I was in the same boat when I was your age growing up in northern MN and still am obsessed. Why would you want to settle it down anyway?? There is nothing wrong with being excited about hunting just as others get excited about skate boarding or anything in life. There was a point where I was over the top a little but as long as you don't let it affect your schooling or chores around the house I wouldn't worry about it. Don't get me wrong...I'm am getting wound up today thinking about pheasant hunting in the morning and about going to Montana in a few weeks deer hunting. That hasn't changed. If you live close to the SW Mpls area I'd be willing to take you out hunting. I've got a springer that loves to hunt pheasants and I also turkey hunt in the spring too.
