Re: Can Someone Explain Hunting to Me?

I grew up in Wisconsin and hunted as a young man, as all WI youths do.

At least with archery there's some technique involved. But gun hunting is a joke.

Depends how you do it, I guess. We have to use scents and calls to attract em and then you still have to account for some things (wind, shrubs that could deflect the shot, etc). Some of our rifles don't have scopes.
Last time we got deer while hunting (3 years ago I believe), my grandpa took two deer in one spot, one of them on the run after the first one went down. Pretty impressive for a guy who's in his 70's using a .30-06 bolt action with no scope.
Re: Andy's OP, I don't know any hunters who don't either eat what they shoot themselves or donate it to charities. I would probably look down on a hunter that just killed animals for sport and then did nothing with the carcass, as would, I think, most hunters.
