Harold, I really love your reply and thoughts and am envious of the time you've had in the field. I feel like I'm too old at 56 to just start discovering these wonderful guns, but heck, gotta start sometime. I graduated optometry school in 1990 and did a residency and then decided I wanted my own practice. It just turned 30 years old and I look back and have done well but missed a hell of a lot of time in the woods and waters. I'm trying to change it. 8 years ago I reached a point of total burnout and headed out with two guns, one dog, and drove to Minnesota alone and rented a cabin in the woods. My wife was MAD. But I got birds, bad shooting and all, and I got back to the grindstone. I am going to just cancel a few days and go to Maine this fall, alone or with someone, as I need it after this COVID year! I keep telling myself "there's always tomorrow" to hunt and fish and I have to start just making it happen. I hope to shake your hand this year Harold and I appreciate your thoughts on this stressful topic.
