A very true statement indeed Brother Skeet. I went from deer hunter (for 30 some years) to deer photographer and never looked back again and as for me... I get way more satisfaction out of knowing that I could have taken the deer's life... but instead took a picture only... and that he or she is still alive and well. Don't get me wrong: I don't have any problems with hunting in any way shape or form and I still get the notion to go every once and a while... and may go again some day. I do have a problem (however) with shooters who are only interested in amassing body counts; and who show little regard, respect or humility for the lives of those beautiful creatures they are mindlessly snuffing out.
