I do agree with you that they are different pursuits. The same as a pool league, or darts league, etc. Only thing in common is that we talk hunting the entire time, and for me it's time to spend with a community of people that do share common interest with me. I'm a competitive person, and do enjoy competing, and this is a great way to enjoy the fellowship of others interested in like things and give me an outlet to compete.

Explain "differences in preparation and their hunting in general". I'd like to understand what you mean by this.........give us examples.
