PW, there is a very huge difference between a hunter and someone who is shooting deer. A hunter respects the land, the hunt and the harvest, while someone who is just a shooter, is out to to enlarge their ego and is out just for the kill. The latter is normally the loud mouth you hear boasting about the small spike that he shot while sitting next to some odd spot and swearing it is a state record and how the animal's rack scored on the Pope and Young. People with attitudes such as this give hunters a bad name. Only a few ruin it for the rest of the sportsmen(women). I come from a family of hunters and spent many days among the trees or in boat hunting duck, deer and small game. Even though I don't hunt as much as I use to because life is along a different road at the moment, I still manage to shoot a minimum of three hundred rounds a week. 45 ACP, 9mm, and 357 magnum are on my menu. Handguns are and have always been a favorite. I was introduced to pistols at a young age of eleven. My uncle placed a Colt 1911 in my hands and I was hooked! I just recently purchase a Browning Citori 525 Field in 28 gauge to return back to my most loved sport - upland hunting. I still have my Belgium Browning Auto-5 which I may use once again to bring down a few ducks in the state's cold water. I have a different respect for firearms and hunting because I wasn't influenced by television and video games, I associate shooting and hunting with great times and moments spent with family and friends.
Are you sure about that?
