My friend, THAT IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT!!!! I sometimes say that bowhunting is a "more intimate sport," one in which you get very up close and personal with the animals, and the more of them you pass on, the more you'll learn about them. Often timesI could care less if I make a kill, it's much more about the experience, and getting CLOSEenough to them that you can smell them, hear them eating, watch them blink their eyes, see how they truly do communicate with each other, and in that instant, I feel like I'm almost part of nature.
