When I was in college and on a budget barely making ends meet, part of it was about the meat.
For a few years after that, it was about the horns.
Now it's about leaving the herd in better shape than I found it. Sounds corny, I know, but I actually enjoy the management aspect of hunting more than anything else at this point in my life. I rarely eat the meat since I've started elk hunting- now with elk it IS about the meat!

I'm not worked up. In fact the meds are working pretty well. But this about the 20th thread on this subject in the last few weeks. We just keep rehashing the same thing...meat/horns...age...1-2-3 bucks etc.
Why can't we talk about women and sex?

I can still talk about it. I haven't lost that much of my memory. In fact, just this morning, I asked Jeanne, where the *&^% are my socks.
She then pointed out, I was wearing them.

Meat is part of it.Healthy meat is alot of it.
I really think it is something in our blood.A survival instinct from caveman days. When people were hunters and gathers.The same instinct that makes us plant a garden when you can go to the store and buy veggies.

What are "women and sex?" Sounds familiar... Perhaps something from my long distant past...

I couldn't agree more. In fact when asked by non-hunters why I hunt, instead of giving a complicated answer about managing the herds and conservation, I tell the truth; I hunt because it answers some sort of ancient drive I have to hunt and provide. I can't put it into words, but I know personally doing the hunting, killing, butchering, cooking and eating myself is the only way to scratch that ancient itch, and nothing (short of sex--another ancient instinct) feels better or more deeply satisify. Nothing feels more "right" than hunting and providing.
