Losing passion is a natural happening
With hunters they just disappear from the scene. I still hunt but lost my old passion for baseball and basketball. Haven't watch the world series in years. I use to golf and play tennis, but haven't in years.
The thing that appeals to me about hunting, is I do it. And I can do it alone. I rarely watch the professional TV hunters. Of course, I keep missing the chance to update my equipment and spend money. That spending money never appealed to me. I don't have any passion for spending money.
