: when you talk of video games it reminds me of the fact that my granfather hunted when he was younger. He never had video games he lived in Italy and like most other people he hunted, mainly for food because they were so poor. There were no video games yet he still hunted and he passed hunting on to my father who passed it on to me.: If you would like to know what on earth about hunting gets me so jazzed I can't tell you. It is not an experiece which can be described with words. Most of hunting sucks. As a duck hunter waking up in the morning to go into freezing cold weather isn't fun. However when your sitting in a duck blind with your father and a flock of ducks fly overhead it is something incredable.
: You sayed in a different world with different laws this boy could possible enjoy killing humans instead of animals. However hunters don't kill people. If a hunter is brought up right and is taught respect like I was there is no way they would take a human life. Hunters may have the ability to kill people
If it's all about the mystical experience of entering the woods and pitting your natural senses against an animals, together with the benefits of sharing this with your children, and not about killing, as you say, then why kill? Why not stalk the animal with a camera? You still have to get within range to get a decent shot, except with a camera, that shot does not spill blood. Same experience, except without the blood sacrifice.
