only problem is, its really easy to make. pretty cheap too.

While this is a little over the top on the "touchy feely" scale I see what you are saying. I also am thankful for each animal and I feel like God wants us to be. Native Americans view/viewed them the same way. A resource to be thankful for and given respect. I think when you stop realizing that in some sense and taking a moment in the woods after a kill to at least thank the Good Lord you need to stop. Animals deserve better than that and aren't just an adrenaline fix. I always stop, kneel and say a quick prayer next to each deer. Im thankful God gave it to me to feed my family with and enjoy.

I have also been subjected to a lot of strong chemicals over time though so your mileage may vary.

OR what??? 2 times in the 2 days I made a comment= jokingly. Once In hog forum once here= not 12 or 15 times. I thought we where getting along in the hog forum, having BOTH of our opions share about the Federal Laws about blowing -up hogs. I even agreed with you and moved on. But you all of a sudden get" Sand In Your Vagina" and start with the " For Your Health" vail threats crap! Im sorry if your skin is so very thin, im not a mind reader. People on here make fun off me all the time, I dont let it bother me. I promise you this I will never metion your name again, no matter how many references you make to or about me. If you want to act like a 13 year old girl thats fine with me. But to lie and say you never promote or try to protect hogs is a bald face lie! The fact that you enjoy is fine with me. You started talking about " AHDHA" and your other view on what YOu can and cant do with hogs OWN your property and i never said 1 word. You promote the sport of hog dog hunting, and I have never said one word about that. I only disagree with you on some of the issue you have with hogs NOT be a nusiance. You are entitled to you opinion on hogs as I am on mine. We differ on many opinion about hogs,hog trapping, and so on. But it seams to ME that your the one always Blowing -up and making comments=directly or indirectly about or to me in some manner. LIke i said I will Never,Never,Never mention your name again. Im sorry that your skin is so very thin, I honestly though we where both haveing a good time till you blew -up on me! So you can keep your" For you health comments" , im not going to ever conversate with you again!

Am I missing something, or did someone just threaten physical violence?

God of Hogs doesn't threaten. He unleashes the hogs.

Or the hog dogs...YIKES!

im not going to ever conversate with you again! [/quote]

Can you add me to that list?

add me too

do we have an ignore feature here???

Ha, don't you think it's a little over the top to compare this to PETA? Never said that hogs have rights or that we should compare them to humans. What I am saying is that posting a video of the wasteful killing of wild animals (that do reserve respect as a life form at least) does not do anything good for hunters.

killing hogs is no longer "hunting" for a lot of people - it's pest control/extermination.

do not make the mistake of confusing the 2

Are you setting the trap/sticky pad/poison because you enjoy seeing mice die? Or are you setting them to remove a nuisance and safety/health hazard? When I catch a rat/mouse in my trap I don't sit there and watch it struggle, laughing and posting videos of it on the internet. I put it out of its misery and address why I have a pest problem in the first place. These guys spent a lot of energy setting themselves up to blow up hogs on video. Just as much energy could have been spent finding a person who wanted the meat and setting up a more efficient means of killing the hogs.

My displeasure from the beginning has been with the wasteful killing of these hogs and the image it conveys to non-hunters. It is also about the basic respect that each life, human or otherwise deserves. Is this type of behavior what you want young people to see and think of when they are introduced to hunting? Somewhere right now some young person is watching this video popup on their Facebook feed and immediately writing off becoming a hunter forever.

If it's pest control/extermination than it should be done by the most efficient means possible. These guys are taking joy in death, not joy because they have meat to feed themselves, joy because they are living out some soldier fantasy they've cooked up in their heads.

Hunting/Pest control/extermination is not sadism, do not make the mistake of confusing the two.

No.... Blowing them up is more humane than attempting to shoot them with a bow or gun and make a bad shot... Even with good shots they will run off and die while grasping for their last breath... At least when they're blown into space...they feel nothing ... And the meat...buzzards....yotes..ants.. fly's..maggots... Its the life cycle that keeps the wild going... Everything has to eat...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I never commented about this being in-humane. Making a bad shot is never the intention of the hunter/exterminator, it is an unfortunate circumstance of human error. You do not know what these hogs felt or experienced, you don't know how many were killed and how many were just wounded.

Regarding your view that the meat is not wasted: The wild does not need you to kill for them, they have plenty of options for food. These pigs were killed for the spectacle of seeing them blown to smithereens. How do you feel when you see a buck that has been killed with nothing taken but his antlers? How does that practice look to non-hunters?

My point seems to be missed here:
-Taking delight in death for the sake of death is sadism. I don't like it and I'm not in the minority.
-Labeling sadism as pest control or hunting is bad for whichever camp you find yourself to be a proponent of.

We killing hogs...not people my friend...

contrary to what many may think, animals do not have souls. obviously as hunters why try to be as humane as possible, but mistakes happen. and in the case of hogs, sometimes you just need to kill as many as possible by any means necessary.

at the end of the day, they're just animals and people need to stop projecting human characteristics/emotions/values on them.

they're animals. that's it.

Well..by some people's standards...the animals need attorney's...

myself ,,, if it needs dieing i'll kill it . i've left a lot of animals to nature to take of , one was no more better than the other .

My grandfather, who grew up in the depression, had a saying that I heard hundreds of times: " Willful waste makes woeful want."
That being said, the standing rule as I was growing up was that whatever I killed or caught, I cleaned it. No matter what it was, if it was edible, I cleaned it. If it was something we didn't want or need, we gave it to someone else.

I have the same rule for my boys: catch or kill whatever and however many is legal, but you are gonna clean it.
