I deer hunt to pass time until next turkey season. Shot lots of deer and it became very anticlimatic because there was nothing "special" (to me) about the deer. Now I only care about getting a bigger rack than my previous biggest. I really don't care what anyone thinks of that because I hunt for me and not them. Do the same thing. Hunt for yourslef I mean. Hours alone in a tree stand and you should answer to no one but yourself.
