But yeah. Go ahead and keep on hating on hunters while you walk down to your local supermarket to pick up your meat and vegetables.

No Hordini, this man's right. Deer hunting is blatantly unfair. The deer is fast, jumpy, and can outrun a bullet, whilst the hunter is a fat greasy Texan. To even the odds, I would have a pair of F-22 Raptors provide air cover with missiles whilst the navy fired artillery shells from the coast while the boys in Spec Ops ambush the deer and disable it with sniper shots to the legs.

If you are hunting for food then fair enough, for sport I find that repulsive.

Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life. Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.

First off I have to say that I found this hilarious. I laughed so hard my wife thought I was having a heart attack or something.
Secondly I also don't like guns. Shooting deer for food seems a bit odd in this day and age. No supermarkets? Seriously I would rather go buy food knowing it had been killed humanely instead of shot by some sadistic hunter (though I'm sure that's just a stereotype). Also consider that most meat these days comes in the form of beef, pork or chicken. But then I guess it just wouldn't be sporting to shoot a cow.

You mean killed "humanely" after being raised in a factory farm, like most store-bought meat? Why are butchers humane and hunters are sadistic? That's ridiculous. Like I already said, besides using them for meat, the deer need to be hunted in many areas because they have no other predators besides humans, and if you're going to kill them you ought to eat them or give the meat to someone who will. There are programs in place where hunters who don't want the meat can donate it to homeless shelters and things like that. In my experience most people who say things like "shooting deer for food seems a bit odd in this day and age" are people who rely completely on others for their food supply, and most of them don't have any sort of realistic idea about the process.

I don't shoot deer for food. I shoot them to hear them whine and bleed for a half mile. Once it stops from exhaustion, I move in for the slow kill, giving the deer high doses of speedballs and following it with absinthe. It'll finally die from heart failure. But my perversity doesn't end there, I resuscitate the deer and install a pacemaker in its heart to keep this hunt going. I'll let it gain strength so I can do it all over again. Muahahaha

The process of what? Loading a gun, creeping up on an animal and blowing it's brains out? I'm sorry if I caused offense but to my mind deer hunting is pretty much the same as fox hunting. Unnecessary.
Maybe my opinion comes from the fact I'm English and we (generally) don't have guns.

I see hunting as a test of skill and a sport.
I haven't ever killed anything but flies, but that is a sport in and of itself.

"I.. I know my time has come" Tethesis said with a gasp, a torrent of blood flowing from his lips.
"No! Hang on brother!!" Altharius could feel the warmth slip away from his dear sibling's hands
Tethesis's reached out his bloodied arm to Altharius's face.
"I..I have one final request"
Altharius leaned close to listen, tears welling in his once bright eyes.
"make sure th..they put my soulstone in a tank... it'll be... real fethin' cool"
"Yes, you're gonna be the most fethin' cool tank!!" burning hot tears streaked down Altharius's face, as he held his brother's soul in his grasp.

You don't blow its brains out, you shoot it in the neck to sever the spine so it doesn't go into spasms and toughen the meat. Then you start skinning it alive and sprinking salt on it.
Only then is rape permitted.
