I am right in the middle of that culture here in northern Michigan.
Lots of hunters here

Might be "sporting" if the deer could be trained and armed to shoot back...

I don't really have a dog in this fight. I don't hunt. We walked about
5 miles today in the Manistee national forest but we didn't see anyone
shooting or really anything to shoot at. Yesterday we were near
Cadillac in a game preserve near Mitchell SP and the red squirrels
were pretty thick. I doubt the seasons are open here yet. They do
have hunter classes running in a lot of places.

Most of us don't hunt. But, I don't think those who do are 'bad' people for doing so. That's where
the dog in the fight comes in.

It's typical Krause, denigrating those who participate in an activity he doesn't enjoy.

I agree. I looked in on a couple of these classes and these are not
the Yahoos Harry would make them out to be and just finding a deer
that will let you get close enough to shoot them here is going to be
hard work.
This is not the petting zoo we have around our cities. It is rough
terrain and spooked animals. The "hiking trail" we were on was pretty
much wild woods.

My comments about "recreational hunting" have to do with those
participating in it considering it a "sport," albeit a blood sport. If
only the critters could shoot back...
