I have jumped out of airplanes young lady... 65 times (22 AT NIGHT!).. the last one broke my hip and right femur.
Bungee jumping is for nimrods and cheap thrill seekers. There is no skill involved in it... none.
Fun is reading a good book, playing kickball with my son or having a tickle-fight with my wife.
When I'm hunting my soul and mind are at peace... I don't always (in fact I very seldom) kill, the object for me is to be a part of the living system that is nigh on impossible for modern man. I'm not a vegan, so being a herbivore isn't my bag... so I hunt.
You have never done it... you will never understand. You could try moving meditation like Tai-Chi, and that might get you close.
I do however agree with your points about "canned' hunts and other "unsportsman like" hunting practices, but there are many of us who hunt because it fills and satisfies our lives and spririts on many levels.

I also like a good backstrap cutlet and the Super Bowl just isn't the same without venison summer sausage that I harvested my self.

Venison summer sausage does not last too long when it is anywhere near me. Love that stuff almost as much as venison chili-(which I can't eat much of anymore, because I always eat way too much)
