annika....I think you're taking me too literally. I'm talking about hunting the same animals....the same ways.....in the same places....over and over again. At some point....wouldn't it become redundant (no matter your success rate)?
I see me hunting them for years to come. I also see me LOVING each year. I'm just going to have to switch things up to keep it interesting. I've already decided a few things I'm going to do differently next year on the same gorunds I hunted this year. I also see the day when I hunt a LOT more (maybe exclusively, some day) with traditional gear. Maybe switch it up from year to year? Maybe hunt deer with one....turkeys with the other? Hnt from the ground? Hunt a single deer? Hunt different species, here (coyotes/fox/etc...)?
I'm not burned out (by a long shot). If anything....with my season drawing to a close in a few weeks.....I'm invigorated! Next year (and the rest of this one) holds many "unknowns".
Whitetails in NO WAY "bore" me. Hunting them the same old way....would lead me to burn out REALLY quickly.
I guess I dont mind paying some money to have different experiences hunting, because I've seen first hand that even whitetail act dramatically different based on location.
EXCELLENT counterpont, Ed.
