I hope to be considered one of those at the end of my years...
a man who hunted what he wanted, how he wanted,
to each their own, but nowadays so much seems commercial, clowns shooting bambi and jumping around like they shot a world record. Personally I'd shoot a world record and wouldn't be jumping around, perhaps that's just the type of guy I am, or maybe some other reason I'm not sure why. Personally I'd like to quietly enjoy the moment, not be screaming...
to me this golden generation probably didn't have the press we have nowadays, nor the cameras/videos,
when it's all said and done I think it'll be me in my home with my trophies, not press, or magazine articles, reliving the hunts through stories to people who stop by and ask about a hunt etc...
I think most pro's and old-timers, like many greats don't plan their career, they go out and do it/live it, and where the cards fall at the end of it, is what they have, and hopefully it's a great story.
none the less, being out in the woods with a weapon pursuing game, is what it's all about to me, I feel like an old timer at that moment, it could be the 1900's for all I know, when no one's around but the wilds, and it's not exactly safe feeling...but it feels good to be out there living!
