Sounds like low testosterone to me. 
I'm 63 and I was feeling the same way and my doctor said my testosterone was low so I been getting shots. Actually, I been giving myself shots so I don't have to go to the doctor every 3 weeks. Now, I'm back out there at every opportunity.

I guess I also have learned for experience. If I wake up and its raining - I don't go. (except for turkey - because for some reason they love being out in a light rain) It must keep their dander down and get rid of the bugs that bother them. When I'm archery hunting I seldom still hunt. And in rainy weather I've found that deer don't move too much. But right after a day or two of rain, I try to be out there.
Honestly, I'm out there for the pure enjoyment. If I happen to harvest an animal all the better. But I don't want to get sick or be miserable doing it. Besides, when its wet, I can't hear. My hearing is just about shot.

Sometimes it's difficult to distinguish "slowing down" from wisdom & experience. I recently turned 55. Nowadays I hike fewer miles and climb smaller mountains yet I encounter and kill more elk than ever before in my life. Getting older and wiser isn't all bad!

20 years ago I'd hunt every single day of bow season, no matter what the weather was. Now that Im more experienced I know not to wear out my stands befor the rut starts, I hunt when I should and dont go when I should'nt, and my success has gotten better.
I still hunt every single day of our regular gun season and late ML season, except if it's pouring rain. I may go out for the first hour or so and last hour if it's raining hard, just so I said I did go, because ya never know.
