RE: Losing my desire to hunt
Me too. I been here in Colo livign for six yrs and aint kilt as much as a squirrel despite spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars on tag and groceries to say nothing of the thousands of dollars of western slope gas (always .35 a gal more) I have bought. Somehow the law of diminishing returns is playing out here. I hunted 30 yrs in PA andspent less than a thous dollars in all that time on tags. Now I go out at 5am and by 9am I am thinking "why am I here alone?" Everywhere I go now is coyote tracks and coyote tracks and coyote tracks. I really dont think Colo has HALF as many deer and elk as they say they have. ANd they have three times as many coyotes as the game warden( bless her heart) will admit to. Six yrs of tag soup has left a bad taste in my mouth.
Or hell, maybe I am justt gettin old...
