I like to get out and about as it tests my skills, makes use of them. Hunting, or culling as I do on the farm, is more than just shooting things for me, in fact that's the least of it. I enjoy the skills; Finding signs, tracking, the stalk and all. Then of course the camping nature of it, not complicated, just simple camps that seem to make me feel a little more grounded and close to my true self, the human inside. It's enjoyable.
Yes, that was what we did with the coyotes. We found a nice little place to setup camp and then we had an old walkman with a really long wire to a speaker. We played the call of a wounded rabbit to try to lure them in, but they must have been on a different part of the property that night. These days I am more of a fisherman and camper for pretty much the same reasons you enjoy hunting.
I'm happy to do anything in the outdoors, not just hunting. I just feel so much better when out there in some remote place. It's peaceful.
I totally agree!
