Wait, do I get it right, deer is hunted with bow and arrow, really ? Seriously ? Is this legal in the US ? :eek:
Not only legal, but commonly accepted as a way to put meat on the table in PA. Many many deer hunters in PA. I may even take my brother out to my son in law's woods for some venison in the next few weeks.

Actually, this is a common sight in Pennsylvania (and probably most of the US) this time of year through November and some of December. The hunters do the community a service by maintaining an out of control deer population. There are so many deer, the state needs to control the population. They cause numerous vehicle accidents, and destroy land and crops. If the population goes unchecked, they develop diseases which spread to farmers livestock. Some of my favorite bonding memories with my Dad were getting up in the dark and going out into the fields and woods just at sunrise as the fog was lifting off of the ground. We stepped into my uncle's field one morning and there along the edge of the woods and the corn were a buck and a couple of doe. We both pulled up carefully with our bows and shot. Dad (Vice President of the local archery club) got one. I missed by a mile. But we field dressed it, took it home and then butchered while Mom prepared a feast that evening. We then froze and/or refrigerated the meat and would use it for future meals. We not only had venison, but also pheasant, squirrel, rabbit, turkey and a variety of fish in our freezer.

I`d never argue with anybody, especially friends, about the rights or wrongs of hunting. It`s the norm obviously in the U.S., I just couldn`t do it myself.

Very interesting. Strictly forbidden here in Germany. And you need to take lessons and tests before being allowed to go hunting, also a clean criminal record.
This might also have something to do with our laws regarding the possession of weapons.
Just talked to my colleague who has a licence and he says it's absolutely no problem to hunt with bow and error, unfortunately just forbidden.

I think it's definitely important to hunt for population reasons. Just not my cup of tea. But I'd like to hunt and kill the marten that must live somewhere close to our house. Almost every night he is taking a sh** in my driveaway :mad::D

The air is getting cooler this week. The leaves are starting to turn. It is archery season for deer here in PA. So I thought I'd go a little U.S. this month.

Poaching the Queen's deer might not be a good idea where you live. You might have to don a green hood and live in the woods with your band of merry men. ;)

i have no issue with hunting either per se, as long as it is of use, ie; meat/furs.and i suppose population control

it's the people that go hunting just for the thrill then leave the kill behind, or don't put an animal out of its misery if they only injure it, these people need shot
