Modern Hunter Depression
Are we actually going to see a see an increase in hunter depression due to the modern use of trail cams.
How can a hunter spend hours hunting after not seeing a good buck on the trail cam and family owned property, for the last four months?
How can a hunter spend hours on the stand, waiting, waiting, and no buck shows up? And he's got hours of computer pictures showing the bucks were there all summer.
How does a hunter handle not seeing a good buck, or even a deer all day, when he remembers, suddenly, that all those magnificent pictures of deer were posed in the middle of the night?
How does a hunter handle the watching of a magnificent buck on the trail cam for months? Then how does he handle that the buck got arrowed by a sixteen year old archer on the next property? And to make matters worse, the sixteen year old never knew the buck was in the area. The young archer never used a trail cam.
How does a hunter handle the fact that the greatest buck on the property will always remain a digital trophy on the trail cam?
Somehow there has to be a bad payoff, sometimes, to this revolting development, with all this time and money spent studying trail cam pictures.
