I had to think on that quote of Roosevelt's. And I'm sure that's what he intended.
As to envy: I do not envy Boddington. Not at all. I would never be satisfied just being normal but celebrity status is not for me! Generally speaking, I don't have much use for the human race. Too destructive. Last thing in the world I would want is to be bothered by a phony bunch of suckass sycophants everywhere I went. What kind of a hunting experience involves dragging along a troupe of fanboys, camera crew, etc? Blech! My most memorable experiences hunting are countless solo ventures into the wilderness. Second last thing in the world I would want is to be in a financial position where some company can tell me how, when, and where I can hunt and with what equipment. Yeah, I took orders at the plant for my paycheck but when I walked out the gate I left behind taking orders, concrete, steel, and pollution. I could grab my gun and my dog, and head for the fields. Be myself for myself. No, I don't envy the influencer. In fact, I pity him. Being in the field/bush is about freedom from the obligations of humanity. Real freedom. Not playacting.
