I lean toward “efficient entertainment”, but I do sometimes wonder what that chunk of my free time would look like otherwise.

I think hunting and fishing are mostly an excuse for meditation or hanging out with friends. I have some family members in hunting/fishing geographies and they never seem to care whether they actually catch anything.

Well sure but then I could just meditate without the need for an excuse.

Sitting still /= experiencing nature. There’s nothing wrong with meditation but it’s an unrelated exercise.

I’ve meditated in my room and I’ve meditated on a deer stand. They are not the same.

Yep. They have reached the understanding of what it means being a hunter/fisherman. While it’s nice to bring home something to eat, it’s not a necessary. It’s the memories of that day that matter the most.
