Thread Name: BS: Killing for pleasure
Subject: RE: BS: Killing for pleasure
I said I was leaving, but, earlier today, something was triggered in my brain, so I read back...

Slag.... "Having said that, killing for the pleasure of killing is just sick. It's wrong. The pleasure of hunting is not in the killing. The pleasure is the camaraderie of your companions and your dedication to the hunt as well as the satisfaction which comes from the actual hunting and stalking of the creature."

Agreed.

And, that is when I stopped "hunting". I did all of that and even pulled the trigger... of an unloaded gun. I "hunted" for a while with an unloaded gun. Unfortunately, I didn't have the coin to get into some good camera/camcorder equipment but I might after I sell my gun.

For someone who wasn't raised with it, it's hard to understand that part of it, but those who photograph "game" surely must understand it somewhat.
