Re: I'm at a cross roads in my hunting career
I feel the same
we go out for a 'hike' and I am always the slowest, 'hunting' along as we go, should learn to leave the binos at home we would see more summits and viewpoints
I arrived at the crossroads awhile back, thinned out all those things I had that I needed just in case
just in case I went to Africa, just in case I went bison hunting, just in case I went pheasant hunting in alberta
Funny money account is large enough that if that case arrives, i'll just go buy what I need
freed up a whole closet and one gun safe
but the desire will never end

I feel the need to pull the trigger less and less every year, but being out there "hunting" puts me in a mode where I think I see and experience much more than if I were just trudging from point A to point B. That's one of the reasons hunting is so enjoyable to me, it's all the stuff I come home with that that isn't meat.
Glad to say I have hunted Northern BC
Simon Fraser had pretty good judgement on what he found in BC
