For me,a "hunt"isa challenge. It is something I've work hard for. There is a degree of difficult provided by the hunter as well as his environment. Within a "hunt", there are no guarantees...

(This past October, I drove solo 18 hours round trip to hunt for 5 hours in Oklahoma. No, I did not hang a stand or clear limbs-the drive was hard enough in a weekend. I shot a mature deer from the ground with my bow. The challenge and love for hunting was enough to get me there. Yes, I used land provided by a friend...)

For me, a "Shoot" is still a challenge. But, I expend very little energy participating. There is a degree of difficult provided by the hunter as well as the environment. Within a "shoot", there are usually guarantees...

(Duck/goose shooting from a blind on the North Platt river or in one of our many corn fields)

Both are legal and both have their place. If you get something good from either, then by all means Play! If you don't, then find something more suitable for your time. We have so little of it on this earth!
