There ain't alot of wolves here in Florida. Plus, I know about the overpopulation thing from talking to actual hunters.

Not all of them. Many of them do it to feed themselves and their families.

don't want to seem like a di*k lol but I'm sure hunters would make up any excuse to hunt live animals. here in Britain we are going through quite a transition, where hunting was recently banned. it caused quite an uproar from the hunters claiming it was tradition to kill.....

and out of curiosity where do these people live, as they have to hunt their food. do they pick their own fruits and grow their own vegetables?

I would think Alaska would be the only place without grocery stores around, although when i lived in TN there was a guy who shot and ate squirrels.

alaska has plenty of stores they just may not be accessible in winter out in the boonies.

RR85 I do feel bad when the VFTs cattch cute bugs like Pillbugs/rolliepollies and lady bugs. Other then that it's mostly fire ants so I say eat 'em all. Oh and they catch spider which I am not particularly fond of (after picking up a catus in Tx one time and finding a Black Widow on it about 1 mm from my hand. Oh Jeez I was quite scarred).

Oh and I love it when the Neps are big enough to catch roaches. That makes my day. Those creatures are out to kill me. I am not kidding. I was bitten once and after that they attack every chance they get. Fortuantly there is windex adn soap. Soap to wash my body with adn windex to well I'll leave that up to your immagination. like fish in a barrel.

no seriously my friend and i were walking along a backroad and this guy with no shirt stepped out on his porch and asked us if we wanted to stay for dinner. he had a frozen squirrel in his hand and was hoblding it like a popsicle!

we have an ant problem but the big ones make my VFT rot and the little ones won't trip the trigger

Two words: Genetically altered.

You would do this to VFTS of course. Who would not like a VFT that could eat a small dog? I know I would love one.
 
  • #92
that would be pretty cool but i would feed it possums, because i like dogs

Not all parts of this continent are suburban sprawls with everything you'll ever need in the store down the street. Many people live in highly isolated areas where they have to drive 30 miles to the nearest store. And yes, many people grow their own fruits and vegetables.

You'ld need one big tuff VFT for a opossum. Ever seen one that's been cornered? 'nuff to put the fear of God into you and shred anything that isn't steel plated. I had nightmares for a week.

Well, she cooked them and other woodland critters. The whole scenario that HVFT described of her friends reminds me of that family. But I won't mention Deliverance.
