The excitement acted out on TV by the TV hunters is a huge part of the problem IMO. The shows are nothing but 30 min of commercials and then the kill shot and then the celebration......[&o]

The shows don't doa very good job portraying "real" hunting IMO and that's the problem. Non hunter have more of a chance to see a guy or girl on TV hunting the "TV way" moreso than seeing any of us hunting the way our Father's tought us.......Heck we disagree with the way the shows portray a hunt and we hunt. Imagine the feeling of someone who does not hunt.

As for the Kill I guess i just look at it as part of it, but not all of it. The excitement I feel just moments before I pull the trigger or release the aarow is un-describeable to anyone that does not hunt. Not sure TV can really show the true emotions that I feel.....

good post Atlas!
