Stages a sportsman goes through

[arkansasbowhunter]

I had some more time on my hand and was just reflecting back on myself and wondering if others were like me. When I started hunting if it was brown it was down. When fishing if it was big enough to keep I kept it and always strived for the limit. As I have matured more as a sportsman I started seeking more quality than quantity. I find myself deriving more pleasure now watching the deer or watching a child or friend harvest an animal. I have helped many a friend harvest pope and young bucks with archery. I derive more pleasure now watching my kids, others children, or friends catch fish. I enjoy the fellowship more and more between friends and my desire to keep a lot of fish has dwindled. I find my passion and fire to be on the water or in the woods sharing the experience with someone more than being alone. What have you guys and gals experienced throughout the years. Are there any goofballs like me.

To answer your last question, NO! I think its called age but everyone has what makes them happy and as long as its legal then we should be respectful of others who may not see or do as we do.
