You are quite correct in that other sports can have much more inherent danger than DG hunting but part of DG hunting is the excitement/ability to harvest an animal that you would be helpless to confront unarmed.And yes its that "high powered gun" that puts the odds in your favor.Yet,it is not just the gun but the union of man + weapon that allows the harvest to occur.

It is that challenge that would make me hunt DG. We cannot personally justify the harvest of hunting DG by using the meat, thus we seem to hunt DG for the true sport of the hunt.

That's why man is the ultimate preditor,because he has the will and tenacity to devise objects to give him the edge and harvest any animal he wishes.

Call it "controlled" danger in the harvesting of DG done effeciently but the danger is still present and exists.

Would we all be hunting if there was an extremely high chance of being gravely injured?? Unless we had no alternatives, probably not.

I have no remorse regarding the proper use of "high powered guns", indeed I think they enable me to be a better hunter if I master these tools.The fellows I discussed this with were unimpressed as they left on their tight schedules with their modern supremely efficient tools of business such as cars,laptop computers, cell phones, blackberries, et al.

These dudes dismissed the limitations of man made devices entirely.Its the man+device union that rocks not the components.Hunting DG is an excellent example.
