Actually all of the available answers are a part of the experience that keeps me going back. However, the greatest lure for me seems to be a connection with the natureal world. Not from a hunter-gatherer perspective, but just being a part of it all. I do quite a bit of solo hunting or just with my dog and there is just something about seeing a march come alive in the predawn morning or tromping across a snow covered field. It’s always a bonus to bring home food for the family, but the price paid per pound of game due to gear, gas, licenses, etc. doesn’t make it a prime driver.
So true, Mark. It’s astounding to me how many people I interview on my radio show who begin their reason with a dawn/morning reference!
It’s for the challenge of the prey and the location in witch they draw me that keeps me coming back season after season. The dog that work’s all year long just to get it right for me to admire. The travels with friends are never that long to make a trip not worthy of doing it time and time again. Thats why I go.
We are, after all, social animals. Which to you and me means the way we interact with other animals.
