Nope. But at some point, in my opinion, there is a line between hunting and simply shooting and simply killing. Be it a high powered rifle, shotgun, crossbow or bow, a guy that picks one up one and then simply goes out and shoots the first thing that they see, simply went hunting and in that sense he was really hunting as a hunter. But, I believe there is a significant difference between that type of hunter and someone who engages throughout the year, targets a specific animal or two and then seeks to harvest them. My comments aren't intended to be critical, although I'm sure some will wish to make them such. Hunting can be accomplished by the use of all sorts of weapons, including the hand grenade. But again, do I believe there is different kinds of hunting and different kinds of hunters, yes I do. As I said in another post, I will really trap this year but in my own definition of being a real trapper, that being someone who engages, analyzes and specifically pursues, I certainly wouldn't consider myself a real trapper. I don't get offended by others opinions or beliefs whether I agree with them or not. And I'm not one who would get offended if someone said I wasn't a "real" deer hunter, duck hunter, turkey hunter, fisherman or whatever else. Everyone defines it differently. But as I would define the use of "real" in front of the word deer hunter, I don't believe many if not most guys who go to the field are "real" deer hunters, even though they are really deer hunting. No differently then if I played football today, I wouldn't consider myself a "real" football player.
