I understood little about what it meant to hunt. Hunting is not about sitting in wait to end an animal's life; however, it is about experiencing nature at a primal level while being able to see nature awaken from its slumber, slowly coming back to life as the sun shyly peeks of the horizon, and other details we normally cannot as we go about our daily lives. In an office or at home, I do not get to watch a squirrel gracefully hop from one limb to another, and cannot have one close enough to see it's chest move from it breathing hastily. Killing is the last thing on my mind when hunting because it is merely a necessity to take part in population management of whitetail deer, squirrels, and many other game animals down so my grandchildren can enjoy
