Dear lord what is it that compels goons to form strong opinions on things they don't actually care or know anything about.

"can you eat that much meat by yourself in a year" is not a metric used in determining whether an animal is appropriate game.

And you can absolutely safely and humanely kill a moose with an arrow.

That's a bull moose in the picture, assuming you can kill it what are you going to do with 700 pounds of raw moose? You only eat around half that over an entire year so I hope you and your family enjoy the taste of moose.

Most hunters take their portion of meat, the hide and antlers as well, and then either sell the rest to a butcher, or donate it to a local tribe or local food program.

I won't deny their are lovely hunters out there doing it for their green-peen, but hunters as a whole do a whole fuckin lot for nature conservation efforts. There's no point in hunting something to extinction or destroying its habitats, that just means you won't have anything left to hunt.

...yeah, about that. Deer in these parts were hunted into extinction when hunting wasn't regulated. White-tailed deer had to be reintroduced to the area and then tightly regulated to actually get the population back up. Even non-lovely hunters tend toward a "no drop of rain believes itself responsible for the flood" mentality. I mean, I only killed three deer last year, what's the big deal? Well, everybody else also did and now you've wrecked their population. Oops!

Now all of the local hunters strictly prohibit who can hunt on whatever land they own to basically "me, my dog, and my brother if I decide I like him enough this week" because ALL OF THE DEER ON MY LAND ARE MINE, YOU HEAR ME? MINE! You can sometimes snag a deer on state game lands but, you know, when you have every other hunter there because so much private land is totally closed to everybody else the pickings can be slim.

poo poo has gotten better as most hunters realize that you do have do, you know, not clear cut the forest and not hunt things into extinction to keep those things but there's always that gnawing in the back of their minds of "well...Chuck has more antlers than me so if I just snag an extra one this year..." There'd be way more poaching if there weren't penalties for it.

Where do you live that deer aren’t grossly overpopulated to the point that they starve to death or die to plague? We killed off most of their predators and they don’t seem to have a built in tapering mechanism to their breeding. Most years people get free extra tags for bucks over a certain age.

My step dad bagged a moose once when out for deer when I was a kid. I think we took over two years to finish it. Luckily he was with his doomsday prepper brother who had the gear to get it dressed and packed before anything spoiled.

I thought black bears are more aggressive than grizzlies. Like, if you climb a tree they will climb up with you.

If a black bear wants to attack you, it's either defending cubs or thinks you're a meal. If the latter, if you put up a fight they'll usually give up and go find some berries or something because you're not worth the effort.

Grizzlies either defend cubs, or their territory. If you fight, they consider you a territorial challenger and attack with as much as they have in them. If you pretend to die, they'll saunter off and hopefully not eat you. If in the chance they consider you prey, you're pretty much doomed.

In the case of cub defense, grizzlies are bigger and tougher than black bears, and their attacks are more likely to cause graver injuries.
