Bronko, I realized relatively early in my hunting life that if I wasn't enjoying it then I didn't need to be out there. For a period of time, due to work schedule, that meant I wasn't hunting in the morning. Getting off at 11 pm, sleeping 4 hours, then getting up to hunt just wasn't fun. So I adjusted, hunted my off days, and would hunt days I worked as well but just wouldn't start at daylight. Sometimes when hunting I feel like taking a nap.. so I do. My goal in hunting is to enjoy every minute of it, and if that means an afternoon nap with the warm sun on me, so be it (I'm only 25 but I do enjoy a good nap!)

It's rough when you're not seeing any game, but I can't really say I've ever had a "bad" day in the woods. I'm sure you know what I mean. If you're feeling burnt out then take a break. Take a walk for some squirrel, something different might help.
