Age has a lot to do with it. This morning, duck hunting with two friends, we were more interested in fine-tuning my Lab. Two of us never fired a shot. This afternoon, we'll be hunting from lay-out and blind in corn field, only one shooting with his grandson, the whole show for the dog. The killing is still there but I think it's tempered with more reason, stewardship, friendship, the day and the dog than when we were young. Ages 73, 77 and 86.
