I'll never, ever quit! It is who and what I am!
BUT I have backed off on the intensity level a bunch over the last few years. I guess it's because I'm hunting with my kids, and other peoples kids.
If Tater Tot wants to sleep in, instead of getting out on a cold morning it's OK, I'll sit in camp and drink coffee
If a 16 year old Hntrchk is having fun putting sticks in the holes of Dad's hat that's OK too
If they want to sit by the fire until all hours of the night, I'll hang with em
I want my kids to enjoy their time in the woods. If I was still the driven and intense trophy hunter I once was I don't think they would be interested in going. I still love getting a biggun but that is not the top priority anymore
Someday maybe they will have the fire I used to have and I can get some of it back again, but I really like where I am now
