Why do you hunt?

[Chap]

Tradition
Comraderie
For the occasions when I get lucky that make the days that I didn’t seem worth it.
For creating memories that my friends and I can reflect on when we are one day too old to make more.
The opportunity to give my kids a taste of what it was like when I was a kid
Tasty quarry
Someday getting even with Lynchmob
So I can maintain an attachment to my ancestors and their land
Hanging out with Duckbuster68 and Candor and laughing all day long
These days, just being able to enjoy the peace and solitude at dawn and dusk

I also hunt because the biggest one I have ever shot is still out there

I hunt for the same reason I fish, to catch and kill for food, not because I have to, it's because I want to. Folks say we have grocery stores for fish and meat so why hunt and fish? The same question could be asked: Why do you grow a garden? There is satisfaction working the land, weeding, planting and growing your own vegetables. The same goes for preparing for the hunt. There is also satisfaction in sharing fresh grown vegetables when you have an abundance, I do the same with fresh caught fish / wild game.

To see another sunrise or sunset is a bonus but my goal is to catch and kill. During the off season, I do what I can to put the resource back and am constantly preparing for another Fall / Winter wild game harvest.

I don't know how not to. I've always done it. I turkey hunted in Maine last Saturday and have looked at 10+ places to take turkey trips for next year. I have had conversations about sunflowers, chufa planting, and deer food plots this week. I am taking my kids to my lease this afternoon to fish, but it is more about looking for poults. North Dakota will be here before you know it.

Hunter gotta hunt

[E. Taylor]

It's the one thing in my life that I have this constant desire to keep doing, learning, and improving on. From my early years of shooting sparrows and blackbirds with a Daisy BB gun on the farm, to hunting with bows and arrows only, I am always looking forward to that next hunt or what's over that next ridge. Spent so many great times with my grandad, dad, my boys, and good friends over the years. When I was young, it was all about the kill and how many I got. Now at 56, I can sit for hours in the stand and just watch. That peace and quiet time is good for my soul.

Now with my first grandson approaching one year old. I am getting reenergized. There is so much I want to teach him and show him. Can't wait to spend time in the woods with my little buddy.

And for any of yall that have never spent time in duck blind with Labluver, hell that is an experice you will never forget. Good friends and good times, that is what it's all about.

Because I have't found the last blackduck.Yet...

You btter find him before I do

The same reason men still prefer doggy style. It's our primal nature- the way God created us.

[w33kender]

It's fun.

[Arrowman]

I’m just not happy if I’m not hunting something.

Well said counselor.

[reeltight]

To get away from my wife. Joking of course.

To quote JJ Grey about being in the swamp "Some people say I go to the swamp to escape reality and I tell them nah man, you got it wrong. I go to the swamp to get back to reality"

Forget this day to day rat race we live in. Offshore and in the woods (most of the time) are the two places my cell phone doesn't work. Do you know how peaceful that is?

Well put. Well put.

Where else am I going to wear my camo outfits?

Ted Nugent said it best. "You can't grill it 'til you kill it, and anybody that doesn't like that can eat shit and die."

[Two Barrels]

It’s what I do. Being outside, with my dogs, with family and friends, walking to the next point. I am doing something involving some aspect of the hunt every day. My wife barely tolerates me now at times. If I gave up hunting, she might be forced to shoot me.

[MediaGuy]

Because critters need killing and it makes liberals uncomfortable unless they're hungry.

[JCT]

I believe by God's design man is a natural born hunter

Amen

[Colin4]

I like pulling the trigger and setting the hook to be honest and the food it provides.We eat wild game at least 5 nights a week. Tonight meal is my wife favorite bacon wrapped cube steak
