Exhunters

I would agree with the OP that, for me, cost and access are not the problems. Time is my problem - work, 4 kids and wife, 9 acres, etc.

I still get out 1 week for bow season (elk) and one week for rifle season (deer), but that is pretty much it. No time for any of my other bad habits like fishing, golf, trap, either.

I don't hunt near as much as I used to. I used to make at least a couple of trips each season to northwest Texas for Muleys, and a several trips to a lease I had for a long time down in Coleman county for whitetails, plus knocking around here in the east Texas woods for everything from whitetail to squirrel. Now I'm lucky if I make on trip a year anywhere. It's not a money or time issue though, after 5 heart attacks and a stroke I just don't motorvate quite as well as I used to and hiking through the woods or canyons is a bit more than I'm up to these days. I was hoping to have an excursion later this year to Africa with time for a short hunt, but seems work has decided it's not a good idea for me travel internationally...oh well.

I could kill anything.

And that's why I don't anymore. I just poke little holes in paper, ..

I do help my friends cut up deer when they bring them over,, but I get my cut...

For me it's a non-killing trip I've been on for a few years,, I won't even squash a spider these days.

I should not be saying all this. I don't want many more people moving here.

Good thing I'm on my way already.
