Is Bowhunting in our genetic makeup?
I was sitting and thinking the other day and began to think about our ancestors from thousands of years ago who first hunted with a bow and arrow. I began to think about how sometimes when my brain doesn't get in the way I shoot without thinking and shoot wonderfully. This especially comes into play with me when I shoot my recurve. And it got me to thinking that you would have to believe that somewhere in our genetic makeup the instincts to shoot a bow and arrow have been passed down through the generations and all we have to do is find the way to unlock that genetic code. Sort of like having a locked room in our brain with all the information you ever wanted to know about bowhunting and shooting a bow in that locked room. Its all there without you knowing its there, and all you have to do is find the key to unlock it. Does anyone else sort of believe this too?

I don't think it's in our genes, but I do think those that are meant to do it, do it, and those that don't, well, don't....I mean I know some guys that try to bowhunt and give it up after a few seasons, others like me and most of these guys on here, we just don't quit, we take the good with the bad and don't expect too much, or we do expect too have down times.;)

i dont know about shooting a bow but i think hunting is in all of our blood, even anti-hunters, they just dont realize that we dont dedicate our lives to killing animals but just like to be out there, watching everything like the sunrise and all the birds and if a big buck walks by, more meat on the table, thats what hunting is all about

I love this quote: The kill is the satisfying, indeed essential, conclusion to a successful hunt. But, I take no pleasure in the act itself. One does not hunt in order to kill, but kills in order to have hunted. Then why do I hunt? I hunt for the same reason my well-fed cat hunts...because I must, because it is in the blood, because I am the descendent of a thousand generations of hunters. I hunt because I am a hunter. - Finn Aagard And VA....I've been hunting more years than you've likely been alive.....just not with a bow.:) This is my NEW passion. I went at the others with the same fervor.....but I have never enjoyed hunting so much as the last 3 years. I admit that.;) |

I don't know Jeff,you have me on the ducks but you ain't got me on the deer hunting. I started hunting in general for small game and birds about 20 yrs ago and the deer about 18 yrs ago, but you are much older than me!!!:D
