Why do you hunt?

Answer 1

I hunt because Im nuts .No sane person would be scorned laughed at,Spend all his allowance and vacation days to sit in the rain and cold. Dressed up to look like a bush.waiting for an animal to walk past in range ,right sex ,age species.
Just so that we can miss the shot and do it again the next day.
Im completely insane and love every silly miserable minute of it.
Beats the crap outta work

Answer 2

I go hunting for a number of reasons. First, to leave the world behind me and be some place away from normal life. Second, to be out in God's creation, take in all of the things you cant see in the city or suburbs. Third, continue a long tradition and teach others the same. Forth, eat meat that no one but myself has touched / processed, totally free of man made chemicals. I enjoy the act of hunting, even the days when I don't see whatever I'm hunting for. Just to be out there relearning the things that make us human.

Answer 3

Part of it is for the taste of wild animal meat, part of it is the American tradition of the rifleman, being able to drop a 200+ pound animal over a hundred yards away.

Whatever reasons people give for why they hunt, for me it's still about practicing the stalking and marksmanship skills that made this nation a deadly force on every battlefield we have fought.

Answer 4

The thrill of the chase has been inherited from our primitive ancestors,and is still one of fundamental passions of man.
In this modern era hunting has largely become a social pastime-an opportunity to enjoy the companionship of friends and relatives
and to commune with nature.Yes , and also to revert back to the primitive. the meat we bring home for the family larder, is purely secondary.
This is why I hunt

Answer 5

Personally, I enjoy being in the woods, have seen how proper management of game animals, controlled through hunting, vastly improves the environment, and enjoy eating game meat that has not been subjected to the chemicals and hormones that are pumped into commercially produced meat.

Answer 6

I hunt because it something my family has done for generations and now I carry it on. It is also a thrilling sport or *challenge* the excitement that you don't know whats coming and the feeling that over takes you when your're gettin ready to shoot a deer. It is exciting and fun and deer meat is sooooo good and we get a lot of meat off deer and eat it

Answer 7

I hunt for the fun, but not just that. You are carrying on a millenia old tradition when you hunt and that should never be taken away. The next time you go out in the deer stand you can take the pride knowing you're sharing in what Jim Bridger lived for. Good shooting man.

Answer 8

I have somthing to admit I have been mooching venison off my old man as I was too lazy/broke to get my own deer this year but hey he's got plenty.

I hunt deer for venison or food/pop. control so that the poor deer do not die slowly by collision w/car!

Coons/fur-bearing animals for varmint control and supplemental income.

Clay targets - 'cause they're there!

Next time I am hunting/gathering at my local grocery store I'll think of you!

Answer 9

I hunt because I am a predator, and I am not ashamed of it. Predators in general have their eyes in the front of their heads (like humans do) in order to see the game they are chasing better while animals that are generally prey have their eyes on the sides of their head to give less of a tunnel vision to keep an eye out for predators.

Too many people these days attempt to deny their nature, and too many of them are messed up on drugs and alcohol or in depression. God gave us the look and instincts of predators for a reason and he didn't intend us to deny it.
