I agree, too, with your observation that some may not touch on every stage. I'm quite sure I jumped from shooter to sporter. Limiting out is exciting and makes for great pictures and stories but I believe in eating what I kill. As such, passing on shots I'm not likely to connect makes for a less-than-full game bag but in the spring there's less freezer-burnt bird meat going to waste. Otherwise, I seldom see a feather-bearer look as good or last as long as a fur-bearer when mounted. PS: Great pictures in your article, too! Excellent evaluation.
