For me...it's because I like it!!!
I have rifles and don't shoot them that much.
I'm first a traditional bowhunter and I love that.
I really started getting into handgun hunter because I've have 1 shoulder surgery and 2 elbow surgeries.....ie, NO BOWHUNTING!
I don't feel like I've handicapped myself.
It's still the chase and it's still the stalk!
It doesn't matter if I'm carryin my 6.5x284 Encore or my 45Colt Blackhawk.
Ask yourself...
If it ain't fun....why the hell are you doing it???

I don't harvest animals, I kill them...I don't take a Combine hunting!!!
