Friends Don't Let Friends Hunt Unarmed

A lot of friends of mine have told me they'd like to come hunting sometime, except not take a gun and just bring a camera. I have heard of some old timers who do this on a regular basis and I have nothing against it. For some reason when my non-hunting friends suggest that they want to go out with me gun less it rubs me the wrong way. There may be someone reading this that is a friend of mine and has made this very statement. If so don't get bent out of shape, I not judging anyone. The biggest problem I have with this is it seems like something someone wants to do so they can feel the coolness of hunting and not have to feel bad for killing the animal. This life and death struggle, prey predator relationship is what makes your pulse rise and your body shake uncontrollably with excitement. If you hunt without the intent to kill it’s just not hunting. So now you've heard my take on this, here is what I would like you, my non-hunting friends to do about your camera hunt. Come out with me! I would love to have you at my camp. The food is good and the scenery is better. If you want grill me on how I can justify killing animals the whole time, be my guest. If your a friend of mine just come on out, just make sure you get a hunting license. I'll bring along an extra shotgun or you can use mine if you want;)
