why did atticus give up hunting
Miss Maudie later tells Jem and Scout that Atticus gave up hunting long ago because he felt that his natural talent for shooting gave him an unfair advantage over most living things.. Jem is delighted.Atticus is a gentleman, just like me!.em and Scout have always been bothered by the fact that Atticus is much older than the fathers of their friends. What's more, Atticus doesn't do any of the things that the other fathers seem to enjoy.
