studlee Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hi people my name is Lee, I live in the city and have done all my natural life. My family and everyone i know also live in the city centre of Hull. A few years ago a bought a £100 rifle (not to sure what it was) and i did a bit of target practice and then sold it on. Now at the tender age of 21 i have bought another rifle but this time with a great intention of taking this seriously . Its a cheap £20 rife from our car boot. I now know this is a B2 (chinese rip off) and could not take down a tin can ha . OK OK enough of going around the houses. I have had a look at buying a BSA lightning XL which i WILL be purchasing BUT............................................My girlfriends dad said he would not like to come hunting with me because as he thinks that it is not right to shoot live quarry. I made some of the points why i think shooting vermin is ok and he made his points (to which some was valid) on why its wrong I know shooting rabbits and woodies to eat would be a purpose behind it but shooting for a sport IS THAT RIGHT OR WRONG! Sorry for the somewhat confussed ramble but just thought you knowledgeable guys would help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the somewhat confussed ramble but just thought you knowledgeable guys would help Ok so perhaps you would like to set the ball rolling by telling us what your argument would be for shooting, and the difference, as you see it, between shooting vermin as opposed to other living creatures. At what age did your family take you to see Watership Down? Do you like to watch war films? and finally how old is your girlfriend?

codling99 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 get out and find some land mate,once youve shot and ate ya first pigeon or rabbit you be hooked,shooting as the same as fishing aint everyones cup of tea,just got to try it and see if you like it,when you got to gut and prepare your kill ,thats when you ll know if its you or not.personally i dont eat a great deal of what i kill anymore but try not to waste what i kill,dogs ,ferrets and friends get most now,and usually only a few pigeons get wasted now a days.

tinbum71 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Is girlfriends father a veggie? If so, he may be hard to convince. Try the free-range, natural food angle. If he is the usual dumb*** "porkpie from an east european concentration camp for tortured pigs" eater, then forget it. There is no reasoning with these idiots! Shooting a rabbit and eating it is cruel. Buying cheap chickens from Tesco is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 studlee, What were his reasons against shooting? My first argument when someone says they are against hunting (morally against shooting animals) is to ask if they eat meat. As tinbum said, to eat meat you must kill animals. The more that I take from the field the less that need to be farmed in inhumane conditions. Suffering arguments often follow. Crop damage is a good argument if they garden or have had pest problems in the past. thanks rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattslaptop247 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I live 20 miles from Hull, why no try and take him clay shooting, see if thie will persuade him. All the clubs will hire you a gun and equipment for about £5 a session, clays are about £5 for 25 and a box of carts might set you bck £4 or so. There's Monkton at Newbald, East Yorks Gun Club at Cherry Burton and a spot at Brandsburton too. Guarantee it he'll be hooked and then it just a small step to change his mind!
