Never got into hunting, even though my Dad loved it and so did my brother and I love shooting.
Something about being hunted in the military sort of takes the thrill out of pitting your wits against an animal. That, and I never thought it was sporting. It's not like in most cases, you're hunting something that could off you as easily.
Now, my Uncles went tiger hunting in Burma with Tommy guns in WW2. That, I think, was sporting as a tiger could easily have gotten the drop on them. Or Inuits going after Polar Bears on an ice flown armed only with a knife? Yeah, THAT is sporting.
But spending tens of thousands of dollars on gear used to wait for a deer to walk across your path or pit your wits again a fish, that seems downright silly to me as it's just not sporting at all, the way I see it.
