Must be gettin old
« on: January 01, 2011, 10:08:00 AM »
It's Jan 1. The mule deer season opened at sunrise. I looked at the thermometer -1 degree. Looked out the window. There is about 8" of crunchy snow, and the truck doors look like they are frozen shut. Never before would this deter me. Think I'll get a little more sleep  and see how things look this P.M.

If I get cold and stay cold, I'm miserable. If I'm miserable, I don't enjoy hunting.

Not so sure about that. I've forced the issue before and just ended up miserable. Sometimes it is just beating a dead horse. Especially in the late season.

For years I thought once I retire I am going to hunt all the time everyday of the season.

As I get older hate to say it but after a while you start picking your days. Too cold, windy, suppose to rain, or I will do it tomorrow I have all season. The worst part is I can't get around as well to do it. It is nice though not having to plan around work.

I know the feeling, the wool don't keep me as warm as it use to. Now I look like I'm 4 years old again and mom dressed me up to go play in the snow. I feel like the staypuff marshmellow man. I'm lucky if I can draw my bow let alone hit anything.

Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.

I know I have become more particular about the weather. If it is cold in the morning I will wait until the sun is up and then go. But I hunt most evenings.
