When I was a kid, all the big high school kids were big hunters and fishermen, and they were my heroes. They were big and strong and played football and baseball and ran track, and I hero worshipped them. So I grew up to do the things they did. I bought a 270 when I got a little older because my hero had one. That was small town Louisiana America. I suppose life just isn’t like that any more. A dang shame.
In the big city, who are the heroes for the teen boys? Not the same sort of heroes I had. The country kids around here are more like how we were. Well said 603.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR
Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations. RWH

Idk but try and be one it’s all you can do I do believe hunting involvement is on the decline I’ve witnessed it from kids around my kids, 15 and 13 years old

Hell, I'll go hunting with you 603 if you're looking for just a little interaction with a fellow human. I won't even bring a gun, that's guaranteed to make the 9 point show up! I don't mind helping haul and hack after you say hi to him

In the big city, who are the heroes for the teen boys? Not the same sort of heroes I had. The country kids around here are more like how we were. Same. All my hero’s were tangible and all hunted and fished. If you had a game head on the wall your stock went up in my book. But as I write this my 13 year old is on the couch watching his 4th hour of Randy Newberg hunting shows I have hope. He is already dreaming big, talking about hunting in Alaska and Africa. He wants to go on an elk hunt soon and I’ll damn sure take him. Thinking about taking him on a Sitka blacktail hunt as well in a few years. But as much as I’m encouraged by his interest it still isn’t as great as mine was, but to be fair he’s killed better deer at 13 than I had at 23 so maybe he is just waiting on the next conquest
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.
