I am sorry to hear about your health and your job.....it's rough.....is it safe to say people handle things differently (have different stress levels)? I think so. Last 2 years hunting has had to take a back seat to the rest of my life but I did get some time in the woods and luckily was successful taking a 9 point and a 10 point and a doe puting well over 100 lbs of meat in my freezer. The best I have felt probably this year when I temporarily forgot all of the other crap going on in my life was when I saw those 3 deer coming, taking the shot, and approaching him or her knowing what I just accomplished. Hunting was has been work for me lately....but it wasn't always.....and it won't always be.
