Actually I dated a girl for 2 1/2 years, she got pissed that I hunted so much. I was around 18 or 19 at the time. She said all I wanted to do was hunt. She was right. So she left me and I got rid of most of my gear being stupid. I have been out of hunting for about 2 years. Now I am back at the age of 22. I am getting ready to get married in june. She loves that I have something that I love doing. She wont go hunting with me but she accepts the fact that this is my life. She just cant wait till season is over. Just if you do get tired of it don;t sell your gear. It cost so much to get back into hunting. I mean buying the guns, bow, clothes, etc. But I can never see myself being out of hunting again.
