. . . shooting animals isn’t thrilling. It’s food.

I'm not finding any thrill in hunting either, and I don't look for a thrill. My typical hunt involves showing up at a location where I know deer typically congregate at the time they typically congregate there, quietly moving into a position in less than a half hour while waiting for sunrise and deer to arrive, and then taking one shot. More than 90% of meat for my family is venison (or trout/bass/rockfish), and that's why I hunt and (part of why I) fish. So far I've lost a lot of fish but haven't missed with an arrow or needed a second shot even once. As for following a blood trail, I've only once had to go more than 100 yards, and that wasn't much more.

So... Is it enjoyable for you when that 8 lb. channel cat decides to hit your bluegill (light) rig? ;-)

One thing is for sure: Most any angler who has used stinky / messy bait of some sort very often has likely acquired the “skills” needed to not touch one’s face in potential virus contamination situations...
