And I could make up my own thrill of the hunt stories...

trust me, you won't me "making them up".
you'll have the Real McCoy stories to tell,
complete with photos.

best investments i've made have been in a good camera
and an annual pass to the provincial parks
and another for all of the conservation areas
in my region.

as for how you feel after shooting,
i obviously can't speak for everyone,
but i'd rather be looking at photos of wildlife
than having to skin and dress them (i've actually
done a bit of that for other people, but it's
not my favourite way of spending an afternoon
or evening).
the closest i come to being around dead wildlife
is in photographing roadkills for a collection that
i use as a commentary on how and where we build roads.
i really don't enjoy shooting such photos, but i think
they speak volumes on what we're doing
to wildlife habitat. If they make people stop to think,
then it's been worth the effort.
