probably get grouse and pheasants quite easily if I had a silenced gun. There's no woodland, though, so large animals like deer are out of the question. I think there's only about 5 left in England anyway.

[PaRaSiTe_X92]

If you get some info, post it here as I'd be very interested, being from the lovely countryside of Devon (which sucks).

I can only really get pheasants - hundreds of the buggers, literally - plus a couple rabbits. I want more wildlife to kill!

[saunders]

squirrels are full of flees and other crap, besides i don't think they have much meat on them.

hunt something bigger, like poor tricksters and babies

[Wesker]

I've never hunted since I grew up in the city. But fishing with nets and eating fresh fish is satisfaction.
I once shot and killed a small bird with an airrifle, but it was dirty so I didn't eat it.

Deer meat, or renskav is mighty tasty.

[Rigo]

Mmm...Deer meat rox. My uncle used to hunt, now he's too old, but he get's meat from other hunters. I wan't to try and kill a deer, or so some time...WITH A KNIFE!

[Cona-meister]

I've fished, but I hope to be able to go kangaroo hunting in the future. Kangaroo meat is delicious. I wish we had wild deer here.

Wouldnt fish excretions make you gag?

When I used to live in New Zealand I used to hunt on a regular basis, On the rare occasions we were lucky enough to land a deer the meat was great. Hunting wild pigs is also very big over there, they way they do it is they train dogs to get hold of the pigs ears they they go in and slice the pigs throat with a knife, if you shoot a pig your considered a sissy! even though they often weigh more than 100kgs and have razor sharp tusks.

NZ is aflood with wild goats, and you are encouraged to go shoot some as they cause many traffic accidents and are a pest, although ive not yet discovered how to cook the meat so it actually tastes nice. Hares are more common that rabbits, also they have more meat but dont taste as good.

[rock_ten]

awesome, NZ seems quite valid. I'm considering it as a place to live when I escape England.

rock_ten, join the club. I'm thinking of going to the US though instead. :)

out of the frying pan, into the fire...

[Steve]

I've never hunted because my parents are hippie faggots, although I had the choice to blast a deer's head off with a Mauser once. I would have gotten blood all over my trunk though.

[Karlnold]

Animals don't bleed that much when they're dead, unless it's a huge wound. Ha ha like if you actually blow the head off...
I use to carry deers on my shoulders back to my house after hunt and I hardly ever get any blood stains on me...

[Steve]

Yeah but there would still be blood everywhere haha, and I didn't even have a skinning knife so it would be a pain in the ass unless I found a butcher in the phonebook or something.

[Karlnold]

Ha ha, sounds more like a murder/assasination than a hunt... Getting rid off evidence and stuff...

[PaRaSiTe_X92]

out of the frying pan, into the fire...
Out of the fire and into the frying pan IMO :D

[Lobo]

I've never really hunted, other than fishing. I ripped a pheasant's head off once, and I've helped gut a deer before.

At first I thought that said peasants ahahah.
