For me, my "route" has continuely changed and will keep doing so until I can no longer hunt. The things that made me happy for the last several seasons will gradually shift to a different area in the up coming years. As I near retirement, I plan on owning my own land in an area not known for huge bucks but where the people are great. I plan on getting my enjoyment from seeing what I can do with my own place, living it year round.
Understood, Greg. Good point. I guess I still need to find myself and where I fit into this subject.
What I'm doing ain't working, though (mentally and physically). I'll regroup for '09.
You don't learn this stuff over night Jeff, none of us do, not even the big shots. Give It some time man!!! Next year It might only take a few sits and you'll be done! I've been there done that on not seeing **** for decent bucks. Then the following year my ass Is on fire and there running wild but just not quite close enough. You've said It before this buck hunting Isn't rocket science. Care to change your thinking on that one?
If all the work Is taking the fun out of It then maybe you do need to change your hunting ways but It's not always going to come easy. I'd say 70% of the time you will have to work your tail off to get what you want. That's bow hunting for ya!! Good luck In what ever you decide to do and what Is right for
you!!
