Are Buckpoles Ethical & Moral?

Post by Deleted User 4520 » Sat Nov 14, 2020 11:16 am

The other day I was thinking about this but is it ethical or moral to hang up dead animals for public display? I did a Google search but I really didn't see anything on the subject. It just seems like a morbid thing to do. What do you guys think on this subject? I'm not a hunter so I'm somewhat biased on the matter.

Not a hunter either. But I have a son-in-law who is....bow hunts deer.
I would never stop and stare at a buck pole but as far as ethical or moral I'm OK with it since I eat dead cows, pigs, fish, chickens, turkeys etc. And fair to say those deer probably had a better life than the meat I consume right up to the point of death.

I have no issue with it. Jesus ate lamb, which is also vegetarian-fed 4-legged animal.

Also: "Venison is the meat of deer, which is a kosher species. Provided that it was slaughtered, salted, and deveined according to Jewish law, it would be kosher."

Don't get me wrong, I as well enjoy meat. But the buckpole thing kinda bothers me though. And I agree they probably had a better life than the meat we get from the store.

Deer are a menace to road travel. I'd rather see it on pole and used for food than it as a temporary hood ornament.

I suppose hunting, for food, is ethical. Hunting for sport is disgusting.


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

I don't have a problem with it. The more important issue is the "shooting fish in a barrel"/big game trophy kills. Lots of VERY endangered animals killed for no purpose.

Now, you want to thin the herd of wolves/coyotes like the DNR did up north a few years ago, I am totally fine with that.

Considering the order of what came first shouldn’t that read that roads are a menace to deer travel?

I'm not real familiar with it. But I think hanging the deer like that for a few hours (maybe even 12 hours or more) is part of processing. It has to drain or something or the meat won't be good. But like I said, I'm not any expert on it.

:barf

First, Wolves don't travel or live in "herds" that need to be thinned. Wolves are glorious creatures that live and travel in a pack with rules and regulations. I've lived with two of them.

Maybe we should thin the gaggle of gobblers that live in Ferndale.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

I meant pack.

And as far as thinning the "gobblers".... >:

Sorry, but I like wolves much more. Plus, you never have to worry about someone stealing an election in a wolf pack.

Are you seriously buying that crap about your election being stolen? There is zero evidence.

You're a good guy, but that's pathetic.
