For many professional hunters, they’ve been hunting
for as long as they can remember. Perhaps they developed the skill of hunting
with their parents during summer break; or maybe developed an interest in it by
watching a couple of YouTube videos online.
Whatever transformed them into highly skilled
hunters, one will never know. However, one thing is for certain; from the first
time they picked up that weapon and completed their first successful hunt, they
were never the same.
So what transformed them? Well, it’s a mixture of
thrill, excitement, and exhilaration. Unfortunately, for most of the people
living in suburbia, they have been poisoned to believe that hunting is immoral
and evil; an ancient practice that died with the modernization of man.
Sadly, most people confuse hunting with poaching. In
fact, the US government even regulates hunting to ensure the safety and
security of certain species when their numbers swell, and threaten to imbalance
an entire ecosystem.
That being said, here are some great reasons why
everyone should go hunting at least once in their lives!
Getting
closer with the food
Ask any child in America where they get their food
from, and they will immediately say that they get it from KFC, McDonald’s, or
even the grocery store!
However, when one goes to hunt, they experience the
hunting process from the first process to the last.
That includes everything from how to kill it (that
includes whether the weapon of choice will be an arrow or a rifle), how to pack
its body and carry it back to the house, and how to clean it before it becomes
a nice warm meal!
While the thought of doing this might make some
people sick to their stomach, it certainly helps others appreciate the complexities
involved in getting a decent meal on the table (when the actual sense of it was
not necessarily tied to money).
That being said, if one would like to learn more
about hunting, then StayHunting.com provides plenty of insight and knowledge.
Getting
essential survival knowledge and skills
Does one know how to determine what animal is ahead,
or track it just by looking at the footprints? Perhaps even layout a perfect
trap to lure it out of its hiding place. This is the kind of knowledge that
forefathers had, sans the luxuries of modern technology such as a stove or an
oven.
Yep it was tough back then. Plus it was necessary that everyone knew how to
build a campfire with the most basic of equipment.
When one goes on an extreme hunt, they reconnect
with such ancient methods, and perhaps one of these days, they might come in
handy.
One never knows the day that they get marooned on an
island in the middle of nowhere, or get lost in the forest!
The Peace
and serenity of the wilderness
Ever taken in a deep breath of fresh air free from
the hassle and bustle of city life?
Then there’s nothing sweeter than being miles away from the smell of gasoline,
or the sound of cars racing by the freeway!
That’s exactly the pleasures of hunting. The soft
chirping of birds, and breathtaking scenery!
