Hunting is a way to connect to our earliest heritage. When hunting I am lost within the framework of the event. Nothing else matters, noting else is within my focus. It is me, the forest, and the challenge of the hunt. I am primarily a meat hunter. What I harvest is the only red meat I eat. A truely spiritual experience for some of us, but we must recognize that there are many valid reasons held by others.

i don't explain to none hunters why i hunt [waste of time] no win situation ..i hunt because i enjoy it ..ps. i also hunt with my camera ...

I hunt because I can. It is a way of life for me and most of my family.

Hunting is an instinct. It is part of human history that dates back many thousands of years. Anyone who eats meat, which Im sure includes your classmate, has no right to question the ethics of hunting.

Personally, I feel no need to advertise that I hunt. I dont wear hunting apparel, camo, or clothes with weapon/equipment logos, in public. I dont put hunting decals ,or even my clubs ID sticker on my truck. I do not talk about hunting, or display hunting photos at work. I do not even let my neighbors see me carrying gun cases to and from my car. Im not saying everyone else should hide that they hunt, but I just feel the negative vibes it tends to attract, outweighs any pride I get from displaying it.

Need say no more.:rock::rock:

So you plagiarized yourself? LOL! :D

simple answer.
we hunt because hunting is hardcoded in every human.
modern humanity has survived one Ice Age by inventing the flint and hunting.
some of us are 'active hunters' because the 'hunting' gene code is stronger in us than others.
thats what i tell my wife and it shuts her up.
simple logic.

Please send me the recipe ASAP.:D

Basserman and comments already spoken I can add very little to it,I concur. I like you my fellow Hunters go being content just to be in the woods, but seeing all these amazing creatures is a blessing. I must admit that when I watched by Buck bleed out that was tuff being my first kill, I was not without compassion for this majestic animal. I also think it needful to manage the population for thier ultimate good. If people who ask such questions would think it through they would become hunters or at least understand why it must be done. Good Hunting!
