Please excuse my ignorance on the subject but, Is hunting with a fire common? I only question it because of the lack of forest and automobile fires around here doesn't seem to equate with the large number of fucktard hunters.

Yes it truly is. Realistically, if you were to hunt yourself, you would choose a manner such as this.
Respect for the land, the skill, the tradition are paramount.
On the other hand sitting in a hi-tech heated tree-stand with a high-powered automatic rifle is harvesting or Fucktards. For the money half of these assholes spend they could just buy a deer and be done with it. (Harvesting must be done but that's another discussion altogether.)

Camping in the winter traditionally involves a fire whether you plan to hunt the next day or not.

Fire yes. Giant rock on your head - not so much.

It does not say they were camping. It says they were hunting.

Camping, hunting, fishing and hiking are very complementary activities; completely normal human behavior. You eat the fish, fowl and rodents on site and take the deer home with you (except for the liver, liver must be eaten immediately). You also clean up behind you and leave no trace that you were there. If you are right-minded you'll leave some salt blocks behind to help the critters stay healthy through the winter.
Driving out in a $45k SUV, spraying deer musk around and then sitting in a heated tree stand is normal fucktard behavior.

I hike. Extensively. It is not like hunting or fishing at all. I go for peace and quiet, to be in sync with nature, not to kill and destroy. I rarely build a fire (even in the winter while snow shoeing) because it leaves permanent scars. In the rare case that I do build a fire, It is only in place where someone before me has already hade a fire and made a ring. I usually avoid these places because more often than not, who ever was there first was probably irresponsible with food and food attracts bears. Bears end up getting killed because of this irresponsibility.
So... Believe it or not, it is not mandatory to build a fire just because you are in the woods.
Edit: As a side, leaving salt blocks behind does not help critters stay healthy. It interferes with nature. ( I also realize that you may be joking but thought I would toss my $0.02 in anyway.)

All very true but when planning to spend a few weeks in the deep woods living off the land one doesn't pack factory forage for sustenance - that would be completely contradictory. At this point you are nit-picking at personal preferences. My personal preference, which I haven't done in several years, is to pack up the horses and head out for two to three weeks of living in the post-stone yet pre-industrial age.
So fire would be OK. Electronics and factory farmed food are not. Iron pots are also OK but cooking on a stone works also. Booze, eggs and milk are my major crimes.

I was only saying that in the article it says they were hunting. Not camping. I know (unfortunately) many people who go hunting and don't spend the night in the woods with a fire.
I carry 3 or 4 days of food with me in a bear can that I hang from a tree branch at night. It is pretty unusual that you can't find a resupply place in a 4 day hike. I don't take booze because of the weight but I take enough weed choke one of your horses.
All in all, I am glad the rock fell and smashed the cocksucker. One less is one less.

I love the brevity & finality of it and if wishing for a way to go that would be high on my list. I can only comment - "Kudos for an excellent and original exit!"
