I'm going to ruin your Canadian thread!
Funny you posted this because just today I was wishing I lived in the mountains or up north when I could hunt truly wild places. Most of the places I hunt here in Oklahoma are close to roads and railroad tracks, and homes are never far away. Just today I was hunting a spot in a rock quarry. There was heavy equipment making all kinds of noise just 75 yards from my stand. The deer are used to it, but it just made me long for a place where you can't hear anything but nature.
And as for the weather, the colder it is, the more excited I am. It adds challenge and adventure to the hunt. I dream of bow hunting in the snow, something I've never done before. Now, I'm sure if I had to put up with brutally cold weather all the time, it would probably get old.
And as for seeing tons of deer... Not where I hunt. I know there are many places in the Midwest and South where deer populations are high, but I think seeing tons of deer is the exception, not the norm, for most of us.
Anyway, the old adage is true ... The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence! Every time I start feeling negative about my hunting opportunities I try to remind myself how blessed I am to get to go at all. Thankfulness is powerful!
