RE: Frustration
That's the choice you have to make. Is it about hunting, or getting meat in the freezer? Or maybe the frustration of knowing you would have already made a kill or three with a different weapon?
I have the luxury of several friends/neighbors who like to hunt, but don't like to process the meat (one who doesn't eat it at all, but loves to hunt), so filling the freezer isn't a concern. I still get frustrated at times though, usually when I'm out with my bow during rifle season and think about how easy it would be if I had brought a rifle instead of my bow. When that shot finally happens though.........I wouldn't trade it for several freezer's full of meat.
