[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1004121, member: 30671"] Thanks for the answer, I'm also just trying to understand. I don't think of it as fair chase or sporting, it's pest control. A certain amount of the appeal to me is probably due to the fact it's neither one of these. It looks like unrestrained fun. I've started youngsters on a hog hunt that wasn't as wild as maybe they thought (read canned) but it gave them an experience to build on. In the spring I hope to take a couple of kids to shoot rats, purely for the marksmanship experience. Some folks kill bison for the meat, and take a time to have an experience that connects with something pretty old-filling a freezer for the family. I understand back when the reservation system started, and cattle were issued, some chose to kill them from horseback, nothing about practical in it, but it filled a need to connect with something old. At our core we're predators, if it runs we chase it. I think there is a place in our head that for even a few seconds likes being turned loose. It doesn't have to make sense, I'd love to take a Nantucket sleigh ride, run a couple of thousand buffalo over a cliff. Instead I scour the regulations, apply for permits I'll never draw, take kids to hunter safety courses, and try to stay within the accepted social norm. In its place and time helicopter, and night vision can be just fun. I'm betting we could hog hunt by your rules and have a great time. There are lots of ways and reasons to do things none, satisfy everyone. [/QUOTE]
