Hello everyone. I like to read through this forum here and there from time to time but I’ve only posted once or twice.
I have somewhat of a question for everyone.
I lost my dad last month a few days before my 25th birthday. He introduced me to the outdoors from the time I could walk. We hunted and fished together my entire life. There was a time we fished 40 something days straight. Everyday after school and the weekends. Since his passing my desire and passion for hunting is little to none. The last deer I took was 2015 with my father. This year I’ve hunted, scouted, set stands at least 10 days a month and nothing. Everytime I’ve gone since he passed I just lose more and more interest and it begins to feel like nothing more than a chore and a waste of time and money I don’t have right now. I try to keep my head up and tell myself it’ll happen next time but not having him to call after crappy hunts and In general has started getting to me more and more. In general I’ve kinda lost my motivation and love for the outdoors. I just want to enjoy being outside again and not feel like it’s such a task.
