though over the last ten years killing started to be not what I wanted to do like a number of my shooting friends, some how this way of thinking does seem come with age. So I use it as often as I can though now only for clay shooting with felt wad 1oz
I can see the attraction of hunting, especially with good dogs, friends and family. However, for me, the killing part makes it a no go.
To each his own
I wonder if that was true of the men who originally bought and used these guns we hold so dearly, or if it is more of a modern thought that is a result of our "more civilized" society? ("more civilized" is used sarcastically here)
I cannot imagine my becoming so put off by killing a game bird that I no longer shoot doves or hunt ducks. I
can see how the effort required to do so in our winter years may take a bit of the joy out of it, but that is another subject entirely.
As you put it, BM, to each his own.
