Fishing vs. Hunting

[hammercarp]

Hunting involves killing an animal. There is no taking a bullet back once the trigger has been pulled. There is no getting around that or prettying it up. It is not for everyone.
It can be a lot of fun . I know that sounds weird or contradictory but it's the truth. The actual killing only takes a small fraction of the time used in the hunt . It is the whole experience that is enjoyable.
There is one thing that stands out to me. You are never more alive than when you are hunting. You are aware of so much more of what is going on around you.
With a few years under your belt you will see the natural world much differently than others that don't hunt. I mean that you will actually see things that others don't. I have had it happen more times than I can remember. You are with friends and you see a deer. "Look at the deer" ,you say. They say " Where?" You say " Right there". They say " Where I can't see it." And that is the truth , they can't.
