Both of our fathers hunted some in Missouri and we both went with them on local hunts, mostly for turkeys. Neither of us particularly enjoyed killing animals when we were young. I lost any enthusiasm for killing during the Vietnam war and haven't shot a living thing since then. I got in to target shooting about 25 years ago. I mostly enjoy gunsmithing, ballistics, and long range target shooting. Where I live now has deer, black bear, javelina, and some mountain lions. My property is surrounded by the Coconino Mational Forest where I can legally hunt, but there would be no sport for me in shooting them. I enjoy the animals more alive than dead.
