Following the ascent of Man, the ancesters lived out of doors under the stars, fought and hunted with pointed sticks and rocks, and initially took shelter in trees and caves.  Later Man made crude shelters and later still he domesticated himself for the purpose of procreation.  We all know where the proverbial "Dog House" is...and "Don't forget to wipe your muddy shoes off at the door Mister!"

Historically, survival of the fittest dictated "Might is Right".  Since matter and energy are neither created nor destroyed, anchestrial energy is alive today in each of us.  How soon do we fall into the "old ways" when the modern world "breaks down"?

Living with that energy is what powers us into the "Pursuit of Happiness".  Sticks and rocks have been replaced with guns and knives, but the "game" remains the same...(double meaning!).

It is called Adrenaline!!!! :wink:   We get to experience it all year long rather than just deer rifle/bow season once or twice.
