I'm 27, and am already at stage 3. I've hunted hard for the last 15 years, and am starting to drop back a little as marriage is coming here soon, and there are so many more responsibilities that I now have with work and everyday life. My hunts are getting to be fewer and farther in between, but when the opportunity comes, I enjoy it for all it's worth - not so much the pursuit, but the moments that I live for, like working a group of ducks and hearing the sound of whistling wings, or having a dozen Candas sail into range like a group of B-17 bombers coming in for a landing. Each sunrise and each sunset brings to mind many memories shared in the field and being that I have gotten a good early start in life on hunting, there's going to be just as many more. I look forward to sharing those moments with great friends and family and taking in sights not seen by most people. For those who have never done it, they cannot understand - and those who have cannot explain it.
