Dang getting old is not fun...

The worst part about it is having to check under the covers each morning to figure out which body part fell off during the night! :eek:
 
My hunting lease is 5 minute drive and took my son once and I went once. Five years ago I would have done went 20 times.

Thought it was just laziness.

Headed up to LBL in the morning 4 days and looking forward to it....kinda. :)
 
I used to hunt a few hundred acres with a couple guys. By December, there wasn't much point going because you were almost guaranteed not to see anything. Deciding which box or ladder stand to sit in was the most thought we put into the hunt. I can see where I could get burned out on that after a while. Now I belong to a large club with thousands of acres and there are many challenges to deal with including hunting around other hunters, scouting new areas, running cameras and even getting around the land to access the areas not to mention finding mature bucks. I raised two sons who both hunt but they are preoccupied with their education and family so there isn't much time to hunt with ole Dad. Even though I have taken some good bucks a couple even in the books, I don't feel like I have come close to accomplishing what I want to on mature bucks. For me, its keeping it fun and challenging and sharing it with others.
 
You have established a foundation and gave him memories that he will cherish and value when he gets older. He is at a time in his life when he needs to figure things out on his own and become his own man.
It's all natural.
As far as your fire to hunt, just do what you feel like. Modern day hunting is a recreational past time that most people take way too seriously. You don't have to be in the woods every day of deer season.
