Wk, I hear ya. To a degree I've reached that point with deer, specifically whitetail. I could have a nice buck 10 yards broadside and I would let him pass. Much of my hunting is done for the freezer. Elk hunting last year really burned me out. I took 6 weeks off and chased only elk and in the end, I finally broke away for two days and killed a freezer buck. This year I've elk hunted about 5 days and next week leave to eastern Montana for lopers, grouse, pheasant, waterfowl and maybe coyotes for my 8 year old who is going with me. This year I am going to enjoy more variety in my outdoor pursuits. I got away from elkin this year, and I really don't care. There are way to many people on this board who have an unhealthy obsession with hunting. I love to hunt, but family, work, and even other priorities come first. As you get older I think you start to discover there are other hobbies you might enjoy just as much. I'll bow hunt elk a few more times, but if I don't score it doesn't bother me. Hopefully I can get Montana Bob into some elk which is just as much, if not more fun, then shooting it yourself. Take the time you need to prioritize, and if hunting isn't quite in there, then so be it.
