Fishing vs. Hunting

What you are proposing is actually illegal. You would be charged with harassing wildlife. Not kidding.
When you hunt you are participating in something that is part of who we are as human beings. Humans have hunted for as long as they have been human. Ever wonder why people try to get as close as they can to wild animals? It is because we are hard wired to feel good about getting close to them. Close enough to stick a spear into them.
The sport we participate in on this forum is really called angling and it isn't that old. Angling means to take a fish by means of a line with a hook or angle on the end. They have found some bone and even stone hooks but I don't think they are as old as hunting artifacts like points. One of the neatest things I found while deer hunting was a stone hide scraper. I also have a stone arrow head. I sometimes think about this link to the past. How our ancestors not only survived but thrived with tools like these and how even with modern hunting tools I am doing the same thing.
