Welcome to Gaia! ::

I like hunting and fishing when it is to eat and use the animal in question. I don't like catch and release - as my dad calls it, harass and release. Though, a bit of it seems inevitable as there is usually some sort of fish in the water that you're not allowed to catch that might bite. I think meat is important to a human's diet, therefore it should be fine to catch your own food. But you know, be responsible. Don't deplete stuff - duh.

Haha, it would probably take a while to perfect it. I think that finding the trout and getting your hand close enough without being detected would be the hardest part. XD

Lady Lagomorph- it's not so much getting excited about killing as it is getting excited about being successful. That may seem like a paltry distinction but there it is nevertheless. I personally do not get excited about the kill when I hunt, but I do get excited about having a week's worth of meat in the fridge. Or whatever the goal of a particular hunt is.
People hunt and appreciate hunting for a wide variety of reasons. 3nodding

Honestly I think it's cruel to go hook a bunch of wild fish. I know I wouldn't like it if somebody did the same to me...

However, If you want to eat fish (I personally don't eat any meat or animal products, except the eggs my chickens produce, because I'm 100% sure that they're happy and healthy and doing all that natural chicken stuff), I think it is better to fish that way. Much better then a whole school of fish be caught in a net with a bunch of other fish as well, or buying farmed fish.
