Yes I love gun hunting also. Why do some of you condemn the way one hunts, it' s all hunting, Walking, stalking, driving, sitting, blinds, treestands whatever... Gun, bow, muzzleloader,shotgun,spear, knife or dog it' s all hunting. Hunting is the taking of game for food. If you have to make a challenge of it thats fine call it more challenging but dont condemn the way one hunts or say thats not hunting, thats is B.S. For me getting into the woods is the number one reason I hunt second would be meat, third would be to take a trophy. Gun hunting can be challenging too. I love to really reach out and touch them. This pic below is of a hog that I took at a distance of 240 yds with a shot to his head that dropped him like a ton of bricks. Not everyone can shoot like that. He went 185lbs, not huge , but not small, he had four inch tusks and his european head mount is on the wall.
