Dakota. You don't have to carry a rifle to "hunt". You can always take a camera. I have hunted for years but shoot more and more with a camera, and those photos/videos preserve the memories far better and longer than my memory! And photos are a lot lighter to carry out than meat.
Believe me it takes as much skill to get good pictures as it does to hunt to kill - you have to stalk that much closer unless you want to carry a super megazoom lens around with you.
