Good to see the comments were in favour of it they wanna try dropping in to a big hunting comp then
Yes a good response by the people who felt there wasn't an issue with it, to much PC bullshit these days so this was nice to see.
Thanks for posting that @outdoorlad the last comment in the article really sums it up for me:thumbsup:Quote:

Though it brings to mind, a question I've been wondering about.
Please understand my hunting days, were few and long ago and I like to bow and arrow, rabbits now.
Q: Why do I see skins of pigs, hung on fences all around?
I don't mind them, I just don't know why they are there.
Is it "look at my macho"?
Does it keep other pigs out of the pasture , therefore protecting the field?
Some other reason?
Basically showing off…Quote:

Regarding rabbit carcasses being hung on fences, I've never understood that myself. The reasons people have given me for their actions vary between "leaving it as a warning to other rabbits" to "leaving it there to encourage the hawks to come this way". I don't subscribe to any of the theories because rabbits are never going to be scared off by seeing a brother hanging on a deer fence, mustelids are unlikely to climb a fence to feed off the remains and nor will a wild cat when there are easier pickings all around them. Hawks can see dead rabbits on the ground from hundreds of meters away without having to hang them on the fence and given rabbits aren't in the habit of climbing fences to die its an unnatural place for them to be, therefore it's more likely to have the opposite effect of an attractor.
Each to their own, I guess.
I think it is an offering to appease the gods, since I've heard marriage is usually a family affair down that way I think, and kin wedding kin angrys up the spaghetti monsters :yaeh am not durnk:

He hung all his kill on the fences. I think it may have been a way of showing that he was doing his job to his cocky employer. Certainly not showing off which most of these modern displays (parades) would appear to be.
Seen rabbit board guys do it as well.
"This isn't Auckland". There are probably more shooters/hunters living in Auckland than the entire country put together.

Do you mean avocado hunters?
Farmer down the road hangs magpies from the fences, he swears it keeps the other pesky buggers away. Might be an old wives tale but anything is worth trying I reckon.
I'd probably do that too... I have a deep-rooted dislike of Magpies going back to my childhood. If I got one it would be hung AND drawn AND quartered. Bloody things seem to sense my aura and stay well away from me! Very wise.Quote:

Well if it worked there be only one (insert any targeted dead thing) ever hanging on the fence until it's completely perished.Quote:
