The reason I love to hunt is that it is a way of life to me. I was raised around hunting, firearms, fishing, gardening, and the outdoors in general. I guess that happened a lot in NW Pennslyvania... I would never take it back either! It has shown me how great it is to have wide open spaces!
l guess that it also has to do with the fact that my ancestors did the exact same thing which makes me feel connected to them... Only their lives depended upon their success where as I can go to the local market to get food if I do not kill something.
Whenever I have children I will take themhunting, fishing, camping, scouting, and whatever else not... So they can also make the choice to have those activities as part of their life
There is my .02 cents on why I hunt!
