I hunt to see the sun rise. I hunt to experience the silence of the woods, and the sounds of the same. I hunt to challenge myself, nothing like a rocky mtn elk hunt, way ,WAY back into the wilderness. I hunt to fill tags too. I hunt for meat, some days I hunt for trophies. I hunt to relax, to get away, to get retuned to what I feel I'm suppose to be. I hunt to be with friends and family and sit by campfires.

The KILL is a very small part of hunting. Its the focal point - but still a small part if that makes any sense.
