Miller,
My point was that since hunting as we know it, is done for enjoyment only and as such, each person seeking that enjoyment is best qualified to judge whether or not they are getting inferior or superior enjoyment. Some get their enjoyment out of watching their dogs work, some from collecting large quantities of game, some from shooting particular guns. All the same thing: the pursuit of enjoyment.
To say we hunt for enjoyment wouldn't that be saying we enjoy the kill ?....an assassin enjoys the kill never a true hunter.
It's the chase....which I think a big part of is lost in the game farm shuffle.
I've never been to one. I might reach a point in life when I need a fast forward diversion...just not yet.
Looks like you didn't read the quote from Chuck that you posted. He listed several of the different ways hunters can find enjoyment.
A day hunting is a day of enjoyment for me, whether I "assassinate" any game or not.
Your post reads like you think hunting renewable game is the same as murdering a human being. Surely hope I took it wrong.
I do, however, enjoy "assassinating" prairie rats by the hundreds, on my yearly trip to Wyoming. I also enjoy being out in that beautiful country, making good shots and just seeing the varmints fly up in the air.
