955i Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 If you're going to kill it, at least learn to spell it. Can't be doing with this type of trophy hunting I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bi9johnny Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 may i ask was it just a trophy or are they out of control/predators and what did you do with it afterwards dont know how i feel about shooting cats ...i'm no cat lover but it does look a beautiful animal, then again a real good condition fox is a lovely animal ??

Yea I feel the same, but all to their own, if it was legal or a neccessity who are we to judge, I too wouldn't want to shoot any animals that I find particulary endearing.

al4x Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) I've shot one bigger than that here, but it was ginger The simple thing is in the wild they will be as much a pest as they are here and if numbers are sufficient to allow hunting then why not. The big thing to remember is while people pay to hunt them then poaching will be cracked down on, the locals won't try and poison them to stop them taking chickens etc Edited November 9, 2012 by al4x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Lovely looking animal. I am not going to make any rash judgements as I am not too familiar with the animal. Everybody is slightly too quick to jump on the band wagon, yet when they are looking down their scope at a fox they soon squeeze the trigger. BTW I shoot foxes too and I would find most foxes a nicer looking animal than the cat in the picture, so the attractiveness argument is a bit weak.

caeser Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 just checking that i have logged on to pigeonwatch and not mumsnet by mistake. OP ignore all the moaners they watched to much disney as a child. I've got to agree with you. In fact I'm shocked by some peoples attitudes here. Especially coming from people that shoot other animals and birds. To me the cat looks positively evil, and I'm sure it is. Also as Ollie says, there some weak arguments here. Do you not think a pheasant is a beautiful creature, or even a woodpigeon if it comes to that. But we all wouldn't think twice about pulling the trigger when its in front of you. Please , get real. Well done Dan, you've probably saved the lives of quite a few other animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeh Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Well done Dan, you've probably saved the lives of quite a few other animals. Shouldn't we all just shoot ourselves, then? (I'm not pro/anti this picture in anyway, it's just this argument makes no sense to me) Edited November 9, 2012 by Bleeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippy18 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Surely that's what forums are for, so that everyone can have their own opinions. I asked why because everything I was able to find out about them seems to point to the fact they are hunted for their fur and that they tend not to be a problem for livestock. But I was interested in finding out the reason they are hunted and if what I read was wrong then I have learnt something Personally I always think twice before I pull the trigger and certainly never just shoot something for the sake of shooting it and that's just my opinion. Personally I like fox's, but when I have too then I do shoot them. That said I only ever shoot them if I have too and if I don't have too then would rather watch them, and I don't think that makes me some sort of Brain May follower. But that is my opinion which i know not everyone shares. . I don't comment a lot on here but do really think it's a great site with lots of great posts and lots of great helpful members, but just because it's a site about guns and yes about shooting live prey surely that does not mean that everyone has to have the same opinion with out asking or having their own views on it. As I Say if there is a valid reason they are hunted then that's good. Cheers . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ91 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Shouldn't we all just shoot ourselves, then? (I'm not pro/anti this picture in anyway, it's just this argument makes no sense to me) with your argument, we should shoot everything or nothing this could go round in circles, most of what we shoot, we shoot to protect something else, everything eats something and therefore kills it, be it animal or plant, so saying we should shoot ourselves is like saying we should shoot everything Surely that's what forums are for, so that everyone can have their own opinions.

(I'm not pro/anti this picture in anyway, it's just this argument makes no sense to me) Would it help if he wrote it in capitals fella?If i said to my 12 year old boy after shooting a fox,"well thats saved quite a few lives" he would understand without a doubt.Will i get him to explain to you and maybe it might all become clear? Lovely looking animal and well done fella.No more beautiful than a fox or countless other species we shoot but mass PMT does break oot on here now and again.

yds Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Well done Dan, ignore peoples ignorance about hunting big game. Like its been said, ranches run business's and all hunting is goverment sponsored and controlled, much of the money out of state hunters spend helps the poor countries survive and control poaching.
