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

Everything in moderation. It's important to find an outdoor hobby you enjoy and make time for when the weather permits and let video games fill gaps when it's bit suitable.
Fishing kicks ass btw.
I will never understand fishing. You just throw the lure in and fucking wait.
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.
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.
Well sure but then I could just meditate without the need for an excuse.
I've meditated in my room and I've meditated on a deer stand. They are not the same.
Deer stand?
A place to sit and watch for deer when hunting them. Often an elevated seat, either on it's own frame or attached to a directly to a tree. It gives the hunter a better vantage point to see the surroundings from. It's amazing just how few critters actually look up. I have seen many wild animals going about their daily business from one. From little birds landing around me to rabbits, raccoons, fox, the odd bear. And ever so often I see a deer. Sometimes I have shot, sometimes I have let them pass freely.
But I find it an excellent place to look inward into myself. It's a far better place to see deeper and more honestly than any room in any building.
Sitting still /= experiencing nature. There's nothing wrong with meditation but it's an unrelated exercise.
I can sit next to a lake without a fiahing rod.
