<<Bill, is it possible that as you get older you become more aware of the precariousness and value of life, and have maybe become a bit of a softie about it? It would explain why you didn't want to pull the trigger this year, anyway. >>

It was just a change, probably being too lazy to want to butcher the game was a motivator. Plus I was enjoying watching. I still shoot bothersome critters like the coons that get in the barn.

<<precariousness and value of life, >>

That part hits home. I was having angina attacks for 3 weeks, 4-5 a day. Just like a heart attack. Same period a friends wife stood up from her computer and died at 44. Now my fishing buddy has developed a heart condition, I mean went from really active to can't make the mail box in 2 weeks. I have plans for some fun things and I'm no longer putting them off.
