Ron Schara: A hunter’s six stages… which stage are you in?

The stages of a hunter’s life was compiled almost 40 years ago in a survey of 1,000 Wisconsin hunters as part of a study by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. (File photo by Dan Ladd)

The young Minnesota deer hunter explained: ‘’I saw the doe come out and I raised my gun. But then her two fawns came out. I’m not shooting her.’
The kid is under 14 years old, so what do you think? Poor decision? Hunting is shooting? Soft heart? Get over it, kid. Sympathy has no place in the woods; shoot the SOB! Good decision? Your decision was fine, kid. Compassion as a hunter is always admirable.
I’m on the kid’s side. And I’m also, as an aging hunter, in the sixth stage of a hunter’s life.
