Any of you that have ever played sports competitively might get this. Winning a game
by fifty points sucks, Knocking your opponent out with one punch is not fighting.
Its knocking the guy down in the tenth,its that base hit in the bottom of the ninth,those are the ones worth remembering.
And the same is true to me when hunting.It is not measured by the emotionless elimination of an unsuspecting infant.[

I have played plenty of sports and while I "get" what you are saying I think it isa touch oversimplified for myself anyway. I kill plenty of deer and won't hesitate on a young doe and while it may not be the same level of excitment as looking through my peep at a nice buck the experiences are far more than "emotionless eliminations". I still feel plenty of emotions on any kill and Ienjoy every second I get in the deer woods and I geteven moreenjoyment/ satisfaction from any successful hunt. Ican understandhow itcould get old to someand I pass a lot ofdeer asI get a littlemore fadein my camo simply because processing deer can become like work when you kill 10-15 a season, but evenduring those seasons the emotion wasalways there regardless of the specs. on the deerand I'm thankful for that.
I too would prefer a one punch knockout to a ten round battle personally, I'm not sure which I prefer watching though as they both have their good points.
