I've been hunting a few times, but not for a few years now. I loves it when I get to do it. Getting up early/ walking through the woods with that earliy morning mist all around you. Finally getting a target in your scope, killing it, finding it, gutting it. It's all good to me.
Where I'm from, you're not a man if you've never killed your own game, gutted it, and prepped it for eating.
I say take all of the hippies who don't eat KFC for whatever hippie reason, go out, stick them on an island with nothing but some chickens and a cow and let them live there for two months while they try and prep thier own food. They'll thank every god they know for the modern butcher and the food process we have.
My opinion, Hunting = Awesome.
