Repugnant Hunters
I, against my will, have to listen to your station at least 2 to 4 times a week. I hate today's "country" music; it is just stupid. With that said, I don't think you realize (or you don't care) how many people you offend by bragging about shooting down a defenseless animal. Then you brag about putting it's head on your wall, like it makes you some kind of big man.
You might be a true patriot if the deer was armed with a 12 or 16 ga shotgun and able to return fire. What you do IS NOT a sport, it is killing animals for NO good reason. Before you think I am some left liberal loon, I am not. I am a conservative and have been all my life. I was also raised on a farm so I am not a no nothing city girl. I guess if you just have to gun down innocent animals, then have the decency to discontinue bragging about it and just keep it to yourself. Some of US forced listeners find it repugnant.
Pam

Pam, you're not gonna be very happy with my response to your email, but you're already mad at me, and think me repugnant. So, what have I got to lose?
The really wonderful thing that remains true about our country, darlin', is our ability to hold different opinions, and still accurately consider ourselves patriotic Americans.
What ever you do, honey, never visit the Trophy page of mobyinthemorning.com There's a whole slew of what you'd call repugnant people there. Personally, I call them good ol' boys & girls that, like me, enjoy watching the world come alive at the beginning of the day, and return to rest at sunset, with hope that an animal we want to harvest has the misfortune to come within range.
When I see a White Tail with a weapon of any sort, sugar, and can document it, that'll be the day I'll retire. I'd sell that story to an outdoor magazine.
There'd be some big money there for sure. I'm fairly certain the deer would be a hardened criminal, because where would he get the money to buy a gun?
We could only assume he stole that gun he possessed, and take appropriate action, as we would with any fleeing felon. I can show you the receipt for my guns. When Bambi can do that, I'll let him &His grandpa walk away undeterred. But a good number of his close relatives would still be toast.
Pam, unless you're a Vegan or devout vegetarian, you have to know that in the pen on that farm where you were raised, all the little piggies or moo cows died.
In the woods, hunters see many more deer than they ever take a shot at. That's simply management of the herd.
And Pam, the deer (or whatever game is being pursued) don't die for nothing. There's more venison in my freezer than there ever is beef. We eat it several times a week, and most of it came from white tail deer whose heads weren't put on my wall. That space is reserved for trophies. I know you wouldn't come, but I'd like to invite you for Venison Cube Steak, or my Venison meatloaf, or any of the wide variety of dishes that without the Great American White Tail deer, we'd have to slaughter cattle for.
Pam, whether you agree or not, hunting is a wise, skilled, & traditional effort of the very people that won folks like you & me our right to disagree.
You hope I don't get a wallhanger this season, and I'll hope I do.
In all odds, given my history, at the end of the season, you'll have the last laugh.
But you can bet I'll be back in the woods next season, and I'll still be sharing hunting stories with the radio family. Yep, I'm hopelessly and unrepentantly repugnant.
The trophy buck in my front yard Sunday afternoon, is still in the neighborhood, and I hope he doesn't make a victim of someone you & I love on the highway.
That's where most of them are killed, you know. Ohh, those shameless, and repugnant drivers.
You still mad? I thought so.
Yeah baby, MOBY

Re: Repugnant Hunters
Dear Moby: If the wild animals were not hunted then we would be the ones in trouble. Their population would take over. My boyfriend hit his 12th deer a couple of weeks ago and caused $2000.00 worth of damage just to get his truck running again. Gardens, for some, are almost extinct due to deer. I couldn't imagine the disease from excess rotten animals because they would have to kill each other to survive. It's called the cycle of life.
Farm animals are far less fortunate than the wild animals. As mentioned, people know caged animals on farms are going to be raised and put to death. It's funny how most people don't have a problem eating them! In my opinion it is a worst setup. Hunting, just as target shooting and archery, is a sport. Hunting requires learning skills and concertration. It is taken serious by those who are involved. I, myself enjoy hunting. I have never gotten a shot in but I love the sport. My youngest daughter also has the 'bug' for hunting. I have seen bonding between father and son hunting that has been carried to the next generation. I also believe hunting and fishing is dying with our younger generation and this saddens me.
As far as the trophy on the wall-well it's a 'huntin thang' and some people just don't get it. Thanks for sticking up for the hunters Moby.

Re: Repugnant Hunters
Dear Moby: They need to think how cruel it would be for the deer if they aren't managed by hunting. The competition for the food they eat would lead to starvation and disease. Which to me is a much worse death than by a hunter. Myself, like most hunters will not take the shot if we can't make it a good one. I have fond memories of hunting with my Grandfather and my Father while they were still alive. My husband wasn't big on deer hunting until he met me and then he had to go to be able to spend some time with me during hunting season. I am making memories with my own son and daughters now. I wouldn't trade a one of those memories for all the money in the world. Yeah Baby.

Re: Repugnant Hunters
Dear Moby,
I was shocked as I read today's small town soap box (sorry I missed it this morning on the radio). This lady wouldn't have survived in the old days as my grandpa used to say. You know I'm 26 years old and if I had to I could live totaly off the land, notice I said if I had too. I wonder since she grew up on a farm has she ever chopped a chicken's head off and plucked its feathers for Sunday supper, I'm guessing not she might break a nail. My grandparents rasied me so I was taught the old way. In the summer you grow a big garden and store it for the winter. Come fall you hit the woods to fill the freezer with meat. I was 8 when I got my first gun. I've already talked to Santa and my 8 year old daughter will be getting her first gun for Christmas. Hopefully by the end of deer season she will have her pic on your trophy page. I love to hunt and fish, I'm better at fishing then hunting. You don't have to be quiet to fish, lol. Like you said the family that takes their kid hunting wont be hunting thier kid. Yeah Baby!

Re: Repugnant Hunters
I'm so sick and tired of people telling everyone of THEIR views on what we should and shouldn't be doing in our lives. I was raised with my father hunting rabbits. We ate what he caught. We fished and ate what we caught. My two sons were raised hunting, we ate what they caught. They were raised on a farm where we had cattle, hogs and chickens. We grew and ate the best! Our freezers were full. These people, wherever they came from or however they grew up, please, if it doesn't personally affect you, don't tell me what, when or how to do it. Moby, keep up the hunting and if you see that trophy that would look good on your wall....go for it. If not you, the next one will. I don't know why this woman has to "endure" listening to your radio stations each morning...get a set of earplugs for gosh sakes. But then that rubber they were made of "lived and breathed" as a rubber tree and she might take offence to that also. PULEASE!!!!!
