There are many more hunters that choose not to including me. I could do a lot more out of state hunting if I put hunting over family. Pretty soon I would be single again with that mind set...and yay, hunt even more! But I feel sorry for the guys who think that's the way to go. I have yet to meet a buck that gives me the happiness or stability a family does.

I took the original post to mean hunting comes first. You can hunt circles around any family guys with that mentality. I'm not advocating that its just a fact.


I agree. This is a purely hypothetical case, because I found myself thinking (as I imagine more than a few have on the beast have), "what would be realistically possibly in this scenario, assuming I could dive close to 100% with a clear conscience." No harm in a little imagination.

No harm in thinking. Fun planning stuff to do, hopefully you could make it happen... (if it was what you wanted to do)

And I chose the same path as you. Your one of the guys that has the "efficiency" thing down to a science.

I have never met a 70yr old grandpa with grandkids that says "man I wish I had hunted more instead of having children".
