I see. I believe he was being supervised by his father and a guide though.

Kids from hunting families in the southern U.S. have usually taken their first deer by 10 or 11. It's not unusual for an 11 year old to hunt here.

This a a presumptive and disingenuous question. Personally, I don't agree with exotic sport hunting, whale hunting or "captive" preserve hunting either.

well if you shoot it and eat it - I don't have a problem with the exception of al quedas. However what I tell most people that want a fish why I go fly fishing is the a 14 incher is much better to eat than a 36 incher. How do I equate to this. Would you rather eat a 20 yr old or a 70 year old?? I would have photographed the big monster and shot one of his siblings. But a long as we love veal all bets are off regarding hunting and fur coats.

Very much agree fousto. Younger animals are usually a lot juicier :) Definitely agree that the smaller fish tend to be the tastier :)

They just showed on TV the Simpsons episode where Homer, Moe and Barney took Bart deer hunting to "make him straight". Bart said, "I don't know. Three men alone in the woods. Seems kind of gay".

I've killed things before and eaten them. Only guinea fowl and pheasant though if I'm honest. But the feeling of satisfaction I got by killing and preparing my meal all by myself is something that will live with me forever.

As Richard Hammond of his adrenalin rush after doing the running of the bulls in Pamplona. "it's the caveman running from the sabre tooth tiger". That's the feeling people get when they hunt something.

I've never heard so much self righteous twaddle in my life.

Wow :eek: I actually agree with Daniel on a topic. Why shouldn't someone be allowed to do something because you don't like it? Hunting that animal has no direct detrimental effect on any on another human life.

Actual meat is not "produced". All of it comes from some two or four legged creature that either has his head bashed in, gets his throat cut or takes a bullet to the heart.

I don't know what you are talking about here. :confused: It is total gibberish. Or at least it is for farming in the UK.

Here they've got the Simpsons episode where Bart develops a thing for drumming and they have the White Stripes on it.

I can't believe that you're now trying to bring the whole "gay" thing into it...... wonders will never cease......

Well, isn't hunting considered to be one of the last safe havens for "real" men? ;)

All the meat that this wild boar provides should allow a number of Eki's humanely farmed piggys to enjoy life a little longer. I'm sure the little piggys are hoping that alot more 11 year olds go boar hunting.
