RE: Losing my desire to hunt
Muley, I lost the so called thrill with the rifle, unless its a huge mule deer buck. I have made the switch to archery gear, and it has put the sense of accomplishment back into the game, when I can put it all together. Hell, I lost count of the big game animal killswhen I hit around the 50 mark, but I still get worked up when an animal is laying on the ground because I got it with a stick. The hills are quiet and the weather is warm. The challenge was put back into the game. When the feeling goes away, I will switch to a longbow, just to put the challenge back into it. Good luck.
