[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] I do like Jason's suggestion about making better animals, but I still prefer my option of restricting hunters to the use of a sharpish-seeming rock and leaving the forty-foot grizzlies out of it. Just even up the odds. You know? Make it more exciting. I mean think of it. You sneak up on a pheasant with that four-inch long hunk of rock and cut the poor thing's throat? Presto, just like that you're a cold-blooded killer. You have a marketable skill now. You weren't some pussy with a shotgun 50 yards away. You sneaked up on a wild bird and stabbed it to death with a rock. That's not an easy thing to do (I don't think). Or maybe you bury yourself in leaves near the stream and then pop up and kill a deer in single combat with your chunk of rock? There's no telescopic sites, no hollowpoints. There's just you with your collapsed lung now drenched in deer blood. Congratulations, you have earned your venison, you fucking barbarian. In fact, you kill a polar bear (or a rhinoceros or a tiger) with that same hunk of rock and no one could ever deny ever that you are one fucking tough son-of-a-bitch and you have every right to stuff that thing and prop it up in your livingroom, you sick, sick fucking cold-blooded killing bastard. Think of that. Think of how the numbers of avid hunters would change if you actually made hunting difficult or dangerous. Deaths by animal mutilation. Not so much of that these days. What more fitting way to cull the human herd? How many instances of "I didn't think it was loaded" would come up? It's not like pulling a trigger at all. You've got to really want to kill something to kill it with a sharp rock. It'd be great. Hunting could become a respectable past-time again. I mean hunting stories might actually be impressive at that point. "It was him or me" -- you could actually fucking mean that. [/QB][/QUOTE]
