Why do seemingly "normal" people like to hunt? (48)
No, not cruel. As a responsible hunter, I try to make the best of my shot so the animal suffers as little as possible.
If not for hunters, you would have deer in your vegetable and flower gardens. We help keep the herds at a manageable size. The money we spend on licenses, hunting gear and such, we do it because we know it's going into wildlife conservation.
How many non-hunters do you know who put money into taking care of the wildlife?

Use the arrows with the sharp points, not the ones with the suction cup tips?
I live in an area where there is lots of hunting...deer, moose, bear, birds....fishing too.
Most of the hunters never bag anything. I've seen three deer and one moose taken in this neighborhood this year.
Some just like hunting....going out in the woods with their buddies, going to hunting camp.
The locals usually eat what they kill, especially deer.
Being able to feed your family if the grocery stores close is not a bad skill, I think

I am sure it is in the genes, hunter mentality conveys surviourship.
I dont like hunting for animals, but I like to hunting for bargains at
yard sales, auctions and bankruptcy sales.

When I was growing up every kid over 14 had a rifle that his dad taught him how to use and respect. Many times, if we didn’t hunt, we didn’t eat meat. Every shot had to be fatal because bullets cost money. It's called growing up poor in Mississippi..............
I was raised to believe that if you kill something~You eat it!
Hunting shows & people who hunt for trophy's just piss me off.

It is better that the deer/rabbit whatever, get hunted and eaten rather than hit by cars. Living in Michigan, deer literally litter the highway and the roads getting hit. I would much rather see a deer shot feeding a family, then a deer hit killing one.
they are hungry?
"Normal" is a rather relative term I have found. Perhaps a lot of them simply like to kill things that can't shoot back....I tried it a few times and found no sport in it at all. Left it for only when needed while in the service. Found a better thing to "hunt" animals with: a camera; that takes much more stealth and the animals get to live....
So Hunting ain't quite "Normal" Then.
I used to do quite a bit of Spear Fishing when I lived in the Westindies.
No ,not with a Speargun,they're outlawaed,nope with a simple Hawaiian Sling.
But if you kill it,you eat it.
A Friend here in Zurich does Hunting all over Western and Eastern Europe.The Family name would be familiar to many if I posted it,suffice it to say,he is able to afford it,while I am not.
Hunting here in Europe is a Rich Man's Sport,poor Saps like me can only dream about it.
I couldn't afford the Lease if I tried.
As an aside :That Fellow is a Vegetarian!!!!!

Honestly...I think it comes purely from the hunter and gatherer instinct...where we used to have to hunt to survive...It's obviously something that is more prominant in some vs. others!!!!!!!

BINGO!!!!!! I've lost count of the number of times I've had birds and squirrels sit on a part of me while I'm in full camo on stand during deer archery season. It's a real thrill looking at them close up while trying not to move a muscle
