I can see your reasoning on hunting. I've hunted all my life and fished so my opinion is that if you hunt for meat you can do so however you like. Trophy hunting when the meat isn't used is utterly inexcusable.

[@ashleybobby1285]

Yeah. If you kill it, eat it. I never really like the idea of people hunting predator animals mainly because they aren't eating the meat.

Depends on the how the trophy hunting is done poaching is really bad but you can pay a bunch of money to go hunt lions elephants and other animals that have gotten out of control and are hurting their own population

[@shockwave6213]

Even trophy hunted animals yield meat. Over in Africa, they will eat the meat off of Lions, Giraffes, Hippos, etc.... after the hunt. When tribes and villages rely on the paid safari hunts they sponsor for meat, they're not picky.

[@bryanwoods3373]

@@rickystewart4400 That's the thing that gets me when you read into many of the trophy hunts like that. The choice is one old giraffe or letting it kill all the young males in its group.

That's how you run a human build in the current meta of the Earth Server. Almost all of a human's stats are mediocre at best, except for the intelligence stat, which gives them the special ability to temporarily max out any other stat. The reason hunters use guns and camouflage to hunt is because they are using their high intelligence, their one advantage in the meta, to come out on top. Humans' high intelligence stat is why they currently dominate the game. What you're suggesting is that human hunters abandon their one advantage and take on another build type with their mediocre base stats, which is a terrible way to run a human build.

If you say so...

[@thebigdug]

You’re right: without our ability to use tools, we have no advantage in the current meta considering we have little natural camouflage, low speed and defense stats, and mediocre attack at best. Our high intelligence stat gives us the ability to buff all of our other stats so significantly that we can outshine even other top tiers to the point of undeniable dominance. It would be unfair if we tried to take on another species without being able to use our only saving grace. ¿Do Geese See God?, as an Autistic person, I’d like to offer a rebuttal to your seeming hatred of the disability, but I fear you wouldn’t be able to understand what I’d write.

There's one hunting video I laugh at every time. A guy was bow hunting a pheasant I believe but he didn't kill it right away.

I'm sure it's a coincidence, but it is deer season this week, or next, in much of the central US. You cannot imagine the hype and importance this holds for many people (at least in rural areas). People pull their kids out of school. Some businesses close early. Everywhere you go camo and orange seem the dress code. Even if you have no interest in hunting, you have to be aware of it. You legally can't even walk in public woods or fields without wearing orange. Even on your own land, you wear orange, unless you want to take the chance of being shot. Even driving is more dangerous because deer cross the road a lot more. (FYI I don't hunt, but where I live that is unusual)

Makes sense as wolves eat deer and ya can't have wolves near people or they can eat them too. So we took out the wolf and keep the deer in check in their place.

At least where I am from, the whole "hunting separating the boys from the men" thing is because some families are so damn poor that if they fail too badly during hunting season their family could go hungry.

Hey, I don’t care if you like hunting or not, but ima just give reasons why hunting can be acceptable. I live in a very rural area (like 60 miles from the nearest city), and hunting is obviously very popular as a sport. I don’t see the appeal of hunting for sport, but there are reasons to hunt. A while back our timber wolf population was so out of control that it was a threat to the deer population. When the deer run out you then have a bunch of wolves starving to death and no more deer. Not only is it more humane to kill the wolves through hunting because it’s prevents them from starving to death, but you also protect the deer. In a similar sense, now the deer population is a little out of control, and it’s harming some of the plant life, especially white pines. Not to mention the increased risk of smashing a deer with your car. Basically, my point is you can use hunting as a means to generate income for a state by selling licenses, while also keeping animal populations at a reasonable level. Also, moose meat is literally the best meat I’ve ever tasted, and I don’t believe you can get farm raised moose lol. If you can, please hook me up.

[@dansattah]

Russia, specifically Siberia, has hundreds of years of experience in caribou/moose farming, so if you ever have the time and money to visit or import, I could recommend you to try that. Finland is another strong candidate, a South African exchange student in Finland, who vlogs on KZbin, once complained that the Finns eat reindeer pizza. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWLbk6aliJhjoZo

Andrew Evenson you don't care what people think, yet you wrote a novel trying to convince people to accept what you think? I think you do care, I think you are a great big care bear. But you said killing is more humane because if you kill the wolves then the wolves dont die, sure, whatever, I think killing is fun and pretending it isn't is a critical error. Just say hey I like killing stuff because f yea bro! So now everyone knows you hate wildlife, but also know you are a great big liar, so next time you want to convince others that you just don't care, you shouldn't bother.

Surely the use of tools should be considered one of man's natural strengths. Maybe sniping animals from a mile away is a bit excessive, but bare hands is taking it too far in the opposite direction. What about that guy who built himself an armoured bear-fighting suit? Is that guy cheating? I don't think he is, especially considering he's building the armour itself, thus pitting his own design and use of tools against the bear's own strength. As for Meek, there's an obvious difference between sport hunting and hunting in the interest of science. I mean, you gotta dissect the frog to understand it.
