So what if hunting (used as a broad term in this instance) was Kill optional? Would you still kill? or would you be more content with outsmarting the animal... (I havent thought of how to make it kill optional yet) then simply returning it to its natural state? I was laying in bed recovering from the hospital events and I was thinking about fishing trips Ive taken... I've cought some monster trout in waters that usually dont produce monsters and I always let them go. I've come to think of it like how when I was a little kid and I cought a big fish how amazing it felt.... what if we could do that with the game of our choice. So, If killing was optional in this sport would you still kill?

I would definitely kill. Half the challenge is getting your shot off cleanly.
There's a term for what your describing. It's called wildlife viewing, not hunting.

It is a killoption! Simply go out with a video cam and shoot whatever buck you want! Then just watch him walk away. You shot him but he still lives to fight another day.That's what I should have done with this buck. This (my avatar) is a still from video I took before shooting him with my bow. I should have continued videoing instead of killing him though.[&o]
