Default My attitude: It's just hunting

I never, ever tried to really convince anyone, that hunting was for a particular individual. I even had a few who were convinced they wanted to hunt, but really didn't want to hunt.
There were things I use to do, that I have no interest in now. I don't expect to bowl, play tennis or golf any longer, and have no problems with anyone interested in what I'm no longer interested. I knew some who hunted, while the old gang was together, but gave it up after moving away, friends moved away; friends move on after marrying.

With all the modern distractions, I wonder how you teach someone to sit quietly in a tree stand, for hours, after they spent a young life with computer games, computers, cell phones, etc. Some of these people, you might as well introduce yoga. I've been using a Japanese archery method for decades. But I don't expect anyone on most modern archery/hunting sites, to know what you're talking about.

Once you get to sixty, you realize a lot of people, just do and did it their way.
