Jim - Maybe age has something to do with it. The older I get the less thrill I get out of shooting a bird or animal. My daughter and son-in-law purchased 60 acres of prime hunting ground for quail, squirrel, rabbit, deer, and turkey several years ago. They allow very few people to hunt there so the competition for a place to hunt is nil. Two years ago I bagged a three bearded turkey. That was the last year I hunted. Both spring and fall turkey season coincide with our best crappie fishing and I had little or no misgivings about giving up the hunting for the chance to spend more time crappie fishing.
