RE: What is your reason for bowhunting?
I hunt to celebrate my existence as a man. Killing is deeply engrained into who I am. I don't need to in order to survive, but feel incomplete without it.
I'm in full agreement with PreacherTony. I enjoy the kill, because I'm a killer, and I accept this for what it is.
As far as "bow hunting" goes, there are many cool things about bow hunting that separate it from other forms, just as the others have their own desirable aspects. Like being in the woods while there are leaves on the trees, having to get close and never letting your guard down, no "bang" and no orange clothing. I didn't think about the no orange part until I was able to watch other people in the woods, doing other things. They had no idea that I was there, and that was a pretty cool situation I'd not experienced before. But, the absolute coolest part, is the rut...
