Well, this year I got my motivation in May from a scouting trip to Illinois.

I'm a little different in that so far I haven't had difficulty getting motivated. I did at first when my son bacame a Marine and my main hunting partner was temporarily gone. I guess I see it now as keeping the 'flame' alive in anticipation of him being able to hunt with me again one day. You need something to hope for, so hope foryour Dad'sfuture hunting companionship like I do for my son's! That might just work in your situation!

I wish you and your Dad the best!!!
