How big of a roll does hunting play in your life?

Hunting and fishing is what do if I’m not working. I am single and childless so my world revolves around my work , hunting fishing and whatever gal I might be dating from time to time. And in that order. I have no illusion why I am a life long bachelor.
 
It was how I fed my family and still feed my wife and I. Think about it? No, I live it.
 
Hunting has been a part of my being since I can remember. My earliest childhood memory is waking up in the bedroom of my grandparents house and looking at the gun rack on the wall. There were 2 model 12 Winchesters, one 12ga. and one 20ga. a Savage 99B octagon barreled .30/30, a Winchester 61 .22 and last but not least, a Winchester 100 chambered in .308.
I killed my first deer with the Savage and it resides in my safe today. I’ve been hunting on my since I was old enough to draw a slingshot or a bow made from a hickory limb. I was deemed old enough to hunt alone with a .22 rifle when I was in the 5th. grade and I’ve been ate up with it since. I turned 68 last November and put 6 whitetails in the freezer this fall. I have had some medical issues that have necessitated some changes in the way I hunt but I’ll never quit.
