>>Somehow I see spotting a deer in the distance, sighting on him and shooting him as less of a sport. At least you have to fight the fish to land him. Shooting a deer through the head doesn't seem much like a fight to me. You shoot him, he drops. Big deal.

>If it were that easy, I wouldn't have spent as much time in the woods last week. Actually, I am not a big fan of high powered rifle hunting, or even semiautomatic shotgun deer hunting. To better enjoy the sportsmanship aspect, I hunt deer only with a muzzleloader. I wouldn't mind learning to bow hunt, either. But you probably don't care one bit about my hunting practices, do you? ;-)

Ever consider a camera instead of a gun? I mean if the tracking is where the fun really is.

>>But not shoot him? Jeez, you're no fun at all.

>No, unless he broke into my house and threatened my family. That would be killing. Unless I already detained him and decided to shoot him anyway, that would be murder, and I should get the death penalty. Here we go again!

Are you kidding, I wouldn't touch that with a bargepole, but hey, it is an interesting argument. ;)
