Still Waters Posted November 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2014 It looks like it just walked out of a fairy tale, but this deer with a single, unicorn-like antler is the real thing. http://news.national...cience-animals/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think that particular roe wasn’t eaten? Probably ended up in a stew, since it was an older animal. (I didn't read the article, maybe they'll stuff it, if it was that old and... unique.) Hunters in this part of the world spend more time actually helping and protecting wild life than killing it. I don’t hunt, but I appreciate an actual hunter more than moral verticals who never set foot in an actual forest. Actual hunters bring water for wild life in dry summers, food in snowy winters, they often risk their own health when rescuing wild animals from various wells (happens a lot in this karst terrain) etc. The only thing I hold against them is selling right to shoot an animal, but I understand they must finance their activities somehow.

Atuke Posted November 17, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) WHY WAS IT KILLED??!! What imbecile thought it was a good idea to hunt and kill the deer. And btw, it's not hunting, it's killing. If the "Hunter" used his own bare hands or perhaps a rock and stalked it and taken its life for sustenance use, then he gets a pass. But to use a rifle with a bullet traveling at 3,000mph and covered in camo and deer *snip* isn't hunting. It puts the animal at an extreme disadvantage, especially an older animal or a unique one like this. This really *snip* me off. The animal was fine, let it be for Christs sake!

Helen of Annoy Posted November 17, 2014 #8 Share Posted November 17, 2014 WHY WAS IT KILLED??!! BECAUSE IT WAS OLD. The older you get, the less teeth you have. Of course, if slowly starving sounds better than dropping dead suddenly is a matter of personal taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think that particular roe wasn’t eaten? Probably ended up in a stew, since it was an older animal. (I didn't read the article, maybe they'll stuff it, if it was that old and... unique.) . quite simple Helen. I read the article. . the animal in question wasn't killed- it was culled. . there is a difference. . phonetically. not so much. . philosophicurly? more so. . Hunters in this part of the world spend more time actually helping and protecting wild life than killing it. . which part of the world would that be? hm? Helen? . I don’t hunt, . that much is obvious. . but I appreciate an actual hunter more than moral verticals who never set foot in an actual forest. . you have known neither. i'm an Irishman brought up in Yorkshire. i've spent a good amount of time hunting stuff- I had ferrets as pets, and have lost a kidney, a big bit of my pancreas, and some of my spleen to a hunting accident, involving a Webley .303 bolt action rifle, a dog named Sue, and a window you couldn't climb out of. so. please. less of this 'never been in a fekk',n field before ****e eh? .

Helen of Annoy Posted November 17, 2014 #11 Share Posted November 17, 2014 You've messed up the quoting there. But I see it must be old hunting accident related So... can't wait for you to hit carousel, "Helen". Aren’t you precious. quite simple Helen. I read the article. . the animal in question wasn't killed- it was culled. . there is a difference. . phonetically. not so much. . philosophicurly? more so. . Philosophicurly, I like roes. I don’t like sanctimoniousness. which part of the world would that be? hm? Helen? . Grab a map. Find Slovenia. There’s Croatia right next to it. That part. that much is obvious. you have known neither. i'm an Irishman brought up in Yorkshire. i've spent a good amount of time hunting stuff- I had ferrets as pets, and have lost a kidney, a big bit of my pancreas, and some of my spleen to a hunting accident, involving a Webley .303 bolt action rifle, a dog named Sue, and a window you couldn't climb out of. so. please. less of this 'never been in a fekk',n field before ****e eh? Tell me more about myself I’m sorry about your instant karma. Really. yeah. like you see on tv. Nope, that’s what I see in my forest. I hike whenever I can and we meet a lot of hunters and see a lot of their work, water and food they leave neatly. A cynic would say, so that wild life develops a habit of coming to these spots so they can off them, but I’m not that cynical today. . no s**t?? . there's billions of Humans- would I have to buy a ticket from you before I shot one? . ******* seems that way.

Ralaman Posted November 17, 2014 #16 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Dont worry. I am sure some "sportsman" will crawl up a tree and shot the animal from 100 yards away and then go re-live his harrowing experience to his beer-drinking companions while listening to Chesney. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
