[QUOTE="gtk, post: 5540137, member: 795"] 56 and have been hunting hard since i was 10 or so. My hunting has changed from "hunting everything, every season, all season long and every free minute" to "hunting when i feel like it. And it has been very enjoyable not stressing over whether I killed anything or not. The older I've gotten, the more I enjoy sleeping in, instead of getting up way before daylight. Physically, I can definitely tell I'm getting older (arthritis from injury, joints hurt, etc). i can still hunt extremely hard for a week or two, but then the pains/aches catch up with me. One thing that was nice about living out west and hunting, was the seasons are short and you really can't hunt for months on end. 1 Week elk hunting, a week or so antelope hunting, throw in a couple pheasant hunts, and then its fishing for the rest of my free time. For now, I no longer feel the "pressure" to go hunting and get something. This is my first hunting season back in the south in several years. I was antelope hunting late sept/early oct. Then late oct i went back elk hunting. After that, I didn't hit the deer woods until last weekend. I was busy doing other stuff, and just not that interested in killing a deer, or goin to the cabin and trying to sleep with a lot of snoring old people :) . [/QUOTE]
