I'm not a hunter. Sometimes I think I would like to learn how to hunt but then the cold weather sets in and the last place I want to be us at a higher elevation, where it is even colder, sitting around waiting for a deer to show up. I think probably the only time I would ever shoot an animal is if I had a gun with me when a bear showed up and he was very hungry. The same with a mountain lion. But I wouldn't just shoot them because I saw them, it would only shoot them if they looked at me like I was a yummy snack.
