One of my favorite passages in the Word is when David says ; As the deer panteth for water so my soul long for the.
This is a clear description of David knowing that a deer that has been shot with a arrow searches for water to sustain the feeling of dehydration. David calls out to the Lord in this case because he know he is in some big trouble and his enemy is upon him and cries out for the Lord to sustain him.

There is a lot to be learned from The Muslim Hunter.

2610. * If a halal wild animal is hunted with a weapon and it dies, it becomes halal and its body becomes Pak, if the following five conditions are fulfilled:

(i) The weapon used for hunting should be able to cut through, like, a knife or a sword, or should be sharp like a spear or an arrow, so that due to its sharpness, it may tear the body of the animal. If an animal is hunted with a trap, or hit by a piece of wood or a stone, it does not become Pak, and it is haraam to eat its meat. And if an animal is hunted with a gun and its bullet is so fast that it pierces into the body of the animal and tears it up, the animal will be Pak and halal, but if the bullet is not fast enough and enters the body of the animal with pressure and kills, or burns its body with its heat, and the animal dies due to that heat, it is a matter of Ishkal to say that the animal is Pak or halal.

(ii) The hunter should be a Muslim or at least a Muslim child who can distinguish between good and bad. If a non-Muslim, other than Ahle Kitab, or from those sects like, Nawasib - enemies of Ahlul Bait (A.S.) who are classified as Kafir, hunts an animal, the animal is not halal. As a matter of precaution, an animal hunted by Ahle Kitab is also not halal, even if he may have uttered the name of Allah.

(iii) The hunter should aim the weapon for hunting the particular animal. Therefore, if a person takes an aim at some target, and kills an animal accidentally, that animal will not be Pak and it will be haraam to eat its meat.

(iv) While using the weapon the hunter should recite the name of Allah, and it is sufficient if he utters the name of Allah before the target is hit. But if he does not recite Allah's name intentionally, the animal does not become halal. There is, however, no harm if he fails to do so because of forgetfulness.

(v) The animal will be haraam if the hunter reaches it when it is already dead, or, even if it is alive, he has no time left to slaughter it. And if he has enough time to slaughter it and he does not slaughter it till it dies, it will be haraam.

2611. * If two persons jointly hunt an animal and if one of them fulfils the requisites while the other does not, like, if one of them utters the name of Allah whereas the other does not do so intentionally, that animal is not halal.

2612. If an animal is shot with an arrow and, if it falls into water and a person knows that the animal has died because of being shot with an arrow, and falling into water, it will not be halal. In fact, if he is not sure that the animal has died only because of being shot with an arrow, it is not halal.

This is what I started to post but thought I should check with Mossie before I went to far. Hope it all makes sense now.

I have seen on a lot of sites threads asking for prayers for differnt things so
What I am trying to do is get a spot that feels confortable to talk about christian things involved in hunting. It is not realy an information site like this one and others but a true discusions on how being a Christian and being a hunter can work together. come on over and post a question, prayer request (which I will take to prayer meeting with me if you would like) and general praise issue that you would like to tell someone.

come on in by cliking on the link http://s10.invisionfree.com/Devotion_and_Prayer/index.php and check it out. I would love to see you come in.
This is still one of my favorite sites and I will never stop comming here so don't think that is what I am up to. Just giveing you a spot to discuss things from a Christian perspective.
