"It is this anticipation which I find to be important. It is one of the things that those few people who shoot four or five days a week throughout the season miss out on, so I don't end up envying them at all."
I don't know about others but this is not a fair statement in my case. I have guided for waterfowl for 9 years and In January/Feb I hunt club pheasants almost every week. At the start of each hunt, whether I am shooting or guiding, I am full of excitement, anticipation and very eager. Guiding 10 hunts a week for 7 to 8 weeks is very gruelling but it is the anticipation not only of myself but also my hunters that gets me up a 4am every morning to do it again!
