First let me say that this question is more of a post because it can generate alot of feedback. But to answer the question, hunting to me isnt just a thing to do with spare time, its something much bigger.

IF YOU WERE TO CUT ME, I WOULD BLEED THE OUTDOORS!

After family, everything. Cliche, but true. The worst day in the woods is better than the best day at work. Nothing like being in the woods whether in a tree or on the ground. Just watching nature at its best. Seeing that majestic buck, bull, etc. come into range. The thrill of the chase. The moments after the harvest. The lifetime of memories that can be accumulated in just 1 season. Hunting with family. The cheer joy of youngster taking his/her first animal. I wiil stop here for I could go on for along time.

If I was unable to hunt or fish or do anything outdoors, I would surely die. Their is nothing other than family that comes before hunting. I absolutely love the adrenaline and exhitement of the whole hunting experience.

Hunting is "LIFE".

Hunting to me is not necessarily killing an animal but just getting out in the woods, enjoying nature, and knowing that there is the possibility of seeing something truly amazing.

Appreciating the great outdoors, getting exercise, getting away from the daily grind and food for my family.

WHAT DOES HUNTING MEAN TO ME? WELL IN A NUT SHELL ITS EVERY THING!IM AT MY BEST WHEN IM OUTDOORS HUNTING/FISHING.LESS STRESSED,MORE FOCUSED,SEEING THE SEASONS CHANGE, BEING PART OF IT ALL.HUNTING MAKES ME A BETTER PERSON.
