No b/c I don't really view it as work but rather hunting!! Personally the anticipation of the hunt to me isdarn nearasfunas the hunt itself. I spend far more hours scouting/preparing than I do actually hunting. I am fortunate to live in a great place to hunt deer and while many don't scout or work at it to extensively, I wouldn't have it any other way. Hunting season is a year around thing for me(just ask my wife), always something that needs to be done andgame are always changing as the landscape is ever evolving. I also hunt many locations and species, while the stuff closer to home gets the most attention I still make my trips elsewhere. I also enjoy just going out searching, a drive with the kids or fam in the country is a regular outing for us. We find neat things (sheds, old homesteads,etc), they learn about nature, spend time as a family, etc. There are much worse places to spend my time andI think of it as when one season closes a new one begins!

I sure won't pass on lady luck either but believe I make my own luck by the time and effort I put forth...getting a good deer don't come by being in the wrong spots very often:&gt!
