Standing in line waiting for burgers at BK yesterday. The young lady waiting on my order to come up noticed I was wearing a camo t shirt. She asked if I was a hunter. I said yes. She told me that she did not like people killing animals and that she thought it was wrong. Before I could say anything she wanted to know why hunters couldn't just shoot the animals with a dart gun instead of killing them. I said see those burgers back there?.....Those were once cows ahhh.... animals. Those cows didn't have a chance they were slaughtered. The animals I hunt have a chance. I left her with food for thought LOL no pun intended.
 
Yea, depending on the person or the location you get varied responses wearing camo.

When in northern Ohio and I go to fast food type places I get strange looks for wearing all camo.
When turkey or deer hunting in Kentucky the past two years and I had camo on, the people at the counter always responded with did you have any luck? Then explaining how they wish they had a chance to get out and hunt that day instead of work.

Excellent response. LOL
 
Actually you're wrong. I have it on good authority that the cows are so depressed because of their life of confinement that they swallow a gallon of sleeping pills to end it all!!! They then become GROUND beef. :neener::D
 
They must have told her during orientation that all the meat comes from magical burger land.
 
The girl's comment wasn't ignorance or anti-gunnery. It was just another rude, little American man-basher being rude to a guy to see if she can make him squirm. The right response would be: "Well aren't you rude?! Of course that's to be expected from someone who has to work a no-brainer job like yours. Where's my order?"

:cool:
 
hahaha B.D. shes in the wrong area for not liking hunters

i cant go to school without seeing atleast 5 camo jackets starting in october lol


my sister is a self proclaimed socialist and shes a gun grabber but even she admits that hunters have a place in managing populations and that atleast the animals that are being hunted have a decent change. .......that and shes the fact that the deer i shoot is organic and shes one of them too
 
Let's be fair. If she didn't know any better, it's good that she asked her questions.

The way BD wrote it, she wasn't rude, just uninformed. She asked a legitimate question to a man who knew the answers. Let her think about it for a while, and eventually she'll see the light.

I think that's a win-win. Good job, BD.
 
According to where you live, some places camo is accepted as the proper dress attire for a red blooded American that is an outdoorsman. Go to the city or a town wearing camo and you can get the strange looks from some of the bleeding heart, anti hunting, anti gun types. Some of those people are uneducated, never got to live life and don't have a clue how things work in this great world. They have their own agenda and want to push it on everyone else. If they don't like how this country boy lives then they go away and live in their little fantasy world.

*spit-take, laughs out loud*

Excellent response, and if it'd been me I'd have offered to buy her a Loaded Steakhouse Burger, or any meat, chicken, or fish dish of her choice to see the look on her face...

(Because, come ON, unless she was desperate for $$$ it's hard to imagine a vegetarian/vegan taking a job at a BURGER joint!)
 
How's this for scary?

I once worked with a woman LEO that did not know that veal came from a calf. After we explained that to her she never ate it again. She really didn't know what veal was, and had no idea it came from an animal. Probably because there's no animal called a veal. And I truly wish I was making that up, but I'm not.
 
Yeah, maybe she knows something we don't. She decided she wasn't a hypocrite to work there when she found out the burgers are really just cardboard pieces and A-1 steak sauce mixed together. They taste mighty good though - why, I just had an "Indiana Double Whopper" last evening and it was great.

ArmedBear - she's in for a long fast - good one. :D
 
If you hear the "How can you shoot Bambi ???" from someone who is a.) sincere in their question, and, b.) someone you need or want to remain on good terms with - educating them to the alternatives to "sudden death by hunter" that deer have usually brings them around at least to - "Ok, you can shoot them but I couldn't". Too often today's non-hunters have given no thought to how deer actually die if not hunted. They just don't realize that Bambi doesn't ride grently up to Heaven on a soft, velvet cloud when his/her time comes. Reality is that Bambi has to look forward to...

Being killed slowly by starvation - as happens with all old deer, many deer in overcrowded conditions, and many fawns if the Winter hangs on.

Being consumed gradually and painfully by chronic wasting disease or any of several parasites.

Being pulled down by farm dogs or coyotes and having the eating process begin before the dying is complete.

Being splattered on the road.

Pointing out that the life expectancy of an unhunted deer in the wild is only a few years helps too. Some people think the deer they see today are the same deer they saw back in 1980.


:cool:
 
I had a photo girl at CVS refuse to print my hunting pictures. I discovered it when I picked them up. I had a lot of good negatives, but she only printed the "landscape" photos. I had to call manager and raise hell. I do not frequent that establishment anymore.
 
We shoot any and every deer where I hunt; because the area is getting developed and they are losing their habitat and running out into traffic and causing property damage and injuring people. Is usually what I tell people.
 
This thread triggerred a memory:

About 15 years ago, my friend and I were taking a break for lunch after deer hunting all morning. We drove back out to the interstate hwy to the little town near the exit that leads to the remote area we were hunting. There was an old-time grocery store just off the interstate where you could get a great old fashioned burger. While eating outside next to our truck, a girl who was definitely not a local came up to us and asked if we were hunters (she saw our camo clothes). From her accent it became apparent she was from somewhere overseas (sorry it's been 15 years and I can't remember where exactly she was from). She asked to see our guns and seemed to be very interested and quite impressed. She told us where she was from, they couldn't own guns. She asked if we would pose for pictures, with our guns, and we did. She was not anti in the least, but this thread brought back the memory...maybe it was the burger connection.
 
Did you know Burger King only slaughters animals that have chosen suicide?

I assume that you're joking. It is well known that the meat in Burger King hamburgers comes from the excess poundage of volunteer cows who are dieting. Those cows are called "Burger Queens" and they hang out in beautiful resorts on both coasts while little people take care of their calves and vote as instructed.
