I want to get opinions on how your hunting has changed as you've gotten older? I have had a gun in my hand since I was 5yrs old, hunting any bird I could get close enough with my Daisy Red Rider BB gun. Still remember the moment of silence I had on Christmas morning after I had harvested my first and only Chickadee. Still remember vowing to never shoot another. And I didn't. I have hunted or dreamed about hunting everyday since. Even at 50yrs old, my world revolves around preparing for the next hunts. Every yr I pass on animals, because they were too small or it was too early in the hunt, or I had seen something bigger. People always question why I didn't just shoot. It's not about that anymore. Don't get me wrong, I kill things, but I enjoy the challenge physically and mentally. The harvest isn't even close to the reward of being in God's Country and enjoying the grind.
How has hunting evolved for you, and how has it changed the person that you are?
