It's no secret here that I've been having problems at home. In short, selling our just purchased place in Alaska to attempt to pay off our current mortgage, followed probably with selling our current home and then splitting up for good. Arguments followed by some talks leading to more arguments. Sooooo.... It's been archery whitetail season since October 1st. Haven't even bought my tags. Working 6 days a week and would actually rather just sleep in on Sundays instead of climbing into my ladder stand watching the woods wake up. Never really was a good evening place to hunt. I have 3 firearm and muzzle loader tags and haven't put in for opening day off from work yet. Our 3 day season is in 4 weeks. Not even getting excited for it. I just don't know if I even want to go at all. Still have the better part of a whole deer in the freezer so I really don't NEED more meat. I could go out and get one to give to my father who doesn't hunt anymore but I still just don't have that "urge" to do so. Depression? Maybe. Probably. Don't know, never felt like this before. I always LOVED getting out to hunt and "get my head right" in the peace and quiet. Meat for the freezer was a nice bonus but still the goal to begin with. Always wanted 2 or 3 to get by and have enough to make my jerky and salami. Now, it just doesn't seem all that important to me.
Had anyone else gone through this? How did you find your way out? This is not how I imagined my fall to be like. Even without an archery kill yet I still would have been out a few times trying. Can't even say I've really missed it. Now I'm getting even more bummed out! Sheesh. I've only met a couple folks from here but many seem like friends just by reading their posts. So I thought I would throw this out there and see what happens. Give me advice, tell me to suck it up and move on, whatever. I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks.
