I go hunting every year, and before all you cry baby pansies start up, listen. It is because of hunter that there are even animals like Elk and Deer left in the US. The "White Man" has managed to screw the balance of nature up so badly that we have hreds (thats a large group if you don't know) of wild animals dying from the equlivant of hoof and mouth disease. Makes one think. Anyway, I go with my Father and Brothers each year. I truly enjoy going and every year I hope that I don't get and elk or a deer. Why you ask? simple really, we hike into the mountains of colorado 4 to 8 miles each day. A small elk weights upward of 1000 lbs. This means that if I kill one, I have to carry it out. That sucks (done it a few times) and tends to ruin the hunt. So I shoot more with a camera than a gun these days, but i'll see what next year brings. I can say that the view cannot be beat.
