RE: The subjective nature of what is considered "hunting" vs "shooting"
Hunting for me is defined by how I do it. Hunting for a man in Texas/Fla/IA (insert any other region)is probably defined byhow he does it............. although it is probably a lot different than the way I go about things.
There are tactics and methodsthat I would not do simply because I like the way I do it best, not because the otherguy is wrong.That's why it's so enjoyable to me.
It's my way on my time. I only have to be within the rule of law and I have to please nobody but myself in regards to if I sit or stalk; hunt over a feeder or open timber;use a gun or a bow; shoot a spike or a yearlingor a mature buck. It's my choice and that's what makes ALL of "HUNTING" great for me.
I also like to learn and try out new things each year and that's the reason I am on here.
