I certianly don' t feel that hunting is violent. No hunting isn' t like fishing, there is no catch and release but I don' t get any inclination to go out and be violent after hunting. Although a lot of hunters aren' t gentleman I feel hunting is a gentlemans sport. It takes wit, patience, skill, fortitude and perserverance. Nowhere in a decsription of hunting will you find violence. I think this is brought about by parents who can' t control their childern wanting something to blame their childrens behavior on besides bad parenting skills. Just my opion though.
