    Because I don`t much like store bought beef.
    And I`m addicted to the one shot bang flop.

I think this is a sign of a very mature person who has some really solid values and respect. "Anybody can put on a camo hat and blast some creatures and call themselves hunters." Takes alot more to live up to the statement that you give back more than you take.

    It is a Deep question for me - hunting/fishing and gathering is soul food. My church is in the woods or out in the boat. It reminds me of how delicate the balance of life is, to respect all living things (even those nastey humans), to approach life from a meek and humble perspective as really our individual lives are pretty insignificant in the big picture of the world.

    I hunt because I'm a hunter. For meat or "trophy", I love the thrill of the hunt.
    I won't always be young, but I can be immature forever

    Filling the freezer, the thrill of it, spending time with friends around a campfire shooting the shit, spending time outdoors, seeing all the good and bad of mother nature, etc, etc, etc.
