I can see how people get a thrill from the hunt, stalking prey and such, I quite enjoy stalking players in online games, lining up for the shot and them not knowing what hit them. Of course, the best thing for humans is that animals don't shoot back...

I don't get hunting really either, not on live targets, and yeah, I heard exactly the same thing in pretty much the same condictions this morning. I've even heard them popping away over on the marshes in the pouring rain with a strong wind...I mean...what the heck could they hit in that?
