To be a Trophy Hunter is a commitment, many won't understand or desire
I don't know what I'll end up hunting, Bob/Greg....but the "commitment" parttwists me a little. Some people have many other greater "commitments".....and they surely give them (that hunter) much greater happiness than pursuing a deer.
Hunting's personal....and what we take from it is "ours" and "ours" alone. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Two year sin a row I've tried to go a certain "route" with my hunting....and taken the fun out of it....two years in a row. Talk about regrets
. I'll figure it out, yet
GMMAT I think you have already figured it out. I enjoy hunting for the friendships I have formed more than anything. I enjoy spending time with my children processing a deer, or sitting in a ladder stand together talking. And boy if that talking might scare off a trophy deer so be it. My friends and family will not remember me for the size of antlers on my wall, but for the quality time I've spent with them.
