I spoke to an older hunter in New Zealand once who said he initially started with a view like yours. He was into rifle marksmanship, and didn't see the point in shooting at a live target.
He had a friend who said it was harder than he thought, and invited him to come along sometime and see if he found it easy. Of course he went out, and even when lead in the direction of the deer couldn't manage to get one.
After that he was hooked. He had a similar story about eating the offal from the deer, and now thinks it's among the best bits.
- agumonkey 8y agoIt might not be trivial but it's infinitely easier. The speed and energy, the range ..
- exclusiv 8y agoI've seen it surprisingly easy. I went on a deer hunt in Texas and the ranch owner had all these automatic feeders that ring a bell when they drop the feed. So the deer just show up on cue and they had blinds all over the property. More like target practice than hunting in my opinion. They did get a ton of game management tags and they were really targeting the non-typical deer (ones with messed up racks). So it was a sad kind of "hunting" but did seem to serve a purpose.
