Yes, please do that. I have muted you and that’s all I can do. Why comment on my personal thread here. Please just ignore me and I’ll do the same.
I could be wrong but I think April was just liking my comment when I said “take what you like leave the rest” on my post. I don’t think there is a need to mute @apes2020
I don’t think she meant any harm towards you or anyone here. April has always been very considerate and fun to have around. And I am glad she is back. I think there is a miss understanding here.

I thought that too when I read April’s post. I think it’s meant in the respect that there’s been some misunderstandings prior here and it gets out of hand. In that respect I believe she meant if you don’t like what you read then move on…

Was that necessary? @siand
I think there was just a misunderstanding and was trying to nicely point it out.

No judgement on what you wrote (or on the other posts that were moved), it just seemed a bit off topic.
Feel free to message @moderators if you want to discuss it further

No worries I’m good. I just hope the miss understanding, if in fact there is one, and I really think there is, can be cleared up and wondering how it can be cleared up over here in void rail yard.
Have a good one

Yes, that is indeed exactly what I meant. The actual context of the quote. And it was in reference to ts in general… I think i was misunderstood and my post was not read in the right context and perceived incorrectly. Thank @anon79808082 @Dazercat that is all. Back to what we do best, being nice

Hey hunting people. I am writing a book and one of the chapters is where this kid tries to hunt a Saber-tooth tiger with a spear. Looking for some inspiration and insight. What would be the best way to kill such a beast? Thanks in advance.

I have a feeling hunting is fairly prevalent in your area?

It is in mine. Hunting is a big deal. From archery, to black powder, to rifle season. There are multiple animals to hunt here. Elk, deer, moose, bison, bear, mountain goat, antelope, mountain lion, turkey, pheasant, ducks, geese…

Not to mention sometimes of vital importance to the overall ecosystem and health of the animals. If people haven’t seen photos of sick and starving deer because of overpopulation, that’s one of the things that can change minds about the value of hunters.

I’m going to assume, probably accurate, though I’ve never hunted a cat with a spear, that it would be very similar to hunting with a bow.
You need to study your prey. Know where the kill zone is located. That way you ensure a clean, quick, kill on the animal. A quick online search shows that the vital area, just like on a lot of big game animals, is right behind the front shoulder.
You would need speed and sharpness to penetrate the area. Plus, Good luck not hitting a rib bone.

Yes, it’s a huge part of the culture here and an important food source for many families. And we are currently in season for deer, moose, turkey, duck, etc.

I am not a fan of hunting but in the UK it is not at all normal (nor is gun ownership). An interesting cultural thing here, hunting is the preserve of the upper classes and that’s mainly because so much land is in private ownership. It is usually associated with blood sport (particularly fox hunting, despite it being illegal it carries on, which plays into the class issue: one rule for them another for the rest of us). Game hunting and hunting for land management does happen, but again on private estates.
Personally I think hunting for meat (done sustainably) is probably much more ethical and environmentally friendly than the majority of farming. And given most meat in the UK is sold as a result of factory farming, I am a vegetarian!
Don’t think there is anything wrong with us exchanging views on the issue, it is perfectly possible to be agreeable even when we disagree

IMO…sustenance hunting is ok. hunting to manage populations is what it is.
rich assholes flying to other countries to get their picture taken with dead elephants and tigers should be sterilized.

I agree. And posting photos with there kills is just wrong. No one wants to see that kind of evil and cruelty.
