What is the biggest challenge for you in hunting?

[TomTeriffic]

Health or physical condition?

Finding a place to hunt?

Financial condition?

Not having a mentor to show you how to do things?

Having enough time?

Dealing with laws and game regs?

Not being able to use the guns and ammo you want to hunt with depending on location, season and game sought? For some deer hunters across America, you might have a devil of a time if all you prefer is modern rifles with traditional (necked-down) cartridges and lead-containing bullets to get venision for the freezer. It would not be warm and pleasant in my heart to not be allowed to use a beloved Savage 99 in the deer woods coz of restrictions/bans against such tools for that purpose.

Not getting skunked?

Other?

Dealing with laws and game regs. If I didn't have to worry about those hunting would be way easier.

Time. Short seasons plus caring for my wife leaves me with very little time for hunting.

Wishing I had an unlimited gas budget.

 

[TheTone]

Time, nothing else is even close for me

 

[TheGrayRider]

Government, unlimited laws, and ongoing, overall poor leadership.

Drawing tags is the hard part. Time is not an issue.
Other than that the big challenge is I'm getting too darn old for the hard stuff.

Getting someone to watch my dogs....

 

[Wallow]

Packing out elk solo in mid-60's. Gonna need to start recruiting help.

 

[Gus Chiggins]

Time, both for actual scouting, and hunting

Time is the tough issue for me..... coupled with being a lousy hunter.

Time. There’s never enough of it.

I would be happy to have more time but realistically I can hunt quite a bit locally with a flexible work schedule. My issue is definitely access, I have slowly seen the little farms I had access to erode away (lost another one this season). Some to subdivisions and some to larger outfits. There’s some small tracts of public but it gets hammered pretty good

 

[Sask hunter]

Patience

 

[RyGuy]

Definitely the time. If I could spend a month in the woods for every tag, I would! But alas, I need to keep a job

 

[FairWeather]

All of the above (except the rifle/ammo thing).

 

[ccc23454]

Fuel expenses and lately midwesterners

 

[np307]

Time for sure. Deer season is easier to work around because I enjoy hunting evenings better, but turkey season is tough. Wife's job is the opposite direction of grandma's daycare so it's a real inconvenience to get her to take our son so I can go chase birds.

Big trips are actually easier to deal with since it's completely blocked off.

My lack of patience. I keep wanting to move and explore new places.
