Could that poll be more vague? This is not a subject for a poll in my opinion since every person has their own personal reasons. I love the outdoors, the challenge of the hunt, watching animals in their natural enviroment, times spent with my fellow hunters, obviously love venison, definately relieves stress, and helps put life back into perspective just to name a few things. I'm sure that isn't even the tip of the iceberg, too many reasons to list.
