Okay, sorry, now I understand. So something about leading the very active outdoor life you would like to, with a lot of hunting in it, is dangerous enough so that you don't feel you can take the risk. That is an interesting subject. Whenever people with young children and families die climbing mountains or riding motorcycles or riding rapids, it always occurs to me that they were in a way extremely selfish. I know that anyone can be struck by a bus or a boulder tumbling down and crushing your car--life is full of unexpected calamities. But deliberately choosing to engage in known high risk activities when you have people dependent upon you is different to me, and I have a lot more respect for people who make the kind of choice you have apparently made. In a similar vein, my husband wanted to get a motorcycle when we were young. But once Grainette was born, I asked him not to, and he agreed.
