Is hunting for sport a sadistic practice?

I'mI don't see any reason why its bad so long as you eat or use what you kill. Hunting only for trophies is fucked up in my opinion.

Hunting is kinda corny. It's not impressive to kill a stupid animal with a high powered weapon. I wouldn't call a sport hunter sadistic, just a cornball who needs to feel empowered.

This is basically my opinion, too. And I'm a right-wing NRA terrorist, meaning it's the most extreme opinion.

It's amazing how many people can't hit the broad side of a barn with a rifle with an optic on it. It is actually a skill that takes practice. And most game animals are more cunning than you might think. Every hunter has "the one that got away" stories.
It's not an epic quest or anything, but there's room for a certain amount of satisfaction in a job well done.
That said, I have no use for sport hunters in general. If you really need to sport hunt and don't want the meat yourself, arrange ahead of time to give the carcass to a friend who would like it, or a food kitchen, or a local tribal village if you're big game hunting in Africa, or whatever. Don't let the animal go to waste. I've thankfully never stumbled on a corpse in the woods with it's head or antlers cut off and the body left to rot, but I've heard of it.
"Life is sacred".
I would have cut it off there. Life might be sacred, but if you believe that, it's a religious position. Which I can respect, but the life of a carrot is as much a miracle from God or whomever as the life of a deer. Sacred doesn't mean sacrosanct, it means to be part of a divine work. The propagation of life comes at the cost of other life - this, too, must be sacred, or else nothing can exist.

It's not about being "impressive", or badass or anything like that for me to be honest. It's really not even about the kill itself.
The sense of pride you get isn't from the simple act of ending an animals life and feeling like a badass, not at all. it's from an appreciation for the work put in, the time spent, and the things seen and experienced along the way, it's very much a journey over destination kind of passion, and alot of people dont appreciate that.
It's appreciation for the miles hiked in, the hours spent in a tree during rain and blizzards, the animals you weren't pursuing that you got to just watch doing their thing undisturbed all day long.
On your 20th outing of the season when legal days are almost gone, when everything finally comes together, and you finally make your shot and get to fill your freezer, its natural to feel proud of yourself. And no it's not in some dick swinging I'm a killer badass way.

Who kills somethin and don't eat the meat? Wadafuck are ya, a fucking vegetarian hunter or something? Some lazy death fat? If you a lazy death fat, you have a guide, who will haul the meat out for ya and gladly take it off your hands.
If something gets shot, someone's gunna eat that meat. Even the coyotes if you just leave that shit out. And then you have a coyote problem and you shoot the coyotes.
It seems to me to be impossible to have problems with hunting. All those animals are gunna be eaten by other animals and die in horribly painful ways in any case. At least with real fuckin neato, it's much less likely to be painful.
Except for what they did to the buffalo and passenger pidgeon. Don't go fuckin nuts.

The coyotes always get a treat anyways. They get all the entrails and organs, left in a nice neat pile.
Except the heart, they don't get that.

Probably. We are apex predators so the instinct to hunt should come naturally.So humans are kind of like giant house cats?
I've read (here I think so take it with a grain of salt) it's why we approach animals in certain ways, usually ways that would make them attack or get scared. We instinctively approach animals in ways that would allow us to take them by surprise or have the advantage in the situation. It's also why we circle something to inspect it.

Fuck those coyotes; they get nothing.
Sweetmeats are a treat, especially that clean, corn-fed venison. Deep woods deer..... not so much. (too many acorns/nuts & other tannic plants?).
Deercamp souse anyone?

I'm not a fan of offal, I'm afraid. The heart goes into my hunter's chili, but you can keep the sweetbreads and kidneys and gonads and such.
I'm not a huge fan of liver, so I don't keep that, but if I'm hunting with someone, they're welcome to it.

I'm the guy that always takes the hearts and livers home. That's why I always show up to the deer drive group for at least one day during the season, even if I dont shoot one I get all the hearts and livers that the others didn't want.

It is if you're using a firearm.
If you kill a bear by using only a knife, that's badass.

I love varminting only pest animals that harm horses/carry disease. Rats, Ground squirrels, pigeons, various invasive species. Varminting typically involves a very high velocity rifle and powerful scope, the animals are killed instantaneously, never knowing what hit them. You get very into it measuring out distance/wind/bullet drop and then watching something drop 300 yards out. I don't like hunting Deer, coyotes or typical game, I find the idea of hunting majestic animals like elephants and lions, offensive. I would Very much like to hunt wild boar, an invasive/destructive species that can tear me apart, so much bone in their skulls lowered powered rounds have been recorded to bounce off as they charge, sounds like a challenge. Nothing wrong with fishing if you're not going to eat it just toss it back.

The few hunters that I do know have a very respectful, if not spiritual perspective on the act of killing an animal. They are also eating the meat, of course, so I don't know if that counts as sport.

hunting for sport(not food or population/pest control) is wrong imo

I have traps for that occasion and I release the critters somewhere else because I like little fuzzy animals. I'm going to catch a bunch of them and let them loose on your fruity garden so your faggot family starves.
