RE: The fire is gone.
I couldn't possibly consider quitting hunting, specifically Bowhunting. It's part of who I am. My new bride will tell you one thing when it comes to bow season, he's hunting. I try to give her 10.5 other months of the year, I ask for 1.5 to do what keeps me alive the other 10.5 months..LOL
Seriously, go back to basics, I don't go sit in a tree because I'm going to kill a buck, you have to figure if I sit in a tree for 45 days, morning, evenings or both or all day, I'm there for the whole experience, the what ifs, the I hope fors, nature, weather, God and body. I love bow season, everthing that goes with it and I pray I never feel the way you do slice, good luck with that.
