I find it relaxing to get out in the woods with a single-shot and a pocket of shells. No serious hunting effort - just rambling along soaking up the feel of the natural world and enjoying the sounds and smells.
If I stumble across something and it ends up in the vest pocket it's a bonus, but it isn't the main reason for being out there. I spent many autumn days like that in my youth, and it brings back fond memories.
Keeping things simple and basic definitely has its attractions at times.
