I don't hunt because of the allure of cash prizes or awards do you?
No of course not.
I don't know of anybody who hunts for competitive reasons except perhaps to challenge themselves.
I do know of a hunting contest run every year right here and seems to be supported by this site whichseems verycompetitive in nature.
I guess, I just don't feel so up in arms or have a very strong opinion about this whole thing. It doesn't really strike me the wrong (or right) way.
