But, it wasn't a successful hunt, it was a nice walk in the woods.
David,hunting to you seems to have a different meaning then it does to me. Hunting does not in all mean killing to me, but is only a part of sports hunting. I do not have to kill to be successful. Success to me has more to do with an inner desire of fulfillment. As Big Red Porker noted, if you want to kill, you can do it very easily. Heck if I wanted to teach my son to kill, I'd take him to a butcher.
But hunting isa pursuit and/or search. Quite different then a careless walk in the woods. This is where our views differ, and it is not necessarily something that I have an overwhelmingneed to convince you of.
