What are some of the wackiest questions you've been asked by a non-hunter about hunting? I'm assuming everyone has a Mother-in-law, relative, or co-worker who doesn't hunt or know anything about it, but asks questions that are just totally off the wall.

Here are a few that I have had asked:

"Do you REALLY eat the meat?!?!?" (They usually have their nose kinda scrunched up when they ask) That one, along with "Have you been shot at?" seem to come up every so often.

"If you shoot the Dad elk who will protect the other elk??" No shit!, I've been asked this.

I showed a picture of a Mountain Lion to a relative of my wife and his first comment was, "Looks like a female" I asked how he could tell from the photo if it was male or female and he said, "It doesn't have all that long hair on the neck like the male lions on TV" LOL

Lets hear your odd ball questions.

The one that always got to me was; "Did you catch a deer on your days off?"

LOL! Kokopelli, I've been asked if I caught anything as well. It always throws me off.
Some people ask if I eat coyotes. I answer no and inveritably the reply is "Well, then why do you shoot them?" I used to say it was exciting and challenging but now I will use Tim B's reasoning and tell them it's lack of sex or testosterone back up.
I actually had someone tell me. "That looks just like a dog!" Intriguing observation I hadn't noticed that 'til now. It does look somewhat dog-like.

My sister-in-law: "I could never marry a hunter, I love animals too much."

I think one of the dumbest things Ive heard in regards to hunting is-- How can you eat that? It was once a living creature...
As if steaks in the store wasnt once walking thru a feed lot..

The one I always enjoy is, "How can you shoot <a deer or whatever>". And I always answer, "...about 4 pounds on the trigger.".

After having a tire blow out east of Tombstone, I was on my way to Sierra Vista to buy a new one. Being a bit unfamiliar with the area I asked a local gentleman for directions. He saw the camo and all, and asked what I was doing? When I told him I was hunting coyotes, he asked "What Kind"?

I've found enough backpacks and water bottles in the desert from the brown tide, I'm sure not looking for them or thier guides.

Actually I,m a vegeterian ,but I eat alittle pork,...some chicken now and then beef,or venison. fish and stuff like that but outside of that Im a strict vegan. I guess the most common question Im asked is the did you catch anything. I usually answer I tried, but they were too fast so I had to shoot them..

I sure haven't noticed it Leonard...

Rich, we are running low on that fancy $9 a bottle water from that glacier in the Swiss Alps and we sure could use some more of that Russian caviar. The guests are gobbling it up faster than the sturgeon can make it. Did you want me to change oil in the Escalade before the next batch of hunters arrive at the airport? Tofu sanwiches are made for today. [Big Grin]
