Yeah, I was a bit down, okay, a lot down when the season ended. However, it certainly did not make me lay awake,sweating and feeling cold and alone.
I would strongly suggest that while you await your next hunting trip that you pay your wife some well deserved extra attention that was probably missed while you spent so much time in the field. I bet that will pay big returns in the end. Heck, I bought my sweetie a thank you card and wrote her a nice note thanking her for her patients and understanding during the season. She thought it was a nice gesture and although sending a true thank you...and not scoring points was my objective, I'm sure I did both.
I'm not trying to push my ways off on anyone, but I think that when a woman is acknowledged...for whatever reason...it goes a long way.
Okay, so much for the softer side. Buck up and gut it out man. Next season is on the way. Get out and scout, find sheds, practice with your weapon, take upgenitic engineering and figure out a way to make a bigger hybrid deer for you and the rest of your buddies in FL.[8D] Lots of things to do in the off season.
