      Aye, I would probably respect a hunter if he killed a grizzly or Buffalo with a handful knives in CQB. Never understood where the “thrill” is in just shooting something from afar. Especially some"thing" that’s inherently more valuable than the hunter.

        I don’t hunt. Don’t care for it, had no possibility to either.

        But, we as a species have had thousands of years where the man went out to hunt for food for his family. This instinct is still there, even though it is no longer necessary. But I’d imagine that is the reason that hunters hunt. It’s an activity we have been wired to do.

        Some of us found other ways to “hunt”, like gaming, or chasing work goals, basically anything that will require you to focus for a while on one single thing with a clearly defined goal to get to. But I can imagine if you are raised in family where hunting is still done, it would be easy to pick it up for yourself.

    “The reasons behind the buffalo attack on the trackers remain unclear”.
    This journalist really don’t get the basic correlation of an animal attacking back?
