JimT Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Hunting to me is everything. Like you said, I hunt to get out, not just for the kill. Nothing beats being in the bear/deer woods for me. I have seen more wildlife in my 12 years of hunting than most animal rights freaks see in their lifetime. I bet I care about the animals I hunt more than most a/r freaks also. Hunting is the best.

Shaun_300 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Re: Hunting too you? Welcome to the Realtree Forums DRB my view on hunting is very similar to yours. i go hunting to get out of the house, and enjoy nature. it doesnt matter if i get game or not. to me, getting out in the woods is what its all about, and getting game is a bonus. i am only 18, so i dont have any kids of my own yet, but i have lots of cousins, and i take them out as often as i can. i love seeing them with a smile on their face when they are enjoying the outdoors. and i cant wait until i have children of my own and i can take them out in the woods and teach them all about hunting, and respecting and enjoying nature.

JoshM Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Re: Hunting too you? Hunting to me is everything I just like being able to go out in the woods breathe fresh air and haveing the adrenalin rush you get when you see a deer and enjoying what you love to do. I spend about 8 hours in the woods each week pretty much. I would rather be in the woods than being inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingInMaine Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Re: Hunting too you? I couldn't agree more about the joy you can get taking a child out with you. Fishing is the best with young ones because they are almost certain to get something and their smile is just as big if they are pulling up a little perch or a big trout!

waterfowler_gal Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Re: Hunting too you? Welcome...great insight and point of view... As we gain knowledge and get older (hope I age with grace) we are teacher's for tomorrow's future. We don't teach appreciation for hunting and conservation and the land nothing will be left for our kid's kid's kid's kid to enjoy..... I guarantee you take a child hunting or in the outdoor's they will learn a whole new respect for the finer things in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Re: Hunting too you? I'll be taking my little cousin out scouting pretty soon for turkeys. He is still too young for a gun. But he loves nature and what God has created for us all. When I get married and I have a family with daughters and sons, I'll try to get them out in the outdoors. Can't wait to pass down my tradition of hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Re: Hunting too you? Hunting is the better parts about being here on this earth. Its history and tradition you can feel in the air and smell in the wind. Its about being a part of the long chain that is Life. Last but not least.....its the anticipation of it happening all over again in the future that wells up inside and stokes the fire in a hunters heart. P.S.

wtnhunt Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Re: Hunting too you? Welcome to the forums. Been taking my oldest daughter out hunting with me some since she was 4. Getting her out has been great experience for us both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyj987 Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Re: Hunting too you? Hunting to me is getting up early and staying out all day. Being hungry, cold, and frustrated at times. It's a struggle between sitting "5 more minutes" and going home for some coffee and food. It's fighting nicotine fits and trying to stay awake. It's hunting hard all season to the point of exhaustion and borderline insanity without having a deer come into range. It's cursing the squirrels that sound like an approaching buck, and becoming angry with blue jays "yelling" at everything they hear. Though I've mentioned some of the "less glamorous" aspects of hunting, I still go. I still love it...it is an opportunity to talk to God and to admire His creation. It's also an opportunity to thank Him, not just for a successful harvest, but for the ability to be out there--successful or not--and know that I will not go hungry because I have been blessed. When a hunt is successful, it's another opportunity to thank Him for making a good shot, and mercifully killing my game. The camaraderie, the challenge, the adrenaline rush are there for me as well. However, feeling closer to Him for that time is the most rewarding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetailkiller Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Re: Hunting too you? i first wanted to hunt because i love the taste of venison!!!!! once i got out there i realized how awesome it was...the adrenalin rush, the peace and tranquility of being alone in the woods, too many reasons to list.........i just love it.....but my primary reson is food!!!!!!!!!

Orion_70 Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Re: Hunting too you? It's relaxation, a way to get away where your worries are carried off by the soft breeze hitting your left check as you watch that trail. It's respect for nature, respect for animals and life. It's remembering where we came from, our history and traditions and trying to honor those the best we can. It's about trying to pass those skills on to a next generation so they may enjoy the countless hours afield and pass it on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camelNS Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Re: Hunting too you? Hunting to me is a passion,way of life for me.Just sitting out in the woods and nothing happening but the stillness of the wilderness,then all of the sudden there is noise and many different types of animals could present themselves at anytime.The comrauderie of hunting with others,learning and teaching are great aspects of hunting.I can't wait to have a little one to teach skills I have aquired over the years from my dad.Then it will mean even more to me.
