1. The meat
2. Escape from everyday life
3. Escape the wife
4. Enjoy watching nature, I like to see how close I can get to an animal
5. The comeraderie, spending time with friends

I list this one last, but to me it is the most important.

Hunting is the only place on this earth where I can TRUELY be myself. I am not second guessed, argued with, told what to do, or rushed. I make my own decisions, in my own time, under my own thoughts, with no one else's "feelings" to take into consideration.
Nature doesn't care who I am, what I do, where I come from or how much money I make. Nature doesn't care who my friends are, who I am married to, what my parents think, what my boss tells me, or what to do next. Nature just cares that I show up and pay it some attention sometimes.
