Suffering From Post Hunting Season Depression
 

Anyone else get really depressed when deer hunting season is over? I always get depressed when deer season is over and I have to wait 10 months before the next deer bowhunting season begins and 11 months before the next deer shotgun season begins. My wife will see me mope around and say "Oh knock it off, it will be here before you know it!" I think I need to find another hobby.

I have already done a little scouting for next year, it helps some.

Same here! Don't forget theres always spring and summer scouting!
Since this was not a banner year, just think they will all be a year older and bigger next season!

BH1 I get a little depressed after the season,but I soon start to ice fish.
This year with the warm weather I wiil have to wait a little longer.In the spring it is turkey hunting.In the summer I go out in lake Erie, with my brother, and we fish for walleye's.Yes I would try and find a hobby it will take your mind off of deer hunting for awhile anyway.

Whats really depressing is that we only have a five week season to hunt and get one deer then listening to people that hunt for months and get a whole herd of deer .I guess it really isn't depression ,more like envy . Actualy I think its great ,just wish we had something like that .

I get a little depressed too, but I go out and shoot my bow any chance I can get. Fishing, bowfishing, and turkey season are right around the corner.

Hmmmmm, this must be contagious because I am feeling the symptons. The doctor told me that my prescription is to go scouting and try to get some small game hunting/ice fishing in.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)

I know exactly how u feel. I use too only rifle hunt so the season was short and it seemed like forever before it came around again. Now I bowhunt, rifle hunt, ice fish and fish in the summer so I am always doing something outdoors. I am kind of a rookie hunter, so scouting and stuff is not as easy for me as others, but I am learning.

Well I just take up fishing and golf whenever the season is up. Don't be fooled though, there is no real cure for what you're going through. If there were, we wouldn't love the hunt so much.

Get a digital movie camera, you can take movies or still pictures, then download stills right on your computer. You can hunt deer with it year around, and share big buck pictures with us.

I with ya man. But soon as the flounder and the bluefish get here I will feel better.

This is a good time to hit the gun shows and look for deals from individuals walking around the show trying to unload a gun after the season is over because they need cash.
Also, shoot skeet or trap at the gun club.
Only three months until turkey season.
Plan now!

it's time to get in the woodshop and build some more furniture.
and make a couple of turkey calls.

I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest
