Doug, the idea of looking through a scope at bambi, pretty much freaks me out. I don't even like fishing (watching the fish gasp for air is pretty traumatic, I think...)
But having not hunted, I know there is part of the experience I miss. 200 million years of animals feeding off one another -- via the hunt -- is somehow a part of us. It may be a part worth suppressing/fighting (like pissing outdoors), but until you try it a few seasons, you have no idea what instinct it is the hunters are satisfying (besides the one to drink beer). Its not like they invented the game 5 years ago, and the 'atrocity' is catching on... Next you'll stop hunting vegetables...
