Go buy a rifle, go find one of those 14 foot monsters and see how easy it is to pull the trigger without shitting your pants. How fast do you think those bears can run? They're pretty fast despite their size. You'd better be quick enough to shoot it a few times while keeping calm enough to aim straight. Keep in mind that if you fail, you're dead meat. Literally.

Hunting is very difficult, there is no death penalty in basketball. You don't need to stalk the quarterback for days before sacking him. There's no such thing as sitting in total silence just waiting for the opportunity to make a kill. It's clearly harder than you think it is.
I have an idea- you want to stalk animals because it's hard? Then do it. And when you find it, take a fucking picture! Show all your friends, tell them how big it was and how scared you were when it looked at you and you thought it would eat your leg off. As a photographer it's just as challenging, but you don't have to kill it to prove how macho you are.

Oh and Sipsake- I will keep an eye out for those charging bull squirrel's next time I'm out taking pictures in the wild!
