Ted:

The difference between bird hunting and deer hunting is surprisingly vast and I approach each with a very different mind set.

Considering that both are doing essentially the same thing (highly evolved food gathering) I can't fully explain why. Sitting here this AM processing my share of a small cow elk should be a clue I suppose, but there you have it. I'd have to say that I take the large game hunting more seriously somehow, as it has supplied a big chunk of my primary protein needs for so-long now.

Perhaps I see bird hunting as more "fun" and bigger game as more "serious"? No matter, elk steaks at grouse camp next year.
