What he said! Hunting cannot be explained any better. IMO.

Hunting is a great way to get out in the great outdoors and enjoy your family and friends. True sportsman/hunters follow the rules and regs, obey the lay of the land and laws and requirements. Hunting and fishing go hand in hand especially early in the bird hunting season.

I'm going deer hunting again this weekend. I passed on a nice buck last weekend for a chance at a nicer one spotted, this week.

Will be going Elk hunting the last week of October. Harvested a nice Elk last year. The freezer is getting low on game. The price per pound is not why I hunt. There is a reason it’s called hunting. You just don’t wander out in the woods and start shooting. Animals can smell & hear us before we know they are there . It is a blast. It’s quite and beautiful.

You can go hunting and not shoot anything. Try it some time. Many hunters do unintentionally. He he he.

I hunt and enjoy it. Not the actual Killing not that I mind that really, but being outside and camping and being around friends. I LOVE to eat it as well. I got a spike Moose this year!!! My second one since I've lived up here. I am going Goat hunting later this month, but am unsure If I'll shoot one or not. (don't like goat much but would eat it if I shot it.) (buddy really, really wants to shoot one. so Mainly I'm going as a pack animal! ) I hunted with a shotgun in Ohio and a rifle up here.

I am a hunter.
Strictly deer by Bow or Crossbow.
Too many crazies out there during gun season. ( long story or two )
I hunt private property with permission down in Hocking county.
And it is nice to be out there alone.
I get no thrill form taking a deer or 3.
But I do get a kind of spiritual thing from it. ( Not so much like Ted Nugent)
I do not know maybe something primal in me.
Either way I love to deer hunt.
Maybe some grouse, but they smell bad and are hard to clean.
