RE: Why do you hunt?
 

I go to church , been to Bible college for 6 years and still have my closest times with God in my deer stand. I love identifying trees ,birds and flowers. I video tape alot and share my tapes with my students .In Florida you could see a panther, coyote, hogs ,bobcat one of 5 different poisoness snakesand best of all a deer.I've even had to go around a gator to get to the stand.But the best thing to see that thrills every nerve in your being is a deer. Especially after long hours of scouting and the trial and error of calling. And then to slowly raise the rifle to your shoulder and squeeze off a round and watch your deer fall.....that inner joy last me a long time. I had a pretty rough childhood and use to hunt to escape the pressure. Hunting is still my blessed get away.

I go hunting to try to get meat for my family.Unfortunately I haven't been too good at it.I love to see all the wildlife out there and the squiet of being in the woods.I love a nice steady snow.It is so peaceful and you can track the deer too.Unfortunately I can't go for rabbits or pheasants anymore.I want to try coyote hunting because there are way too many around here and far too few deer now.

i go for a lot of reasons but mostly for the peace that it gives me and to spend time with God....if I see a critter great and if I get one even better but some of my best hunts were when I never got a shot off.
i could on and on and on and on and on but i'm already an hour into overtime and think the boss will get a lil upset if i stay a couple more just to talk about huntin'.:)

I enjoy God's great outdoors. I can sometimes be absolutely marveled at it all. I take pride in the fish & game brought to the table thru our hands and not a grocery store.

I was born to hunt and fish. Its a passion. However the meat is important to our family as we all love fish and game. With meat and gas prices so high it takes a lot of pressure off the grocery bill. Getting together with hunting friends is certainly a big part of it as well and hunting season are usually our vacations.

Mainly to be outdoors, observing nature. It feels good to just go out, forget about all my troubles in life, and just enjoy being alive.
