I am fully aware it takes practice and skill to hit anything at range.I am excited when i hit the bulls eye with an air gun.No such feeling when i hit a living thing.If anyone does feel happy/excited/thrilled when they kill a living thing, so be it.I don't care for it.
If you don't care then stay out of hunting threads. hunters hunt because they like it, you don't so stay out of it.

I don't care for the feeling of a hunt.However, knowing how to hunt and fish is essential knowledge.I shall read what i please, thank you.
I would rather hit my target gently than miss hard.

1. If you dont care for the feeling of a hunt, dont comment here. It just detracts attention away from a nice thread in the hunting section.
2. You say hunting and fishing are essential knowledge. Do you do either? We can still hunt crows and rats(
) the basics can be learnt. What about fishing?

Regarding 1, please read above.
Regarding 2 - No i have not found suitable instruction in the art.I can clean them and make a mean fish fry.Why don't you come down and we can do both?
.An avid angler lives a way off from my place.If only i could get some show and tell....
