why i hunt. its to get away from all the crap of my every day life. if i get a deer with my ml or rifle that's just the bonus of being outside in the woods watching all the things nature has to offer. its the hunters out there that keep talking about killing an animal that gives hunting a bad name. hunting is about getting to know about nature and if your lucky enough to put game in the freezer that's just an added bonus. just my two cents.
