I actually travel only through Eastern Wyoming. Based on my informal survey, I see more cattle, but maybe the sheep are hiding? I think I see as many Antelope as sheep.

YES!

I wish I was a hunter.....I'd be happy just to have time to fish

[TKDLady]

I don't hunt either but all my brothers did and my dad did. I loved the result but don't think I could have ever killed an animal. Oh well. I did do a lot of fishing when I was a kid and my dad was alive. I loved it and wish I would have taken my own kids out fishing but I can't handle the way they fish here in Florida. I would prefer lakes and cooler weather. Plus my husband didn't fish and didn't see a need to buy the poles and stuff. Something I really regret.

I tried last year with miserable results....this year, since Andrew's been in the hospital, I've had to return home every weekend, whereas otherwise I'd stay in Wyoming and camp/fish (hopefully with better results).

I've hunted a little, but I always regret the kill, and REALLY regret it when I must gut/skin/butcher. What a hassle. I'd rather just buy a nice steak.

My whole family hunts and so does Squish's dad & family. (they travel all over to hunt)

I've never been b/c I couldn't sit quiet and still long enough


I imagine Squish will be out there in a few years. His grandfather is amazing w/a bow. He has bear trophies that he shot w/just a bow. Amazes me. Seems more fair to me that way though.

yuck yuck on killing bears and other creatures!

[Fayebelle]

^ When did YOU turn vegetarian again madame?

[BridgieBridge]

I did'nt i ate steak tonight.

I just don't like thinking about cow's chickens or pigs becoming food. They are the only creatures we should kill and again i'm just gonna turn my head and pretend i don't know about it.

No killing wolves or polar bears thats for sure, so REMEMBER that!

Don't forget fish and crabs and lobsters and....

I am not a fan of hunting at all. But if you can best an animal with a bow then you are highly skilled.

Other than animal population control I don't see much reason to hunt though.

Do you feel the same about fishing? Why? / Why not?

[Vautrin]

I feel the same about fishing.

Anything more advanced than a basic fishing rod kills the sport. At the rate we are fishing (huge nets) , all kinds of fish will be extinct soon.
