get a hunting dog, you feel obligated to hunt with it. it is what they are breed to do. I've got two, a labrador and a jämthund (spitz type)
I was feeling under the weather last week, stressed out at work and I was not going to hunt during the weekend just relax, I had poured myself a stiff one. and I wasn't on call for any roadwork (help the cops with traffic accident with game) but the call came anyway and I was just about to down my drink and say: no I am not on call and have had a drink: but then I looked down to my dog and saw that she was ready to go (she thinks all phonecalls are work for her)
so I threw on some clothes and grabbed old betsy (I almost always use my old rem1100 on roadwork) got to the scene and released my dog and took of, the boar had trashed the car that hit it but managed to crawl several hundred meters, but she went for it. the happy look of the dog when she succeds changed my plans so I went out Saturday,
took it easy and just relaxed at a wind shelter we have, some friends released my dog, the try several patches and get some deer moving, shoot a fox that my dog got to retrieve but I stay at the wind shelter just stocking the fire and having a nice cup of coffee nad grill some hotdogs
the move closer to me and release my dog a final time and she got some deer moving, they call me over the radio and tell me to post at a road because its moving that way, I moosy on over and wouldn't you know it a nice small buck waltzes over and he eats 36g of lead.
So now I have New Years Eve dinner done
