Do you know what would make a great trophy, a great story and make you feel like a bad ass? Hunting one of these animals down with a knife or similar hand weapon. Heck, even a bow and arrow is better. To me, getting within 100 yards of and animal that can't see you and essentially pushing a button to kill it isn't much for "sport", it's like a man beating a child. David vs. Goliath every time. Shoot at a target or a skeet.
I agree for the most part. I certainly could do any of this rifle or not and it does take a huge element of patience, skill and yeah courage to hunt. Hunting is mostly a sport that tests the hunter. The hunted are not supposed to 'win'.
