..I gave in to that primordial urge found in every men yesterday..the urge to hunt..it was more instinct that anything else, this need to stalk with a gun in hand..and trying to outwit your prey..I supposed, in a way, I have always been a hunter..using skills learned as a kid with a catapult..but a gun in hand gave you power..and a sense of control..nothing settles a man more than when he is hunting..maybe I am linking back to the Pleistocene era..when men are hunters..and hunt in order to mate..
..but yesterday it was a good excuse to get out of the house..to take in the fresh air..work out a sweat and bond with the villagers..it was harvesting time..padi planted from scattering of seeds and harvested with a machine that munched through ripe padi-stalks and shoo-ed the birds away..
..but there was nothing to shoot yesterday..and I went home without firing a single shot..
..but life is like that...you stalked around, gun at ready...and there's nothing to shoot..the next day you are without your gun, they came and wiggle their tails...

Great. I am about to leave a comment on this post. The Word Verification below the comment form reads 'mates'.
What a coincidence!
Oh yes, we men are hunters.
I never like gun. To me it should only be in the hand of the police or army. It a very dangerous weapon to have at home. If one do not have a gun when provoke, got angry/fight the most it would come to a blow but with a gun one could get killed.
That gun may be for hunting but it could also turn into a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands.
Take care.
Many people had urged me to get a gun as a security measure since I live in the jungle, and also to shoot monkeys and wild boars which constantly ravage the farm. But I just cannot imagine myself shooting anything, to hurt or to kill.
That's why I resort to the Rottweiler as guard dog.
