We hunt and kill because we want to go back, consciously or otherwise, to a time when we went to woods and water for food. The guns we carried were simpler, too, no clickety-clacks and push-button scope rangefinders, just doubles for feathers generally. Why else old hardware store guns in our pantheon of the greats? They're what our forefathers used, not Purdeys or A&Ns. I'm sort of a dinosaur compared to most others in my community, beating myself up roughing it when there are more comfortable and productive things to do. Looking around, when I'm gone before too long most of this will be, too. Our disappearance will be reflected upon as were the dinosaurs.
