My truck has 115,000 miles on it and is a 99'. I don't own a boat, camper, rolex or deer farm. My house is almost 40 yrs old. I live within my means but to do that I have to have a JOB. I don't see where I am bad mouthing anyone or making any excuses. You seem to be the one bad mouthing those that won't quit their job to hunt "trophys" or ignore their children so they can spend more time hunting.
How can you say that it is BS when I say I need to devote time to my job and my family? You know, I liked your book I just said it didn't really address my real world and now you seem to have your panties in a knot. Well Don, unlike you I prefer to raise my children and not leave that up to their mother or someone else. Now go and blow your "real world desire" smoke up someone else's ass.
Hey Bruce, nice to meet you. I didnt realize that you live in my house and are so familiar with my family relationships, job status and bank account. I guess my generalized statement hit a little too close to home. Sorry, it really wasnt meant that way. I was just trying to make a point about how each of us has different priorities once we get past the OBVIOUS ONE OF OUR FAMILIES. I didnt realize that you had given up all other interests BESIDES YOUR FAMILYto hunt.AGAIN, MY WAY ISNT THE ONLY WAY OR THE RIGHT WAY, WE ALL HAVE TO DECIDE FOR OURSELVES WHAT MAKES US HAPPY. MY CHOICES DONT MAKE ME ANY BETTER OR WORSE THAN YOURS MAKES YOU. JUST QUIT MAKING EXCUSES WHEN IN THE LONG RUN WE ARE EACH GOING TO GET OUT OF HUNTING WHAT WE PUT INTO IT. IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT THEN "GREAT FOR YOU"
