is this hunting? (wait and spear)

[chucklenut]

i consider it hunting, but alot of folks dont seem to for whatever reason (i guess cause he is not out chasing them down with a loin cloth on)

I do consider it hunting as well, but more so before modern weapons were invented though. Me personally, I wouldn't have watched it suffer like that. I would have put it down quick with a gun.

"Hunting" unfortunately is a subjective term. Killing a formerly domesticed animal over corn from a tree TO ME, is not 'hunting' (loin cloth or not). But TO ME, neither is taking it in such a inefficient manner. I can't stand coyotes for example but I'd never let one suffer like that or anything I intend to kill. Again, that's me. To native Americans a couple of hundred years ago, killing a pig with a spear over corn, sure, that's probably hunting.

Yea its hunting just killing to me its over bait not a fan of suffering animals no matter how much i hate pigs. In my mind I kind of owe to the animal when hunting to give the quickest most painless death possibly and preferable for it to not even no what happend just lights out then me going YUMMMMMYYYY BACON

and what he said ^^^^^

It's hunting. Just not the way most of us do it. I'd like to see him spear a turkey. Lol

Yeah not a fan of watching the pig suffer he turned what could have been a cool video into a snuff film. That being said here is a actual hunting video using a spear http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oib...outube.com/watch?v=6oibNvAbtpc&has_verified=1

Civilized people take game in the most humane and efficient method at their disposal. To let that animal suffer that way unnecessarily is probably a sign of underlying mental illness. It would be different if he was in a survival situation.

I agree with all post listed post. As much as I love hunting, I would hate to see an animal suffer like that.

It was hunting up till he turned it into a "stuff film" (as Jason said), if you have the means to hunt humanely you are obligated to IMO regardless of the game.
