Perhaps I am more dense and less sophisticated that others, or just easier to please, without all the specific differentiations.
I ENJOY IT ALL!
Using the above definitions, i think I'm simultaneously a hunter, shooter, dogman, and semi-collector. I say "semi-collector" as i shoot all of my guns, none remain closet queens.
When I can hunt wild birds I do so, and enjoy out-of-state travel. Before and after the legal bird seasons, I shoot preserve birds, and train my dogs on preserve birds. In the off-season I shoot at lots of clay birds, and even hit some.
Not sure there is any purposeful attraction to adhering to only one of the above catagorizations - seems more enjoyable to participate in all four -- as time, circumstance, and funding permit.
