What I mean is, the general trend on the outdoor minded boards is for those who do and have to post about it, and for those who don't and haven't to read and envy in silence. This may be right, but... but why can't the other end of the spectrum have their say too?
HD, from your post I get the impression that it rankles you somewhat that others post about hunting trips. I am sensitive to that feeling by some who may not hunt, or go to shoots, etc., and always wonder if I am projecting a "look at me" image when I post about a dove shoot or duck hunt. The thing that has kept me posting such is the positive comments from those who have repeatedly said they greatly enjoy reading about others' exploits in the field, because of their inability to participate. It is quite believable to me that there are some who can't participate and resent others being able to do so.
A new baby is one of the greatest gifts God gives a family, and takes a back seat to nothing. You are extremely blessed to have him, and have my congratulations. I would say that there are those who "have and do" who should, and may, be envious of your position as a new father. You have every right to have your say that you will not be hunting anywhere, or buying/trading any guns.
My apologies if I have ever stepped on any toes by sharing my blessings with those not able to get out and do for themselves. It was never my intention to brag, I despise that.
