I have been hunting for about 20 years. There are some morning during the season when I don't feel like getting out of bed but other then that I have never gone a season without getting into the woods. I am not sure how many deer you have seen or you kill in your three years but that makes a difference. I was hunting a farm for a couple years and was just not seeing much. A couple of does here and there but that was about it. Now I still hunt that farm but have another place that is much better. Having a nice place to hunt really makes a bid difference. For me I like every aspect of the hunt. Last year I hunted by myself due to an injury to my hunting partner and loved it. Dragging the 2 deer I killed, breaking my back to get them into the truck, hanging, butchering etc. Doing it all myself from start to finish is a great time. To me once you kill a deer you are only halfway through the fun part.
