the fire is gone

[Sliver]

For years I would get all excited come hunting season,,, could not wait to get out there. Then I got a crossbow and joined this forum WOW, the information I obtained from certain members , that just got the fire burning even more. Well this year is a whole new situation. Off for the next two weeks on holidays, and I do not even have the desire to get out.. no fire in the pit of my stomach. nothing I forced myself to go do a sit last night.... It just does not feel like fun anymore, I don't know why? but I really hope that changes.. someday....

Good luck to all this season


Take care

I sure hope the spark ignites a barn-fire. I been hunting these Tick Toters fer 48 yrs & still ain't got enuff of it!

I know some folks in your position. Most of them are disgruntled from having property stolen (cameras, blinds, stands) or dealing with people just walking anywhere they please. Many of them think it's just not worth it anymore to go through all the hassle.

I sure hate to hear that. Hope you get that fire back. I can't imagine not hunting and enjoying it. My problem is that I enjoy all types of hunting but there isn't enough time to hunt everything I want!

I know you may have already tried this, but maybe change the type of weapon you use and make your hunting more challenging? For example, take up traditional archery and limit your shots to no further than 20 yards. Or only hunt mature bucks, etc.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

You need to down one. The adrenaline kick of having one in the crosshairs with re-ignite the fire.

Sounds like good advice!

I hope whatever you have isn't contagious...

Sorry to hear that the fire is dying. Maybe give it a couple more cracks and seeing a deer or putting the crosshairs on one will get that fire roaring again!!

My season starts in September. I get the same way after Thanksgiving. By then I am just burnt out. I have the fire burning again after the holidays.

Nothing rekindles the fire to go hunting like hitting one (or two) with your vehicle.

My fire isn't as hot as it once was. Could you and I have the same problem? Old age!

Maybe try a new area. I hunted area 84 for 10 years. Over the years the orange army moved in & even though we had permission harrased us & more or less forced my group to seek other areas. I have discoverd better deer hunting closer to home in area 92 & have no desire to go to 84 for the Rifle hunt anymore.

one way to get the fire back is to take a new hunter under your wing, teach a kid how to hunt it is very rewarding seeing theyre excitement when they have success and you get to share that with them

Sorry to hear that; I am 50 years and my fire is burning hotter that it did when I was 20 and it was way out of control back then... .. hope all comes back;

[OkXbowHunter]

Sliver...I think I've found something to get your fire back. You just need one of these and I'm sure you'll be raring to go hunting again....If this doesn't get your fire going...I'm afraid nothing will



























Srsly, I hope you're feeling better!
