RE: why do you bow hunt?
I hunt for the "sport" of it. Now, when I say "sport" I don't mean what Webster is defining it as. What I mean is, the sport of studing your prey, knowing what it's going to do. Taking a piece of land, scouting it, knowing what trails they use when and where they are going. Setting up stands amonth ahead of time, making sure everything is just right. Walking into the woods at 5 a.m., not making a sound, sitting in there all day. Waiting, during the peak of the rut. oderless, the only oders around are the ones that you want. Waiting for Mr. big to step out of the brush, perfect 20 yard broadside shot. And at that moment, when you release that arrow, you and that deer create a bond, a friendship, an understanding, that no one else can have. Sure,others can experience it but none will no that exact bond that you have made. Only then you will know the term "sport"
