Thanks for the replies guys. Although I'm thinking about sitting this year out, I have told my son that when he's ready to learn how to hunt I'll buy my license and teach him. And my gear is all ready to go, so should I get a change of heart this year, I can go. I really don't see it happening, though. Not this year at least. It really scares me, though. I mean, hunting is just always been part of me. I wish I could put my finger on it and figure out why I've had this sudden change of heart, but as of yet, I can't figure it out. I do know that hunting is always something I've done to relax and let go of all my frustrations, but within the last several years, I've been getting more and more frustrated while hunting. It's probably the same frustrations most of you have faced, trespassers, finding it difficult to obtain/keep private land, finding time to hunt and still get my duties at home fullfilled, hunting on public land, ect, ect. Like I said, i don't think it's any one thing, just alot of little things, I guess.

But thanks for the encouragement, guys and good luck to all of you!
