I have hit golf balls ,does that make me a golfer?
Did Jimmy Houston shooting a drugged deer in a pen qualify him as a hunter?

RE: Can "Hunting" be defined?
I honestly dont care as long as its legal.
If I had a bait stand out and could shoot Bucks, or does. I would shoot um.
If I didnt have that available Id stalk etc.
I'm not out to impress im out to enjoy.
Im out to enjoy myself... I enjoy shooting deer dont matter how long as its legal.
My definition of hunting my vary from some as do others... I say if ya enjoy it and you consider it hunting more power to ya.

So in your mind the man who does a goggle search for trophy white tail ,borrows his brother in laws dads gun,drives seventy mile to the address his tom tom led him to,swipes his visa card hits the credit & OK buttons and is led out the back door to shoot "Fred" the bottle fed buck is in your eye the same hunter assay Rob .

. We're not comapring hunters, here. But in its most basic interpretation.....YES. He and Rob are both "Hunters".Janet Reno and Pam Anderson are both "women".

You seem to enjoy comparing all of us hunters to the lowest common denominator , I myself strive to associate with hunters with some what higher standards.
And I'm pretty sure Janet Reno was not born a woman.[:-]

Can we say what "hunting" is FOR someone else? Can we define what it is, to them?

RE: Can "Hunting" be defined?
Again....I'm not comparing hunters.
I'm comparing nothing.You've twisted the thread to your own liking. I'm saying whatyou think you're doing when you go hunting.....and what the guy you described isdoing.....are BOTH hunting (in your own, individual minds).
For anyone to condescendingly dismiss another's definition of whathunting is to that person......is kinda pitiful.

RE: Can "Hunting" be defined?
In this case I'm am quite proud to be as you say "kinda Pitiful"
It's the same principle as the fawn threads. We have one hunter condescending to and belittling another hunter for the taking of legal game in a legal manner.
It's not enough for you to have a dissenting opinion. You have to make it known that the guy doing it differently from you has no morals or ethics. And what has he really done.....other than hunt legally and ethically?
Nothing.
