a value to kill them, right?
I imagine they were in
their 20s, and I was 15...
let's go up north, go look for
wolves, and go hunt them.
So I had a m-1 carbine,
world war ii vintage
that I got from NRA,
but I was a young boy
expressing my cultural norm,
and if I could go up and kill a wolf,
I would be the hero of my town,
it'd be in the newspaper,
there'd be pictures.
So I went up north with
my friends and looked,
walked through the woods, and... scared.
Scared that I'd see a wolf,
scared that I wouldn't.
I was good shot, and if I saw
Didn't see one, didn't see any tracks.
To me, the ultimate question is,
why do you kill the things you love?
It's a male thing.
Uh, we go back 30,000 years
to the cave paintings
in Glasgow and Southern France.
Picasso said it's the most
beautiful art man's ever created,
we can't even equal that.
They love them, but they killed as
many as they could to eat them.
So it's in our genes, I mean, for
thousands and thousands and thousands
and thousands of years, we hunted.
We forget that sometimes,
I think, in this century.
It wasn't that long ago,
we depended upon
the weapon bow and arrow,
atlatl, spear, gun,
to go out and keep our families alive
and keep ourselves fed.
Well we haven't evolved past that,
we still have that strange
kind of an instinct
we wanna quest, we wanna hunt,
it's very powerful.
Most of the stuff of what we do in life
is a gradual slide into a consciousness,
or a point of view.
where something happens
one day and it changes,
and you meet someone,
you read a book, you watch a movie.
This particular day, I was 14 years old,
up in a state park
near Luverne, Minnesota
where I grew up, and I was a
fox hunter at this point.
I killed fox for a living,
and I liked it.
The most... one of the most
exciting times of my life.
Yet, I love fox.
Outwit them.
Not easy to kill a fox,
they're very smart.
You have to be pretty good
at tracking and watching,
and you have to be a good shot.
But there's a certain point you
evolve somehow, you change.
The camera just happened
to come into my life somehow,
as the artist.
I was up in the blue mountains
with my camera, instead of my gun,
and I saw a fox off in the distance.
Well I learned from an old
friend of mine, Jeff Cooney,
that did the same thing,
how to squeak like a mouse
to make the fox think
there's a free meal,
so I hid behind a rock and went...
The fox came running, I peeked up,
just as the fox came within
maybe 10 feet,
