I was reading Travis's article about the young author, Andrew Wible.  It got me thinking, why do we hunt?  What get's you out there at 4am, dressed in camo freezing your tail off but excited to have the cance to be there. 

I think there are as many reasons as there are hunters.  For me each time, each year may bring a different reason.  I started out going to spend time and bond with my in laws, I wasn't a hunter before I married into the family.  I love the spiritual side of it.  Seeing such beautiful country and knowing that God's hand created it, that his blessing allowed me to enjoy it.  I enjoy the challenge of the hunt.  I enjoy getting out for so many reasons but bottom line if you took away all the other reasons the one thing that would keep me out there is the time spending with good friends and family.  I love a lot about hunting but with out friends and family to share it with it would loose it's appeal.

So what are you addicted?  What makes you do insane things in an effort to bag your animal?

I hunt because growing up I was taught that it is only way to feed your family. Buying meat in a store was for thanksgiving, christmas and easter. We grew up hunting with my dad and grandpa and ate everything we got. We then bought a guideoutfit and a trapline and some of the huting became for trophies and a living as well, but we always eat the meat, and if we get more than we can eat in a year we donate it to the needy families in our local area, and they really appreciate it. For us it is not only the thrill of the hunt, and being in the outdoors and getting the biggest buck, it is just a way of life that is fast dying to alot of the "civilized" world but for us it is just another way we provide for our family, and make sure that the next generations to come can provide for theirs the way its been done for thousands of years.
