The current issue of Bowhunter magazine has a story in it somewhat like yours. The guy got so obsessed with trophys, hunting wasn't fun for him anymore. He went back to basics, the WHY of being out there. He started paying attention to the beauty around him again and stopped concentrating on killing a trophy and learned to enjoy himself again.
I love this way of life so much and it is so much a part of who I am that I cannot imagine ever losing my passion for hunting. And making a kill has so very little to do with it. My love of the outdoors is just all encompassing. If you are on this sight i guess I don't have to explain, you know. Slicendice I hope somehow you regain your passion. I know if I lose mine I would lose a part of who I am. If you can't find the passion again perhaps you could spend time with a youth hunter and help instill that passion into someone new to our way of life. Don't let all those years of experience rust.
