There is nothing like it.
I don't say that as someone who loves doing it. I don't. To me, it is a chore, not a sport. I don't get why people do it who don't have to do it. I love buying meat at the grocery store...even though I know hunting is far more humane a process of harvesting meat. I also like buying beer at the store instead of brewing it.
Everyone who eats meat should do it at least once, though, at a minimum. It is a very different experience. It is nothing like winning a football game, or acing a test. And, I'm sorry, fishing doesn't compare to taking another mammal in a hunt. There is nothing else like it. I would have been interested in his reaction. Can't believe he wrote the article without doing that. Makes me think maybe he chickened out.
