RE: The fire is gone.
I lost my desire to hunt about 16 years ago. 10 years went by and then all of a sudden it hit me and I was back into hunting like never before. It was fun buying all new equipment and clothing. My wallet wasn't happy but I was when I was out in the woods.
The scary thing now is that I'm really not into it this year. I have all my clothing washed and ready. Bow is ready and arrows have broadheads on them. Areas are all scouted but...
I don't know. I'm sure I will have to drag my butt out of bed and I am desperately hoping that it will all come rushing back when I am sitting on my stand.
Real life priorites take over. Maybe it's not worth the hassle with the wife. Other hobbies take my time. I'm just going to wait and see. I am definately hunting this year and I don't want to let my team down but I will see how I feel to make a decision about next year.
