You need to talk to him about it !! Granted I miss bow season already but it doesn't drive me to drinking or being a bear all the time. I find other things to keep me happy. One of the things is spending more time with the wife and doing the things she likes.
Like iowabob85, I tend to findtheoutdoorseven in the off season. Just never could get enough of it. Golf though??
I live in a very rural setting though and the outdoors is just steps away from my house. I couldn't handle living in a big city. Been there and drinking seemed tobe the only thing for entertainment. I got out!!
You need tofind out his problem.From your post, I doubt he even knows he has one. Communication is the keyto a happymarriage. Use it!! Best of luck!!
