I kind of got that way a few years ago. The situation may be different but the symptoms were the same. We have open country and big bucks, and I had been used to having alot of acres to hunt. I was also single and could hunt as hard as I wanted to with no one to answer to. Then all of a sudden several things happened at once. I got married and my wife already had two boys that were starting to be the age to hunt, but had no experience, and my wife wanted to hunt too. I lost my big place to hunt and was forced onto a much smaller place with more people and had to change mey methods of hunting. All of a sudden hunting wasn't fun anymore, it was just alot of work,I was spread too thin. I didn't have the time or resources to hunt the big bucks anymore. I knew they were there, and what needed to be done, but I coudn't do it the way it needed to be done. It was just such a rapid shift in my mentality I couldn't make it the switch fast enough. I kept hunting, but it wasn't fun anymore.

Then I did some soul searching and found the things I had been missing, and learned to take the joy out of what was around me. I gave up the trophy obsession,handed therifle over to the boys, and bought a new bow. My oldest son shot his first doe and gobbler. My youngest shot his first doe sitting on the ground with me between my legs, and his first buck (a little fork) a year later on the ground at 25 yards. Hunting is fun again, and I have an appreciation for it I never had before. I have never had as much fun as I have the last two years. Don't worry, you will find what is important to you. There are no mountains without valleys, no joy without sorrows. That is the only way we know when things are good, because we have experienced the bad. Otherwise life would be too dull. Hope this helps.
