An excellent video with a lot or real information for anyone planning a hunt. I have hunted all my life and I understand that a lot of people who don't have very negative views on hunting, especially trophy hunting. This is just life and to be expected but not something you should let bother you at all. A lot is tied in with the "snowflakes" who are dedicated and ardent gun haters, and especially here in Canada where they are solidly encouraged by left leaning and officially anti-gun governments. Just stay on top of things politically speaking and never let these types gain an inch. Just learn to accept that you will never change these people and why should you. You and I understand hunting and it's appeal to the human soul; they never will. They see hunting as pure killing; you and I know different. They never will.....

I can only describe it as the most agile and gracious battle tank I’ve ever seen. And that swing with the shoulder and elbow....like they get hit by a fucking snowplough or a cow catcher on a freight train. 😱😄😄🤣🤣100% NECESSARY violence if you ask me. 👌👌👌 Over here we hunters have immense respect for wild boar, one of the most illustrious knights in our national history (Godefroy de Bouillon) had the nickname «Godefroy the Wild Boar » and once in a blue moon it’s also a title, given to heroic sportsmen. From now on you’re «Larry the Wild Boar» for me 🏃🏼♂️🥶🏃🏽♂️🥶🏃♂️🥶🏃🏿♂️🥶🏃🥶🏃🏽🥶🏃🏻🥶🏃🏽☄️☄️☄️💀💀🐗 🏉 🐗💀💀💨💨 Fan for life. 🙏🏻

Why not make sure that you are truly saved by Jesus Christ and practice this way. Remorsefully confess with your heart your sins to Jesus Christ who is God and tell Him that you right now are repenting of your sins and you want to be born again of the Spirit from above. Tell Jesus that you are remorsefully sorry for breaking His commandments and that you are begging for forgiveness from Him. Allow His blood from the cross to wash away your sins. After this is done with your heart successfully the Holy Spirit will come to live within you and He will rebuild you from the inside out. Look for signs that you are saved. Things like spreading the good news from Jesus, getting other people saved, a craving for the word of God, reading the Bible, etc… These things are known as a calling and fruit bearing. If you're not bearing fruit then keep doing it. Sometimes it takes time to get saved. Read Matthew chapter 13 from the King James Bible. God bless!!!!!!!

Why is it that humans need to experience firsthand the trauma and terror of death before they can appreciate that something is fundamentally (morally?) wrong in "killing for sport?" Most hunters never experience that, yet need to prove their manhood by doling it out. Experience a bullet coming at you (or an arrow) and then see how "manly" you are. The so-called "joy" of hunting is, first, rationalizing that the "odds" are against you (having to hike and camp - really?) and then, second, watching a large animal fall and die, and rationalizing that as "beating the odds," overcoming nature, surviving - and that being your "test." The so-called "thrill" you get is 1000% one-sided, oblivious to the world of "the other." -- And don't give me shit about "quotas" and "healthy herds" -- bullshit fabricated by three industries conjoined in the interest of "profit" - the hunting industry, the Forestry Dept., and the gun industry (the infamous "iron triangle"). If you truly want "fair," try getting shot at then running for you r life. But no, you see a beautiful animal like this, and your VERY FIRST instinct is to want to kill it (by stealth, with all the trappings of modern technology) and turn it into a rug. or a wall mount - a trophy/symbol of manhood. How about a hunting season on hunters! Sign me up!

Bullshit, people are part of nature, we hunt and we eat meat, that is also natural for us,the only difference between us and the rest of the animal kingdom is our compassion in ensuring a quick kill and minimum suffering, this is unique to us and us alone. You sheltered hypocrites drive me mad, get a clue about nature, the harshness of it, and our part in it. Who are you to critisize man doing what man is driven to do and has done for hundreds of thousands of years? How dare you get on your high horse about something you`re so clearly clueless about.

wheelie w, we don't hunt to kill animals, we hunt to be connected to nature in the most direct way. That is by being what humans have been since we started walking on two legs, hunters. Humans are a part of nature, and always have been. Animals are not innocent, and bears are cannibals. Eating wild meat instead of factory farm raised animals is healthier for both body and spirit. All animals are either hunting other animals or are prey for other animals. Humans are just another animal. The urban life disconnected from natural processes, is not reality.

you also missed the part in a previous video where they talked about hard winters killing 50 percent of those deer because they're worn out from the rut and can't find food so they huddle up and die. By that standard, or getting ripped apart by a bear or other predator, being shot by a human is about the most humane death that any of these animals can hope for, or that you could hope for them. We're all hunters wheelie, some of us just don't hunt any more.

James Franco, not quite on topic but since you've ventured there. You most likely talk yourself into believing the government version of 9/11. Do you have an original, critical thought of your own or do you follow any orders given by your "superiors" to kill other humans, who have never attacked you? War exists because of idiots like you who blindly follow orders of their so called leaders who couldn't give two $hits if you come back maimed or in a body bag. They'd gladly take your "loved" family also and send them off to their demise. But they never send any of their own, unless as a media stunt, far from the front lines. You believe the labels given to your targets by conspiring media and use it as justification for your handiwork. While in fact you are the ignorant, evil terrorist, whose only capacity of love is that of taking a fellow human's life. You in fact murder people on foreign lands then come home thinking yourself a hero and continue with your pretentious low life.
