If its legal over there..and its your thing do it I suppose..
Its illegal in my part of the world...I suppose Id regard it as "shooting"...but not "hunting"...If your not into stalking your prey..outwitting it and you prefer to just sit around and wait for it to wander in..all power to you..I fitted a tree stand last year..sat in it for 10 minutes before i got the urge to go and hunt...for me its all about being in the bush..stalking...learning your preys habits ...thinking like the animal..
But dont consider your kill as a trophy...Unless I 'hunt' my prey its just a kill...nothing more.
You may not agree..but I couldnt care less..these are just my views..the views of a "hunter"....not a "shooter".
