I get bored this time of year when hunting is winding down. I could see how it would be easy to fill your time with not so productive habits such as drinking. Luckily I am an avid fisherman and Turkey hunter so I just have to make it through Jan and Feb until the fishing action picks up.

My wife is cool and doesn't give me to much grief about my hobbies, the only time I hear anything is when I am getting carried away and have not been home much for a couple weeks (ie: Nov 1-14) .

I do agrre with everyone else that the drinking thing sounds like a deeper problem than just missing hunting and he will need to decide for himself that heneeds toget hisact together..
