I had that problem for awhile I collected guns and had so many I got bored I started hunting with pistols and archery and muzzy if I ever get drawn lol but then I got back the rifle itch I challenged myself with longer range and precision reloading also helps keep this interesting working different loads finding what works with what guns many different ways to keep things interesting
Yes I have same disease. But I don't mind this one vs other health ones I have.

Thanks! Hoping my son has all the luck this time around like his brother did last year, last hour of the last day of our muzzleloader hunt after sitting several days without seeing a buck!

Yup! I'd actually passed him up the year before when he had just one drop tine so that was pretty cool. Long sit today just way to nice out, haven't seen a single deer but I still have about 45 min to go!
Update 3 fawns, 2 does and a forky the last 45 min.😊

Hey @5575
How'd the Canadian hunt end up going for ya ?
Temps in the 50s, low deer numbers because of a couple tough winters and wolves did note bode well for us. But my son had a golden opportunity one evening with a nice 5x5 rightbin front of him at 30 yds. But he was unsure if it was past legal shooting light, when in reality he had 10 min but it was really overcast that night..ugh! Though about running back up this week with rifle actually but there just hasn't been any big deer sightings. I have a chance at a big 5x5 back here at home, sat dark till dark the past 5 days but he was a no show. I have the last for days of season off so hopefully he messes up!
On a better note my 75 year old mom sent me this pic a couple days ago. Her text simply said "got my buck today" hell yea she did!

I took some time off hunting and went over to her place and took a couple pics. Pretty darn proud of her, her passion for hunting is that of a kid still! I definitely know where myself and my kids get it from!😊👍👍
