Keith,

I'm younger than you, but I think the most important thing I ever learned is that the only thing everybody on this planet wants is to feel important.

You owe it to yourself, but more so you owe it to the other people in your area now to seek them out find them and share the awesome skills that you have with them. The same way you joined and still contribute here, any of the bass clubs you might have been a member of, any of the outdoor associations. You need to find those down there and get into them ASAP. One of the best spots to start locally will be to find the local breakfast restaurant, belly up to the counter, and make it known Who You Are. I have the strong suspicion you're not the only deer shooting, fish catching crazy man out there. They need more of your kind on this planet.
