You sound like me last season. I hunted hard last season and can count how many deer I saw on one hand. Needless to say I had no venison in the freezer. Don't give up. I had a great season this year and still have ML to go. I find hunting to be kind of like golf. You swing and swing and swear that you will never pick up the clubs again. Then you get that one 'sweet' hit and you are addicted again. I was pretty down last season, and it took me a bit of time to get pumped up this season, but once I started seeing deer it was kind of like feeling that 'click' of a well hit golf ball!
