Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Why do we hunt?--and Thanksgiving

I have hunted locally, out west, and later in Alaska and Africa.

Hunting has taken me to places I would never have gone, and let me see things I never would have seen, things that most people living in my crowded metropolitan area cannot even imagine.

To me the wilderness is almost a parallel universe, the real universe. I would have been much poorer for it if I hadn't lived and breathed it. Hunting is the reason for going there. Hunting itself, and the planning and anticipation of it, gives meaning to life.
