Slice,
I can understand your fear or concern. It's scary I'm sure. I have not found myself in a place where I don't want to hunt. I have however, been in a mode where, while I was out there hunting, my standards were so high that I let many (too many) bucks and deer in general walk by. I've never shot a doe...for that very reason, I was, call it afraid that I would take it with no satisfaction and there-fore killed only for the sport. I don't even know if there was a deer in my neck of the woods that would have measured up to my standards. (I hope to get more into this topic later in the year)

I think I've come full circle and this year I'm in a different mind set. I even should have a PA Doe license coming. I plan to take a couple doe and hopefully a nice racked buck. My only Criteria now is he must be one who'll go on the wall.

Perhaps you are not excited yet, because your enviroment changed, perhaps a hunting partner moved or work is keeping you busy or whatever. Once that cool morning air starts hitting your face and you see the leaves changing, with a tiny hint of morning frost. Just the smell of the Autumn that is pending..just maybe the woods will lure you back. If not.. maybe next year..the woods is like an old friend..it'll be there when you need it!
