RE: The rest of the year blues.
Bah Humbug,
Hunting season is fun. It's a cool time of the year. The leaves changing, the fall smells. It's all very memorable and exciting. But all good things must come to an end. But yes, it'll come around again next year.
It doesn't have to be so disheartening though. Have you any archery clubs nearby? Join one and if you really get involved you can shoot indoors. 3D outside during the spring , summer, and early fall.
Guess I'm gettin too old but I've started to find bowhunting boring at times. Guess it's called burnout. Just three weeks ago our winter 3D league started. Outside, 30 targets, nothing over 35 yards. 15 Sundays in a row. That takes us into March. There isn't any time to rest the bow, rest the body or the mind. And it just adds to the fun of archery. It's the shooting that I enjoy.
