I love the hunt and the kill equally; it alls goes together as one. Of course you hunt way more then you kill or they would call it ''killing'' instead of ''hunting.'' Same as why they call it''fishing'' instead of ''catching.'' I have to admit though that somedays I have to just kill something with my bow; even if it is a sparrow under the feeder while I shoot off of my 2nd floor sundeck. Yea, I am hardcore. HCH
