I want to add one more thing.
Lots of people talk about the sport of hunting. I have no problem with someone else looking at it that way, but I don't think of hunting as a sport. It's challenging and can be quite exhausting but (to me) it's not a sport. Its Hunting.
There are victorious moments that non hunters will never understand. There is a wild mix of joy, adrenaline and the sobering reality of a life ending.
