That's an intresting perspectivee. So the challenge of the hunt plays absolutely no role in why you hunt? I would think that would put you in a rather small minority of hunters but I could be wrong. However, that does bring up the question of what reasons do you hunt?
First and foremost , I was raised on venison , as were my parents and their parents , and I absolutely love venison over any other meat!
I guess you could also say my love of hunting and being in the woods is in my family genes , as my parents and grand parents all grew up in remote areas where 100% of their time was spent in the woods either working (logging) or hunting for food.
The gratification we get from putting meat on the table is a primal instinct that runs strong in alot of hunters to this day. Others may get the same gratification (and you should) from working everyday and putting groceries in the house.
Our primitive ancestors didn't hunt for the challenge.
I understand the difference between then and now , if they failed in their hunt they would go hungry. If I fail today my family will still eat. But for those who have that strong primal instinct , putting food on the table from a grocery store just isn't the same.
I think the feeling we all get when we're sitting in the woods away from the concrete jungles of modern civilization is reason enough for anyone to hunt wether it be with bow , gun , or camera.
