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.
I have yet to see anyone imply that one way or the other is "right" or "wrong". The very title of the thread states that this is a subjective opinion and what some view as nothing more then "shooting".......others consider "hunting" and vice versa.
The simple fact is that in many threads lately I have seen comments like "They aren't "hunting"........or "That's more "shooting" then "hunting". These comments can be found in just about EVERY thread that mentions fences, bait, food plots, outfitters, long range rifles, drives, "guaranteed" kills etc. My question was where do YOU draw the line?.......I believe the answer to that question is VERY subjective and many things can be involved in forming that opinion.
