What does hunting mean to you?

Not long ago I shared this poll which asked about why you hunt. I was curious as to how many of you would answer and suspected many would say it was about the experience.
It wasn’t easy to limit the choices to create the poll so I thank those of you who opted for “other” and filled in your motivations.
I think I’ve felt all of these, listed, at some point or another, well, except the “Everything because I’m a Navy SEAL” one. I’m not and never have been a SEAL, but I do thank you, immensely, for your service.
How about you all? Would you add anything to this list?
