I through bashing could not resist that shot though!

I manage 250 Acres of woodland in Northern Wisconsin. I hunt deer and know that management of wildlife if an important part of living up here. 9 wolves were killed this hunting season, which puts a dent in the DNR efforts to reintroduce the predator to help cull the deer herd. The fact is, people are here to stay and we have to take over the role of predator sometimes. Everyone will have different opinions here, but I would be interested to find out just what people from PETA and other "animal rights" groups would do instead? Do they realize that overpopulation leads to disease, starvation and suffering? An animal, such as that bobcat is a lovely creature, but once an animal has crossed paths with civilization, that animal has changed forever. The bobcat saw livestock as a foodsource and once that decision is made, the animal must be destroyed or captured. Since we do not live in a Disney movie, the first option is the most practicle.

I am not a fan of hunting simply for sport, but I hope some of the folks who spoke out here can see that there are times when killing a wild animal is necessary, even when it is we who have encroached on its territory. Life can be harsh folks, but do not blame this guy for all of that.

Peace.

Darbarian - I think that f**king moron jbu thinks we should put condoms on the deer. I bet he thinks that we should pay our conservation police to inject birth control into the food source. The simple point is you can't get through to these idiots. They are so blinded by a false reality that they can't and won't ever see through it.

I totally agree with MACS - why should this guy say sorry to a bunch of pansy as* libs. The someone's who love our freedom, but would never break a sweat to save it.

We would not have a problem with deer if we did not kill all thier predators......You dumb Hick!

People offered serious advice here how to build a better chicken coup.

Spend the money on your kids education instead of the taxidermist. They will suffer worse under ignorance than any bobcat. Lets put it this way, they would not have to keep chicken in their yard.

Besides I am all for hunting deer.

Sorry, but I think this is just a sad image...

Like someone here said so well... I would have rather bought another chicken, than kill a beautiful animal as that.

VERY Sad...

PT 😞

jbu - You truly sound like a fool. I hope your just a little kid playing on dads computer, because if you are an adult you have to sign up for some special ed classes. Your facts are way off and every time you post you look like a bigger and bigger fool. Tell me Mr. Conservation how many deer are out there right now? Also while your at it why don't you give me all the facts you currently know about bobcat and whitetail deer habitat. The fact is you no nothing about this guy or where he lives. You want this guy to build a prison for his chickens in his backyard. You are a true moron. I have a feeling you weigh about 110lbs and you drive a little convertible that says "ISWALLO" on the license plate. Stick with what you know - Dora the Explorer is on cable right now and if you hurry you can catch the last 30 minutes or so.

Darbarian -

"I am not a fan of hunting simply for sport, but I hope some of the folks who spoke out here can see that there are times when killing a wild animal is necessary,...."

I agree completely. I guess what bothers me is this mentality of killing just to kill. Maybe this guy had what he thought was a good reason to kill this cat. Maybe he tried other methods before resorting to this final option. I'm thinking, with the look of this picture, the bravado displayed, maybe that's not the case. Why is killing this cat something to boast about?

Many people desparage our southern brothers for being crass, inbred rednecks and, while there are some who resemble that remark, I can tell you the south has no corner on that market. I live on the edge of the NY Southern Tier and will vouch that hillbillies are everywhere. These dudes just love nothing more than shooting thier guns and aren't too particualr about what they shoot at. It is something they get an incredible amount of joy trumpeting about. As if it makes the size of thier genitals swell with each telling.

In the end, as I said, I support hunting as long as ethics are applied and that includes being judicious about what we kill and why we kill it.

Life, all life, is precious. Some of it is worth taking because it helps the population of that species. Some because it causes undue hardship to hardworking humans.
I prefer to kill something that will feed my family in the most healthy and natural way.

If you want to call me soft (or worse as the case may be) or paint me with whatever brush is handy to you, feel free.

Umm jbu.. that dumb hick is a member of the United States Armed Forces.. one who protects your rights to your free speech!

Also by chance did you see Darbarian post at all?

Now picture the size of that deer.. then look at the size of your children then picture yourself taking your family on a picnic.. although as stated if you keep a good eye on every move your children make.. there is nothing to worry about...

well these Cats don't know the difference between doe meat or children meat.. they only sense the weakness of their pray...

Hog make no mistake, I do more than my part of protecting this country and our freedom.

Yes I know what Bobcat are capable of. Its even worse with Mountain Lions. We dont kill off all the mountain lions, we keep our kids away. Because it would be fool hardy to believe that your kids wont be attacked by another bobcat.

I never understood what having it mounted had to do with child safety.

hoyo - I've never understood why guys brag about pro-sporting teams like they have anything to do with their success. Also I've never understood why a guy has to act like getting par on a golf coarse is a big deal. My point is some guys golf,hunt,fish,hike or whatever we all have things we like to brag about.

chuckler - How do you feel about beef or pork? My point is have you ever ran a saw through the neck of a live 2000lbs Black Angus. Have you ever listened to one bleed out in front of you? Also have you ever shot a pig on the head with a bolt gun when it was in a small pin where it couldn't move? My guess is the answer is no. I worked in a slaughter house while I was in high school, and let me tell you I would rather be shot by a hunter then go through a slaughter house. Maybe you should think about that before you eat your next steak dinner.

Usahog,

Are you suggesting that members of the armed forces should have unlimited hunting rights and should systematically kill all deer in the United States to protect the children and preserve free speech?

I hate being oppressed by deer.

Most States they already do HD... as long as they are Active Duty or on Orders!
