My apologies, feeling a bit nostalgic.
When I was a young boy, my Father didn't hunt. Nor did my two brothers. I was the singular carrier of that hard-wired recessive gene.
I have no idea of the how, or why.
I remember clearly,
as a boy, walking by a garage one afternoon, and hearing 3 guys laughing and joking while picking Ducks.
Everything about it completely captivated me. I asked all the "stupid" questions.
How do you do this?
Where do you go?
How do you know how to get all the feathers off?
What I wanted desperately was mentors, who were willing to teach and share their knowledge.
Today...our spawn has been poisoned by the internet. They thrive on "liking" and living their lives vicariously through reading what others have done.
Breathtakingly sad in my view.
