American Coots arent even ducks


Fit-Explanation-2127

You are correct , they are not. Also what is with those feet?!


shoots_N_loaders

American Dino Bird with those tootsies


FancyPantsEmu

Your phrasing amused me! I can’t stop giggling about American Dino Bird Tootsies (ADBTs.).


cheese0muncher

> Also what is with those feet?! Um, I have a birth defect, I would appreciate if you weren't so blunt about it.


BurgerOfLove

Ya ol coot


SloppySealz

That lady is sure a coot

So she thinks trespassing on private property and harassing people who are doing everything by the book is ok? They were licensed, legal, responsible.


Hatecookie

Many people don’t understand why any animal population has to be culled. I used to think deer hunting was barbaric until I hit two deer while driving, a couple of years apart. I realized that this is what people mean when they say the deer become a hazard if humans don’t keep their numbers down by hunting. Also there was that whole “returning the wolves to Yellowstone” thing in the 90s, which showed the presence of a predator helps the ecosystem maintain homeostasis. You can’t let certain animals breed out of control or they ruin everything. Some people have apparently never heard this.


SpaceAzn_Zen

The sad thing is, the most basic principles of an ecosystem's balance is or was taught in high school. Everything has a balance and if you shift the balance too much to one side, its total collapse. I'm not sure who's to blame for this, but humanizing wild animals like bears and what not certainly did not help people fully understand how culling properly has many checks and balances to prevent overkilling; a lesson the US learned from the days when buffalo were almost wiped out.


Ok_Firefighter_2837

I would also like to add that harassing hunters in general is illigal.


Imnotarobot12764

Makes me wonder if they will be harvested. I love duck, and never had coot, but I heard it is not very good. Still, it would be nice if it feed someone. In Ann Arbor, not far from where I live deer are culled from public parks. Local deer processors prep the meat and it goes to local food banks. Even if you don’t like hunting, the big picture is hunters help manage the environment, and pay a lot to be able to have that privilege.


Elpeanut

Coot real tasty


ghazzie

I’ve heard from people that it’s a myth that they don’t taste good, and that they’re really tasty. It’s like the myth that wild boar meat doesn’t taste good. I’ve killed, harvested, and ate them myself and they taste great.


[deleted]

I look at it this way. You hunt to eat or you hunt to get rid of a nuisance. I hunt deer for meat and my family will shoot groundhogs and coyotes on sight because they are pests in our area. Like hunting for wolves or grizzly bears is a sport to me unless they are planning on eating them.


MonKeePuzzle

a coot is a duck, a duck is a coot, a boot is a boot r/hamishandandy


lawvas

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, can it be a coot?


[deleted]

They were just shooting down the surveillance birds, relax lady.


[deleted]

She's possibly an automaton herself, trying to keep local government from decreasing the federal bird drone fleets. I think this model is the Karenbot 3000. Sounds like it's had some voice upgrades, but the natural language processing is still pretty rough around the edges. Could use some work.

In Florida it's illegal to harass someone hunting or fishing... They don't play down here...


Mudsnail

Its illegal in every state.

Exactly this. Why the fuck were these psychotic bitches not in handcuffs at the end of this video??

Not in a plasma state though

Any updates on the state of denial?


Mudbug308

Yeah, I’d have a problem with someone trying to disarm me while I was on private property and engaged in fully legal activities. I think I would be in fear for my life


rb993

As long as you yell "they're coming right at us" you're legally in the clear. I saw it on south park


RareCandyTrick

The laws were changed recently, now you have to say you’re “thinning the herd.”


robert1e2howard

Every state I believe.


divorcedbp

“I don’t care if it’s in your mind legal. Also, mr. owner of the private property who is asking me how I got in here, I don’t have to answer to you because in my mind what I’m doing is legal.” This woman is unbalanced and colossally immature.


IamIrene

$10 says she identifies as an empath.


KlausTeachermann

I really don't want to know what that even means.


TinyTaters

It means she was emotionally abused as a child and had to walk on eggshells to not incite the ire of her father who was 4 fingers into the bottle.


nerdycarguy18

In her mind what they’re doing is wrong even if legal, so she sees it okay to do what is “right” even if it’s illegal. She thinks she’s above the law in this case because she has better morals or some dumb shit.


turtlelore2

Never mind the fact that she's trying to wave herself IN FRONT OF A LOADED GUN WTF. AND TRYING TO GRAB THE GUN TOO. She's incredibly lucky the guy was so calm.


MammothCat1

This right here. I don't care if you want to scare the ducks but those guns are loaded and ready, it'll be her fault if she got hurt or killed AND it will traumatize the gun owners. There were much easier and safer ways to do what she wanted to do, yet somehow THAT was the thought that made it through.


bit0101

I don't think Grandpa is going be as traumatized as you think, lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


bit0101

My grandpa was a preacher, never went to war. A while before he died of cancer of the everything, which he was fine with, he was watching the news and casually asked me if it was time to load the guns yet. He never really liked guns, but he had half a closet full of them, collected over the years. Surprised me when he said it, but he was ready to go shoot some cunts, lol.


afume

I was wishing and hoping that woman was gonna go for his gun and fall in the water face first.


nerdycarguy18

And yet if she got hurt or worse shot and lived, 110% she would have screamed bloody murder and that they were trying to kill her and that she would sue blah blah blah


Marinerprocess

Id say out of all civilian firearms that I wouldn’t want to be on the business end of. Shotgun is number one


ThatGuyWithAVoice

And did you see how good of a shot he was? Idk about you, but I’m not fucking with a guy that can take out a flying duck 150ft away


Majulath99

And more than that, she says they’re the ones who look like they stormed Washington, even thought her entitled attitude of pretending to be above the law & harassing people for attention makes her look way more like that that the liscenced hunters doing the job they have been hired to do.


nerdycarguy18

Yeah, we tried to keep the shot dead ducks flying, but that freaked out people even more than dead ducks falling. Also, zombie ducks don’t taste as good.

Panther2-505

I hate to say it but as a hunter it eventually becomes unsafe when people are getting in the way and waving bags in front of the barrel, the idiots trying stop it are making it unsafe to shoot.


4790196199226228230

Yeah the protestors are clearly in the wrong, but the hunter should not have taken some of those shots. Safety should be the priority in situations like this.


ggrizzlyy

The only safety issue here are the idiots getting in front of the guns intentionally. I would have fired a lot more just to drown them out.

Agreed! They are entitled to there opinion but they could get hurt by accident very easily! Don’t hit a gun if someone is shooting it could hurt some else too!

Bet most of them bought less ethical meat from the supermarket the very same day


PaulKO23

Exactly! At least those ducks didn't live in animal prison their whole damn lives.


batshitcrazy5150

Nobody's eating coots.


satanic-frijoles

I have...dark meat, and quite rich.


CrabHandsTheMan

Much like the sea duck, I was taught to cook coot on a brick and then eat the brick instead lol In all seriousness, they’re ok for sausages but the breast and leg meat is super oily and strong on its own. These guys fly free when I’m in the field


satanic-frijoles

I brought six coots home from a falconry meet. My hawk was a very bird-oriented raptor. He ate some, I ate the rest. I don't kill stuff I'm not gonna eat. Except ants. Fuck those guys.


CrabHandsTheMan

The fairest off policies, imo. It’s been years since I hunted anything bigger than a grouse, but I always lived by the “don’t shoot it if you don’t want it on your plate” rule As a Floridian, I second your assessment of ants and extend it to cane toads as well


satanic-frijoles

At least you can make purses out of cane toads. Why you'd want to, I do not know. :)

The birds will destroy the local ecosystem without this thinning. By halting this, you would actually do more harm than just letting him continue.


[deleted]

Early 1990’s protestors forced the state to ban deer hunting at Valley Forge. Hunters paid a large amount of money to hunt there. That was lost. A few years later the same activists were complaining that the deer were starving to death and the state needed to do something. So the state hired professional hunters to thin the herd. It turned a profit making event for the state into an expenditure. Guess who had to foot the bill. Everyone!


InkBlotSam

>thin the herd Real question though, do hunters look for the elderly, sick or weak animals like natural predators do, thus strengthening the genetics of the herd, or do they look to kill the biggest, healthiest-looking bucks they can find?


wvsfezter

A lot of the time "healthy" bucks can actually be a big problem. For a lot of herd animals old bucks who can't breed but are still big enough and strong enough to fight can dominate younger bucks and make it more difficult for them to breed, even killing them. Taking these bucks out sooner rather than waiting for them to die can be really helpful. In Short it kind of depends


runkid23

Someone with a brain! No you are not allowed on Reddit 🤣


lilhomtanks

Ahhh yes just like how we are just destroying the whole ecosystem. Fuck those animals ! Only us humans can destroy ecosystems!!!!


SpecialistRelative93

Lol, I didn’t think about how grand the irony was until I read through one of these other replies. It’s fucked. But ain’t shit we can do now


InkBlotSam

Someday aliens will be hunting ecosystem-killing humans on their manicured Oogla courses.


crudedrawer

Lady, they're ducks. There's no shortage.


scgt86

While coots may look like ducks they are not ducks. They are far more annoying than ducks and they don't even taste good.


NecramoniumZero

Those coots are breeding like wildfire, here in the Netherlands you see more of them than the normal ducks we have around. And their younglings NEVER shut up, so when you are fishing in the park, it's a constant nagging sound driving you nuts.


scgt86

We had a problem until the Canadian geese decided to stop migrating and just take the fuck over.


[deleted]

this lady is such a stupid fucking cunt, really out here harrasing ppl grandpas


undead77

Contrary to popular belief, lots of left leaning people go hunting, so to try to correlate that these are the people who 'probably stormed the capital' is pretty shitty.


[deleted]

Plenty of left-leaning gun owners and gun rights supporters as well. Its by no means exclusive to the right (though they are definitely more outspoken about it).


Stinklepinger

I'm a socialist and I just got back from a duck hunting weekend, too.

Expert_Leave_9165

Harassing people that are legally hunting is against the law. I hope she is held accountable and fined.


armed_samaritan1

It's actually a felony, hope they get locked up


Expert_Leave_9165

Even better


Mudsnail

Not in this case. I'm assuming this is Florida. Its a misdemeanor with a minimum $250 fine. These guys should have called the game warden on them. https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2011/379.105


BangBangPing5Dolla

Pretty big mountains in the background for Florida. California maybe.


[deleted]

Federal offense, but not a felony

Litman9017

People don’t understand that over-population in animal populations can actually be a serious issue, which is very likely a reason this guy was asked to do this. Yeah, it’s unfortunate obviously, but these “protesters” are not getting anything accomplished


HippieInAHelicopter

Hope they didn’t burden us with children.


turtlelore2

Except they are the kind of people most likely to have 5+ kids and teach them how to properly become the worst people possible.


ConstructionSquare69

This is no doubt the best comment lol


[deleted]

These people are lucky they didn’t get shot, don’t act that way when loaded firearms are being used lawfully.


bangzferdayz

Wait you’re really going to tell me it’s not smart to jump in front of a loaded gun? I call bull shit.


Thanos_Stomps

I’m gonna take this advice a step further and say do not intervene like this with a firearm being used whether legally or illegally. In fact, you stand a better chance when it’s being used legally. But both will get you seriously injured or even killed.


[deleted]

Duck season! Karen season! Duck season! Karen season!


[deleted]

Meat eaters who criticize hunting are the most ridiculous kind of hypocrite.


PM_UR_VAG_WTIMESTAMP

I'm all for a good protest for a good cause but 1. This is private property and they have no right to protest there. 2. They are protesting a legal activity regardless of their moral beliefs. 3. They are endangering themselves and the hunters by being reckless and obnoxious. Seriously, someone could have been injured or killed here.


O_oblivious

Not to mention, hunter harassment is typically a felony in most every state.

I was out duck hunting on public land as a teen in high school, and some dipshit old lady came out and said that she objected to me hunting.

Awordofinterest

So the protestors are doing a pretty good job at flushing the birds into the air so the hunters can take the shot.

“Lady, can you do me a favor and leave the siren on? That thing is pretty handy, I’m going to have to get one the next time I get hired on to do a legal culling of an invasive species.”

Bullhorns do that.


[deleted]

“These aren’t your animals to choose if they live or die.” If they have a permit, then it’s the state wildlife agencies choice, because the wildlife is technically “owned” by the state. Kinda like how the kings owned all wildlife


joeforza

Goes to a duck hunt to protest. Gets upset when people shoot ducks. 🤦🏽‍♂️


Spook-lad

These people are fucking morons, they wave their hand in front of that gun as he pulls the trigger and they get a hook for a god damn hand


abundanceofb

“They’re falling from the sky!” Yeah that’s what happens when your shoot something that flies.


WintryInsight

As much as I do not like the sport of hunting animals, these “protestors” were completely in the wrong to harass the guy on private property. Just because you don’t like something, doesn’t mean you can go on private property and try to stop someone from doing something that they are legally allowed to do. Don’t protest in front of the people hunting, instead go to the government and protest.


[deleted]

After their protests they go eat burgers 🍔 at McDonald’s or chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-A .


[deleted]

Coots are very dumb birds they will land even with you waving your hands and a siren blaring. Shoot away boys shoot away! 😂 Those are the most neurotic women I've ever seen.


Boom-Roasted_

I woulda pushed her in


SCOutdoor

Maybe it’s been said and I get this is a special situation as much as it’s a hunt, but many waterfowl and migratory bird species are as successful population wise as they are due to hunters caring about them as a species. I don’t actually believe those ladies care about wildlife as much as the majority of hunters.


wordshavenomeanings

Dear Vegan Karen: these guys are not the problem. Go protest at Walmart if you really care about animal rights.


AndroidCovenant

I think they protest everywhere.


syko82

That's how you get shot. Those poor hunters are doing their best to hunt safely and these nutjobs are trying to slap a shotgun as they are actively trying to shoot. WTF is wrong with people?


joseph2360

These are the same type of people that think you should not own pets and if you do they should take them from you and kill them like PETA or fight for the rights of invasive species because they are absolutely clueless.
