Most of the folks on this thread acquired their skills for hunting. And like me hunted to put some food on the table not because we liked killing anything. A real hunter doesn't want to wound a deer they want to kill it for food. When no one in my family wanted venison any more and I was the only one eating the deer, I quit hunting .. A deer when I was growing up was a valuable source of food ... My neck of the woods kids learned firearm skills before they knew how to ride a bike ... Schools still close on the first day of deer season back home...I also have never met a "real" hunter that enjoyed killing any deer, they enjoyed putting food on the table.
