Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Jim, why do you refuse to answer one simple question?
I have read your posts hence the need to ask the question.
Let's see:
1) You don't want people taking deer from your woods yet you have a collection of animals that originated from someone's environment. AND your motivation to own these animals is profit driven vs necessity.
2) You think it's horrible to harvest a wild animal yet your wearing leather shoes.
3) You somehow believe there are actual animals that are magically grown for human consumption but wildlife is not part of that. Isn't the very definition of being made for human consumption imply that it is made of meat?
4) You have created an animal hierarchy based upon whether you have to pull the trigger or not.
5) You have created a human hierarchy based upon whether you pull the trigger or not. After all, if you are the one who pulls the trigger then you are obviously a low life who needs to get a better job to provide for his family.
6) You equate law abiding hunters with poachers.
7) You mistakenly equate hunting as having no positive effect on wildlife despite the BILLIONS we spend each year on the environment.
I just shelled out over $20,000 on an elk hunt at 3 Forks Ranch for later this year and I am just one person! Nevermind there are MILLIONS of other low life hunters doing the same.
So Jim, yes, I am asking YOU for your definition of senseless hunting because your whole arguement, of which I just shot full of holes, depends upon it.
So, what is YOUR definition?

PS You and I do agree on one thing though. All of God's animals have a place on this earth. Right next to my mash potato's!

Sounds like you was directing it to me, at least it sure looked that way.
just about all of your posts about this have been sarcastic.
If you want to be a smart @$$, espect the same in return.
this seems like senseless hunting to me;
Hunting, the stalking and killing of animals, has been an American tradition most likely since the Ice Age when plant food became scarce. Today it exists as a "sport"; even when the animals' flesh is eaten, there is no excuse or justification for stalking and killing an animal in his or her habitat. Nevertheless, people not only engage in hunting but strongly defend it as their right to do so. With an arsenal of rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders, handguns, bows and arrows, hunters kill more than 200 million animals yearly - crippling, orphaning, and harassing millions more. The annual death toll in the U.S. includes 42 million mourning doves, 30 million squirrels, 28 million quail, 25 million rabbits, 20 million pheasants, 14 million ducks, 6 million deer, and thousands of geese, bears, moose, elk, antelope, swans, cougars, turkeys, wolves, foxes, coyotes, bobcats, boars, and other woodland creatures. (Data from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and state wildlife agencies.)

Well heck, my one deer isn't going to make a difference so I guess I may as well keep it up.
