I am feeling that way these days as well - I would still drop the hammer for that one big buck that strikes me as special or any decent bull elk as antlered elk have forever eluded me.... but I get more joy these days watching the excitement in my wife or daughters' eyes when they are successful!

edit - the above only applies to big game - I will still happily pop any predator  or the damn ground squirrels that keep tearing up the mountain behind the house!  :chuckle:


LOL..! For sure!  :IBCOOL:

I mostly look out my front window for general wildlife.
These days I don't see much .
The story did make me think of all the critters I've seen out of season.
Then never seen again.
Giant WT during elk season or giant muley during late WT .
I guess those moments are when I wished I had a camera the most.
But I've always been lazy, always packed bare bones.
Was into trail cams,digiscope for awhile,then it gives you the desire to share.
Social media and hunting is a dumpster fire.
I know in my hunting career,I've let a lot walk right out of my life.
For one reason or another, even kept them a secret and didn't hunt them myself.
Not sure I can leave the firearm behind.
But as I get older , I like to take only three rounds.
One in the gun ,two in my pocket, I always tell my wife when we leave the truck.
We better make that first one count,if we see a critter that doesn't like us.
She thinks I'm crazy.
As age sets in ,I'm just so lazy I won't even load the magazine.....lol
Maybe some day it might be a camera,I'll probably kick the bucket before that.
