Well its like this,
Theres always going to be some smart ass hot shot or so they think around! its not just your area, its everywhere! Now since you dont have your father you have to pick it up and do the work! What does it matter what anyone else thinks? Your accomplishments are your own and just because you dont get there acknowlegment doesnt mean ****! Do your thing and dont worry about anyone else and when then open there mouths and the trash starts flowing, just remember thats all it is, is trash!
Always look at it this way, it could be worse! At least you still have the opportunity to get out and hunt! Theres guys out there who unfortunatly cant! So just be grateful!
