Am both and have been for a lot of years, but recently have become more of a competetive shooter and less of a hunter and pilot. "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading". | |||

Both I used to hunt professionally and now do it only as a sport. I used to fly as a sport but have been doing it professionally for the last 23 years. Now I can't really afford to do either as a sport!!  But I do it anyway.  | |||

Retired pilot, grounded due to physical stuff, and still a hunter. | |||

Both. Haven't flown in years, but have (had) PP license. 30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking. | |||

Both. Private pilot-sport hunter. Sometimes fly to good hunting in wilderness areas. Idaho has good country and some good hunting but has become unwelcoming to non-resident hunters. So, less flying and more hunting. ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

Been flying for a living if you can call it that for 36 years or so, I been a big game hunter for some 46 years now. I even shoot waterfowl and upland game with a shotgun. Why is it that far to many of us have piss poor careers and such expensive hobbies? | |||

The ironic tragedy is that it seems you either have to choose between that or working some job you hate then spend your off time stressing about it with your shrink and your heart specialist. for every hour in front of the computer you should have 3 hours outside | |||

I don't have any regrets either, I would have never gotten in as much big game hunting as I have with out flying for a living. The problem with Pilots is that when you hit an certain age, and you are on your fourth big layoff. And you spend a bunch of months taking Flight Logs and duty time sheets and making logbook entries to get caught up, because you have A. nothing to do and b. keeping the boxes in storage is getting expensive. You add the totals in flight time and divide it by the years and hours flown Vs Total Income earned, then subtract from loss businesses (For me it was 9/11) you then get a jaded view of it. Airplanes Helicopers, then you throw in Big Game hunting and rifles. Yep I can't think of a better way of going through life. It helps if you are single. | |||

Both. Hard to say what would be harder to rip from my cold, dead hands, my Ultra Light Arms .257 Roberts or my PA-18-150, Piper Super Cub. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing. The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, and every election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods." -- H. L. Mencken | |||
