i dont know about shooting a bow but i think hunting is in all of our blood, even anti-hunters, they just dont realize that we dont dedicate our lives to killing animals but just like to be out there, watching everything like the sunrise and all the birds and if a big buck walks by, more meat on the table, thats what hunting is all about
I agree with this 100%. I think hunting IS part of our make-up.....and I've also said I fear it's being bred out .....slowly, but surely.....from the "modern" man.
THAT is sad.
I love this quote:
The kill is the satisfying, indeed essential, conclusion to a successful hunt. But, I take no pleasure in the act itself. One does not hunt in order to kill, but kills in order to have hunted. Then why do I hunt? I hunt for the same reason my well-fed cat hunts...because I must, because it is in the blood, because I am the descendent of a thousand generations of hunters. I hunt because I am a hunter. - Finn Aagard
And VA....I've been hunting more years than you've likely been alive.....just not with a bow.
This is my NEW passion. I went at the others with the same fervor.....but I have never enjoyed hunting so much as the last 3 years. I admit that.
