There must be something wrong with me.....
I used to hunt all sorts of things day in and day out...always used the meat.... Never killed for the enjoyment. I
never liked killing and do not get any kicks by it...
I gave up powder guns because I saw way to much of this kind of non-sense... people hunting and shooting deer
and then not wanting the meat and would actually leave them because they were to small... People run off to buy new guns and only hunt with them for season and then sell them...
I lost a lot of hunting land because farmers would rent their land out for the season.... so I was not able to hunt on this land...
I started hunting public land..... the things I saw and the disrespect for life turned me away from hunting with powder burning...
I hunt for the hunt and not for the kill..... I have always killed but never enjoyed it...How people enjoy this is puzzling to me...
I will not and wouldn't hunt with people like this...... gangs of 25 driving the woods to chase deer out...
And they call this hunting.... give me a break...
The only hunting I do now is all squirrel.... I enjoy the hunt and the woods and the skill it takes to get one with an air gun...
But.... I am puzzled....
Many times this year and this happened just last night ... I had a squirrel in my sights .... no doubt a perfect head shot...
But, the squirrel was only 20 yards away and very unaware I was there... 20 yards is nothing to me now...
I did not shoot the squirrel and watched it take off.... Puzzled at myself.... wondering what is wrong with me...
I actually enjoy the hunt where the squirrel knows I am there and peaking out at me... also I like the longer shoots that take skill
but still at acceptable range for the gun.... and / or I like the squirrel that runs off sneaks back ... knowing I am there ... and is about 30 yards and thinks he is getting away with something ... hunting is called a sport for a reason..
