I don't hunt. I've never hunted with any weapon of any kind. Hell, I've never even fired a real gun before. But, to those who have hunted, I pose this question. Say you're out in the woods, hunting a larger animal (a bear, a deer, etc). Have you ever been in a situation where you realized that said animal was putting up a better fight and/or evading your rifle scope a bit better than you expected? Let's say said animal even fought back just a little, providing a real challenge. Did you up your game a little bit, perhaps concentrate less on the 'thrill of the kill' and just make sure you shot said animal before said animal escaped and/or attacked you? Or, realizing that that big bear was a worthy opponent who had won your respect/honor, did you decide to throw down your weapons, strip off your camouflage and engage in a good old-fashioned fistfight with said beast? If so, how did that turn out for you? Just asking...Scott Mendelson
