You make yourself sound like you should be on the "great outdoors". Do you know a fellow by the last name Mathews who hunts for Cabellas? I know him and you and him sound like you should get together.
My opinion.....I enjoy paintball and hunting. I play paintball more often, but I hunt every chance I can get.

As far as hunting,much of my family are pretty serious hunters.I'm originally from NewYork,and many in my family are in upstate NY.There is excellent hunting opportunities there up to Canada and south to Virginia and the Carolinas in less than a days drive. My uncle and his partner also have land in Montana that they and sometimes I Vacation to once a year or so(and I do occasional join the Hunt). However,I'm definitly no pro hunter,but I've been shooting firearms both for fun and in competition (handguns,precision rifle)for 15-20 years.When I was first introduced to hunting I thought it was fun,but there were long strings between "hunting" and actually shooting.I learned to hunt with very experienced hunters so there was never a question of whether or not you'll shoot something just what and how big it will be.I soon realized that I much prefered shooting and decided to focus my efforts there.As far as Archery,I always had an interest there.It seemed that Bow Hunting might be more fun but I had the same problem.I'd rather be shooting than "hunting".I guess the deal with me is I know I can hit whatever I'm aiming at so I don't get the big rush from hunting and I'm not pressured to "make the shot" also,the vital area required to kill a deer is fairly large compared to most other "targets" so again,I'm not challengeg. The only real challenge is knowing the area and behavior of the animal the rest is planning and waiting.
Now since I'm married w/ child, I don't don't do either as much as I'd like to but I have a nice local Archery Club w/ 3D shoots pretty regular around our county and with younger brothers,friends and kids there is Paintball.I just prefer the fast paced action of paintball,kill or be killed,move or die,blah blah balh.
So basically that's it. I'm just tired of hearing you guys say that everyone who doesn't feel like you do,don't know what thier talking about because I do and I have my own feelings about it.I NEVER said you guys shouldn't enjoy hunting,if you do,thats great,just don't feel you have to convince everyone else to feel the same way.
Jay.
