The more I reflected on this question the harder it became. I wish I could say that we survive on the meat but if that was the case I would use the easiest means for obtaining said meat, and that would be a rifle (or cruise missle which are hard to come by).
If it was just experiencing nature I could do that at anytime carrying nothing more than a camera and a bottle of water.
I hunt to be a participant in life not just an observer.
To accept that I am a predator and experience the wild as a part of it not as a bystander.
I choose traditional equipment for its simplistic grace,and I am ill equiped with minimal fangs and nonexsitant claws to do the job.
I hunt, not because its what i do, but rather who I am.
