Anyone ever loose the urge to Hunt?
Does it come back?

The last 5-6 years my desire to Deer hunt (or anything else) has been dwindling, last year I went and passed on all but one deer(doe for meat). I can honestly say that after 35 years, I don't care if I kill another deer, the bigger the rack the less interested I am in shooting, I just like to walk the woods and watch. Went out last night and had 4 within bow range, how proud that smallish buck looked as he paraded around with his 3 does, I would not have felt right shooting any of them.

I think I need therapy, I've used Traditional bows and compunds, shotguns from muzzeloading to semi auto with roundballs, buckshot and slugs, rifles from 44-40 Winchesters to scoped .270's with many inbetween, muzzel loaders from flintlocks and Civil War rifles to an inline. Stand hunted, hunted on drives, still hunting/spot and stalk, hunted one particular deer all season and wacked a pickup full on a depravation permit, Horn hunted, meat hunted.....Big, small and numerous Deer...

Any hope for me? I still love to walk the woods, especially when there is snow. I'm thinking about a change in scenery...Ideas???
