I love hunting. My son loves hunting. Dad even still loves to hunt and he's in his 80's. Heck of a pheasant shot still.
Have I changed? Yes, I take greater pleasure in my son filling his tag than I do in filling mine. I put his success first when we're hunting. Sometimes that means he tags game and I don't. That's fine with me.
I also don't really care very much about antler size anymore. Except I would like to put a Really Big Mulie on the wall someday. Mostly I'm just after the experience of the hunt, and of course filling the freezer with delicious venison!
Recently I've been making more of an effort to hunt with a camera. I'll likely NEVER actually draw the once-in-a-lifetime tag to hunt mountain goat, bighorn sheep or moose here in Washington, but I can sure use my camera to get them!
Oh, and yes, I shoot coyotes with great glee.
Regards, Guy
