I really don't see how difficult it is for some to understand that some of us can absolutely love to hunt (and kill) but not take so much glee in the killing part of it. Yes I know it's part of the way I hunt, and I would not want to hunt any other way or I'd have a camera in my hands instead of a bow/gun. It's just that I don't see where the kill has to be so joyfully exalted for the hunt to be a success or worthy of our pursuit.
Agreed.
I've never based success on a kill.. if that were true no less than two dozen deer a year would fall to my bow. One or two is perfectly okay with me. Don't need any more arrogance.. I believe I have enough of it already.
