RE: Jack of all trades or master of one?
Definitely not a jack of all trades. I'm no fisherman.Hate motorsports, not a survivalist (although I'm sure I'd never starve to death or die from exposure in the woods), and definitely not a small game hunter.
So, I'd like to think of myself as a master of a few...
[ul][*]Whitetail Hunting/scouting.[*]Picking/growing wild ginseng. Before I die, I'd like to own/operate a wild cultivated ginseng farm - as a hobby[*]Turkey hunting. I'd like to perfectthe mouthcall and eventually compete in a national calling championship- just to see how I match up against the best of the best.[*]Zealous conservationist.[/ul]
I also got pretty wrapped up in long range riflery. I'd eventually like to build a custom rifle and get serious about shooting big game at long range (600-1000 yards). I have no desires to dabble in gunsmithing- would leave that to the pros - but I know what I wantin a rifle, and how I want it built-but just don't have the money to blow on it yet. Along with all the peripherals (great spotting scope, top-end laser rf).For now, I'm relegated to a custom-job .22-250 and varmints.
I also think that I could really get into saltwater big game fishing. But, that requires more blingblingthan I'm working with right now. Freshwater fishing just doesn't do it for me at all.
Time and money:my only 2 limitations. Just like everybody else.
