Quail Hunting- Art ?
I hear some of my few readers screaming and protesting... Man, how can you kill those beautiful animals ? Stop that ! Yes, you are right. Killing animals should be no sport. But I am a sports fisher too, and a Brown Trout [version1 version 2] is also one of the most beautiful animals in the world, see this painting by Courbet for example. Hunting made humans survive, remember how our ancestors killed mammoths cutting their Achilles heels ? How was your last burger by the way ?
There are lots of pro's and contra's of course on hunting and I am a German in the Caucasus, who active supports wildlife and nature. If you think, still, weird man, thats a sin, than it is. But did you ever tasted a grilled quail ? Thats delicious. Thats the finest meal I can imagine. There is caviar too and trout, but a Georgian quail, thats divine. But is hunting art ?
Sport or crime ?
This quail was just minor hurt, it flew away after some minutes. Excuse me for my black, black fingernails.
Only on the first "Shampuri" are quails, on the other simple shashlyk from pig, also very tasty.

That looks divine! I live with a vegetarian and anytime she cooks, she says "I made enough for you!" Makes me feel too guilty to grill up nice big cuts of meat.

Hans,
I was thinking of this last night, about the hunter and the hunted.
The hunter, possesses a primal instinct and tracks an animal in the pursuit of food. The animal, possesses a primal instinct, reacting with subterfuge for escape. The true hunter walks in the tracks of this subterfuge by instinct. If there is game, the battle will be even.
Walking across the field in a line, with awareness is art.
I believe the most primitive visual responses are Darwinian and based in the prehistory of the hunter-farmer. The time to plant, the time to harvest, winter, the fertile woman, spring, the hiding place, distance, importance, fear, all exist in part as a primal visual response, a primal memory. We can touch this memory, in new ways as art.
