[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5151837, member: 1409"] For sure, but . . . . . Many don't see the distinction between two "sports", one being "hunting", the other being "shooting". Shooting is periodically a part of successful hunting; while shooting doesn't necessarily involve any hunting. I think of a fenced field of cattle. With the most basic of shooting skills, it would be very easy to just shoot one. The farther you can get away from an experience like just shooting a cow in a fenced field, the closer you get to hunting rather than shooting. Unlike so many farmland, urban, and/or baited shooting sites, you will typically have to "hunt" for any shooting opportunity while deer hunting in a vast wilderness area (which allows hunting). I added "which allows hunting" because "vast" may be a matter of perspective, and many indeed "vast" wilderness areas do not allow hunting, and we often find the deer in those areas about as "tame" as a farmer's cattle. Good example would be if one of us went inside the Smoky Mountain National Park to Cade's Cove (or anywhere close to that cove's perimeter) to shoot a deer (as wouldn't exactly be "hunting" as much as would be "shooting").
