seems to me there are more holes in this discussion (on either side) than were ever put into the stag .... won't stop it coming round again though, will it?

Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
might be more interesting if the wasp was the size of a stag. I'd pay good money to see that!!!
Yeah, just what I was thinking - both sides of this discussion seem to have missed the point entirely.
That's why I don't like getting into these discussions - I feel alienated from both sides because both sides contain sanctimonious and self-righteous know-alls. And it's hard to agree with those kinds of people, even when you agree with them.
Consider me out.
Yup. Something like 350,000 deer are culled each year without anybody getting upset about it.
Thought we should have a picture in this thread of the magnificent beast he was...
For scale, if we say his antlers are about 3ft, a 6ft man would be pretty much looking eye-to-eye with him in suppose
Picture from this article...

Don't have a major problem with it myself, however perhaps he should have been allowed to finish this years rut? (Having said that I'm no expert in deer management / husbandry)

I can't really see any evidence in the article that the 'Emperor' was actually shot, no photo evidence just that someone heard some shots in the area the stag had been sighted.
Sounds a bit shady to me.

P'raps he put a contract out on one of his younger rivals, and is laying low 'til the heat dies down? 
Thats not him, its a lookalike, he has twelve and rotates them through the year on a bi weekly basis, the man hiss self is livin it up down in Acopulco, its true a "wildlife expert" heard two shots, then when he went to investingate he saw the king of deers standing over a sika who knew to much!! beware the sika the snitch of the deer world,
i am a animal lover as you can probably tell and have put some points across in an extreme way. if i feel strongly about something i will say so
i have every right to do this as its my opinion, im not trying to purposely offend people so i apologies if i have
but i stand by what i say
its not the death of an animal that is a problem its that someone is purposely going out there to kill something for fun, that why i refered to them being like a serial killer, being sick and twisted etc
to go around killing animals for fun is exactly what a serial killer does and humans are still animals ( highly educated ones but we are still part of the animal kingdom)
and the sick bit was because we have highly developed brains and we've been educated enough ( more than an animal, say a cat for example) to know that that killing things for fun is cruel and uncalled for
i have no problem someone killing for food as long as you do it respectfully and humanely
age has nothing to do with someone's opinion
all this is my opinion and even if you think im talking [edited for language],unrealistic, hypocrite etc etc i couldn't give a [edited for language]
i am now done with this subject and this forum
goodbye
:sadwavey:

I was curious is all. However since you've brought it up, yes it does. That's why under-18s aren't allowed to vote. I'm going to guess... 14.
Says it all really doesn't it.
I suspect we'll hear from you again, probably under a different alias.

correct me if i'm wrong but isnt venison a very lean and healthy meat to eat? i managed to get some off my g/f's mum who works for the occado staff shop, i've never had it before and it was fantastic stuff! shame about the price tag though
Mmmmm, we're environmentalists...
As soon as these topics come up, the facists reveal their black and white colours.
But I will say there are few groups on earth more full of [edited for language] than the hunting lobby
lets all hug trees and mate with bears.
