I think I’m done with big game hunting

[Hunt&FishCO]

I can see how someone might move on ….but for me it’s too intermingled with my personality, traditions, friendships, life goals/motivations to ever “stop”.

If I ever lose that drive - I’ll just make the challenge harder (species, destinations, weapon choice).

I would’ve said this same thing 15 years ago. I still have the drive, but the desire to kill has waned.

I’m 63 so now I’ve been doing more bird hunting than big game primarily because they are easier to pack out. I can bird hunt all over the globe and have big adventures with less hassles on how to get the meat home.
I’m currently at Boston airport waiting for my flight to Greenland to go eider hunting.
That being said I just applied for elk and antelope in AZ.

Ps. I pass on more birds than I shoot, I like watching them too.

PLEASE give us a write-up on the Eider hunt !!!!

If we actually had good upland and waterfowl hunting here, then I probably wouldn't hunt anything else.

My bloodlust has waned with my age however my desire to be outside has not. I will always harvest a deer or elk when I can as needed for my freezer only. I also find myself enjoying the social aspects of bird hunting more and more each year. My grandfather introduced me to hunting by duck, goose, dove and quail hunting. I imagine that’s how I will wind my career down for as long as I can.
