Things have definitely changed for me. Like many, when I was younger I hunted a lot, and was very driven to have success in taking an animal. Today, I know I love archery and bowhunting as much as I did back then, even though I no longer feel I have to take game to be successful. I no longer feel guilty for not being out there everyday of season. Early in my bowhunting career, I realized that the most important thing to me was to enjoy it, and try not to measure my success/dedication/seriousness/etc as defined by others.
