Turkeygirl Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 So I don't know what it is this hunting season but before the season started, I was beyond excited to get out hunting! Could not wait for it to start....now 2 weeks into the season and I've slacked off...I've gone out in the morning once or twice in our woods...a few evening hunts...but I just feel kind of blah. I don't know if it is because almost every time I go out, I'm not seeing deer, neither is Andy. Maybe because I'm not in school or busy with a job, I don't appreciate it as much? I dunno...I'm not feeling my usual passion and closeness to God in the woods as I usually do... Now I get excited to check my trail camera...maybe because I see more deer on that,lol. I've been riding and doing projects for mom at home and then time comes to go out hunting and I'm either tired or just don't feel an urge to go out...It's just so weird this year...I feel like both my connection with hunting and God are just blah....where's the spark...

ruttinbuc Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) Only you can answer that, TG! I think not being as busy as you have been with school and stuff might play a role. I know myself that being out of work gives me too much time. I feel the same way this season. Rather than chomping at the bit like I usually do, I find myself forcing the issue to get out to hunt. It used to be tops on the list when I was wanting to get out and relieve the stress of work. Now, if I go, I go. No biggie if I don't.

TBow Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 My reluctance, or rather the drive to get out into my treestand or afoot to do some still hunting, is mostly a result of the lousy weather. I went moose hunting last month, and was as pumped as always to make the trip northward, but once we were there and the weather dropped into the toilet, I was just as happy to remain in the bunk whenever I'd wake up and hear the rain on the roof of the camp. It rained virtually 80% of the time we were there. Archery season for deer opened up here October 1st, and I haven't been out one day yet, even though I retired over a month ago and have all the time in the world to head afield whenever I want now. But the damp weather just seems to have gotten me down this fall. I'm even reluctant to head into the backyard and do a couple chores from my honey-do-list when it's damp and cold. I can take it when it's cold and snowing, but rain just turns off a switch in me like nothing else. TBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I agree even here in my part of NY, the weather hasn ot been the nicest, and when it hasb een nice, I've wanted to get out riding the new horse or helping mom with yardwork!! We did have snow the first weekend of the opener...didn't see much even then... Thanks for the replies guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Maybe you have to think about the other reasons we go hunting. For me the piece and quiet of just being in the woods. The bonds between my family, friends and i that are made during the season. Memories from the past, memories to be made. plus for me this is the time of year i get to spend the most time with my father. now that my son is born i cant wait for the future when he can be out there with my father and i. those are just some of the other reasons i go hunting. But thats just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
