Actually I agree with Blodg's statement about the primal instinct. There is some drive in us, I believe, and there are plenty of people who do not cary the drive or who have never used it. I hunted from age 12 til 19 before I got my first deer (reasons varying...seeing does when I only have a buck tag, not having good land, etc), and then I came to college and found some good land. But, here is something that I have done that you all would enjoy: I went all last semester eating only the meat that I killed w/o buying any beef at the grocery. Now I had the occasional burger when out with friends, but I sure didn't buy it, and I saved money. If you have a $20 license and a $20 tag, you get a nice deer and you've got a lot more meat than $40 would buy you at the grocery.
