Hear me out…. What impact has the hunter gatherer had on society? Is this nomadic sort of lifestyle to be admired or admonished? It seems to me that hunters and their like are extremely resourceful. They are able to literally harvest meat.Yes but what about the hunter who also butchers their own kills when compared to a hunter who pays the butcher and exploits their services for capital?The hunter who harnesses technology and modern convenience and comfort seems to not be considered a “real hunter” in the eyes of others (both hunters and fairies alike). This sort of pejorative of being a real hunter reminds me of the “not real communism” argument.Where do we draw the line as far as being a “real hunter” goes? Do they need to kill with a spear and walk barefoot in a loincloth in order to gain respect? Do they need to master using calls, scents, and other forms of camouflage? Do they need to use a drone to fly above the area they are hunting to spot their prey? Should they perhaps “stalk” their prey? Is fishing the same? Should fishermen have to only use live bait? Perhaps a fisherman should spear their fish? Is a loincloth required in this situation as well?Where do you draw the line from the micro of simplicity to the macro of comfort and convenience?I would venture to guess that the true hunter is one who has the cleanest kill and least amount of waste. Picrel is my deer blind. It’s very cozy.
>>522576191What in the looney toons is going on with your rifle barrel?
>>522576356Burlap mesh fabric. zoom in. It’s lined up with barrel
>>522576356But please answer my original postulation.
>>522576191It caused people to collect stamps and beer bottles and other stupid shit.
>>522576660What does that even mean??
>>522576191Why aren’t you out doing this?
I haven't bought government meat in over 6 years since I used my autism to learn to hunt. I get whatever tag I can get, usually archery or rifle, and use my autistic powers to e-scout and find spots where game could be.I also learned to call elk which makes the hunt much more fun.I butcher my own meat, and even built my own meat locker for ageing. Figuring out all of the cuts, ways to cook each out, and recipes I like really tickles my autism.These rednecks that have hunted all of their lives aren't the same. They just do what their daddy did and hunt spots their daddy did. They're not advancing or learning. They don't understand that hunting should be their sole source of food and not an adventure they go on every few years when they draw a tag and reminisce about their daddies. They don't even experiment with meat and always do the same recipes that their daddies did.If you can't hunt your own meat are you really a man capable of providing for your family? You're dependent on the government to put food on the table. You're literally cucking to the government.
>>522576191Imagine needing all those faggot gadgets to go hunting consoomer retards ruin everythingHey reddit checkout my le epic setup
>>522576953Just an answer to>What impact has the hunter gatherer had on society?Such collection tendencies stem from that time, just warped, since gathering is no longer necessary, and so the instinct sort of mills about pointlessly or trivially. It's also a reason why people can find satisfaction in tedious busywork like stacking wood.
>>522578453Just admit you’re uneducated and primal. It’s ok. Not everyone can actually hunt.
>>522579175Collecting stamps and collecting meat for consumption isn’t exactly the same thing? Right?
Is there really any sport in using all this gear to hunt? It's like going jogging on a motorcycle.
>>522576191Wow so trad, I'm sure it must be tiring when all you have is a packed lunch, an oil stove and an elk seeking missile to work with.
>>522579727Did you even read the fucking post or just look at the picture?
>>522579727It's not hunting, it's harvesting. I do it as well because the meat is good, organic venison. Wife, son and I all love it.In Texas, you don't need to "draw tags". You own land and harvest on it or you pay for a lease to do so. Public land is worthless.
>>522579865I don’t elk hunt. I hunt my own land. I don’t wander around like a fuckin bum on public land
>>522579938My nigga…
The only guy I know who regularly deer hunts is gen x and an obsessive compulsive liar he does every single deer hunter a disservice by partaking in it and I hope he isnt a representation of the wider community. This guy lies so much that his own employer doesnt believe he even hunts deer but I know that much is true.
>>522578453>a stand>a heater>a tripod>a tablet>and a seatReally the only unneeded gadget is the tablet but everything else is fairly normal to find in a stand. Maybe the backpack is full of nonsense but since its in the backpack you cant tell. What do you usually use when sitting in a stand?
>>522580188He sounds like a total cunt, mate.
>>522576191this is fucking GAYsitting in $300 tent to shoot deer LOLyou don't need to hunt anymore and therefore it is purely performative and needless
>>522576191Tagged out by nov 12th, decent buck, 4x4 elk
>>522578453I sat in the woods yesterday wearing blue jeans and a brown jacket and a fat plump doe walked right past me. Felt sorry for her. She was so happy and plump. I was hoping a big horny buck would come out after her. Maybe I need a $500 dollar Sherpa coat to entice those big boys out of hiding.
>>522576191>harvest meatthis is the gayest, most retarded saying.
>>522576191Hunting is based. But I wonder, why do you go hunting when you are not physically fit for hunting?All these plastik toys of yours, what for? Again, hunting is great, but you have no right to hunt and to take lifes when you are a weakling.
>>522580284The tablet is just something to pass the time. I don’t go out of the blind from sun up to sun down. My son has killed many deer and he will teach his sons. If this offends anyone, they can go fuck themselves.
>>522580409You didn’t read the post. Just looked at photo and made primitive reactionary comment: many such cases.
>>522580436Congrats, maple man. I can’t wait to go elk hunting. I’ve only hunted turkey and whitetail.
>>522580848This is a faggot’s perspective. Where we hunt, it typically blows ice and snow. This year has been a pleasant change. Hunting isn’t purely about hurting yourself by enduring the cold or rugged terrain. That’s just a romanticized and faggy mindset.
>>522580750Your father failed you. Nothing else to say.
>>522576191I got a bull moose, cow elk, 3 white tails and one mule deer.
>>522581170Pics or it didn’t happen
Came back today, empty handed but refreshed. Spending time in the great outdoors with family is based. Im shitting on my toilet instead of the outhouse and about to take my first shower in 10 days. That part kinda sucks but still overall 9/10 rating can’t wait for next year.
>>522581503Beautiful, my brother. Yea my youngest slammed a 12 pointer this year. I’d post pics but they could get back traced to the mainframe.
>>522577937Your government sells you meat?
>>522580931Im neutral on the tablet, sometimes I dick around on my phone but I probably shouldnt so whatever.I mostly dont understand the complaints of plastic toys and consumerism. Everything in your stand looks normal to find in a stand outside maybe the tablet and maybe the heater, but that might just be because Im from a place that doesnt get cold.>>522580848I can run a 5k in under 20 minutes and bench 2pl8 am I allowed to use a rifle to hunt from my stand now abdul?
>>522581218You didn’t ask anyone else for pics, between rifle and bow I can get lots of animals, and even more if I don’t worry about tags. You’re just fat faggot who eats bananas because of the shape.
>>522576191>that barrelWTF
>>522576191>name fagI hope you kill yourself. You deserve to be raped and murdered. Youre a piece of shit. Absolute scum
>>522582550Your claim is a bit more sensational than others. I apologize
>>522582686Zoom in. Fuckin idiot.
>>522582777Waste of trips.
Nice 9 point here.
>>522583159Kill yourself
>>522582777There are so many self important egotistical retards that come to this site thinking they are hot shit. "I am the hunter bro bro I am so cool I am going to name myself look how cool I am with my fucked up barrel bro i'm Hunter Bro!"
>>522581785Nothing wrong with all that stuff and its actually probably needed with a toddler in the blind since they fidget around so much. Myself, I can go sit still in the woods wearing regular clothes and have deer come within 20 yrds of me without knowing I am there. Its all about wind direction and being as silent and still as possible. Camo helps breakup siloette and nothing more. Deer cant see for shit. They only notice things that stand out on the horizon and movement, soumd or scent.
>>522577937You have a meme flag, but reference your country/state, so none of what you said makes sense.
>>522583377You’re so fucking mad. And I love it. You didn’t even read the OP. You sad faggot.
>>522580556They don't get big by taking unnecessary risks. He knew you were there because he could smell you a mile away.
>>522583661oh my god is it......oh my god Hunter Bro replied to me. Guys Hunter Bro replied wow I can't handle having someone famous reply to me
>>522578453When we go roo shooting we just grab the 308, a box or two of rounds, jump in the ute, drive to the watering hole and give skip a new breathing hole. You American pussies with your tents and sniper rifle tripods, heaters, blankets, ipad, etc
>>522576191you are fucking gay
>>522583691I was upwind. Why didnt the doe flee? I suspect there was no buck in the bedding area. Its all about wind direction and cover. You dont need a blind or tree stand. They just make it a little easier. I prefer to still hunt on the ground or stalk.
>>522583762The faggot doesn't represent us all don't get that confused. My dad would track venison with me all the time and not hide in a Walmart "hunting man cave"
>>522583762Whitetail deer are very skiddish. They can smell and hear extremely well. Also in most of North American east you are lucky to get a shot of more than 30yrds due to the cover where big bucks hide during hunting season. Out weat its different.
>>522583972Relax, I'm only trying to rustle the jimmies of hunter bro who made this post, some larping retard waiting for civilisation to collapse so he can be the king of I told you so.
>>522583972There isnt anything wrong with blinds though. Its an age old technique. Makes it a bit more comfortable and easier to cover scent. I just hate lugging them around. Since they weigh about 50 lbs. Stalking and still hunting is difficult for big bucks on the east coast. They arent like Mule Deer
>>522576191>muh heated seat padsget a load of this faggot
>>522584137He's such a douche that he didn't think his ID would be enough and he needed a name. He was sitting there for 5 minutes thinking "what cool name can I give myself? Hunter Master. King of all Hunters? Oh wait! I got it! Hunter Bro! Yea wait till the boys at /pol/ get a load of Hunter Bro and my fucked up gun barrel!"
