Do you think you'd be a better whitetail hunter if you'd picked it up at 20 and hunted those 14 years?
Without the knowledge I gained from my Dad, Brother, Grandpas, Uncles, Cousins, and Friends in those early years, no, the experience time frame would have been much tougher. (ie., from 20yrs old until now.)
You see, the
intelligence and experience gained, allow me to be where I am today as a hunter.
