I'm sorry to hear about the job situation too Game Stalker. We've been out of work for half of the year ourselves. Good luck with the interview and I'm praying that the economy gets better soon. Sure is a lot of people out of work these days.

I'm bumbed out.Lost job in July.Threw off whole season.Haven't been out yet.Usually, when the season ends,I feel alittle relieved,but just as quickly start thinking about and planning for the next one.Job interview tomorrow w/one other prospect.Will salvage what I can.Rabbit,squirrel and extended turkey in Jan.Will be good to get out w/a gun.
So you haven't been working or hunting? What have you been doing?
If I lost my job in July, I'd be hitting the job search extremely hard for a few months. If I didn't have a new job by mid October, I'd be tempted to take a break and just hunt for a whole month.

As for me, I've been hunting hard and working hard since October 1. Saturday is a full moon, and also the last day on which I can shoot a buck because I'm out of town the last two weekends in December.
Given that its a full moon, and the last two full moons I hunted I got completely skunked, I'm very tempted to just stay at home. Its over an hour drive each way for me to hunt, not to mention getting up at 4 am in order to be in the stand before first light. But I know if I don't go hunt, I'll be kicking myself all day.

I was lucky. When I was "downsized" from my engineering job a couple years ago I was 62 years old so I just retired. Still hits you when you go from an engineer's pay to social security check and a couple small pension checks. Then this year my working wife broke her hip and she's been on disability. But I still hunted every day! God will take care of ya! Don't sweat it.
