    How do you contain Hunting Anxiety?

    I know for most of you, whenever you get off of work early or on the weekdays, you can drive over to your land/leases and get it started. The scent away products, the Realtree, make sure your bow is still on, and head to the stand. But for some, we don't get that luxury of being able to go anytime.

    I return once a year, every November or December to do about 1 1/2 weeks worth of hunting. I know for me, I feel it all year round. But I get it really bad once September hits. I start watching Monster Bucks 5-17, Primetime Bucks, Whitetail Freaks, Roadtrips, you name it, I have got it pretty much. I am starting to go all "Ravenous" in the Country that made bow hunting famous with Robin Hood (too bad you can't bow hunt here!). I have about 13 Days left before I leave London Heathrow..........I am ready to set in a stand and hear nothing but the sound of feeders going off, grunting, rack smacking, my arrow hitting it's mark, and the fall of my deer!

    Another Words, I am ready to say HASHIIY-AAA, when I smack a deer.

      The only partial cure for hunting anxiety is doing a LOT of hunting and harvesting a LOT of animals. If you ever Lise it completely, it's time to hang up your bow/gun- you've lost the excitement of hunting.

        In your situation it's gonna be tough. I'd saturate myself with the videos like you're doing and shoot a lot. I know when I first started elk hunting I read and watched everything I could find on the subject. There came a point where I said, "Okay, that's enough. I'm ready." I just didn't want to see or read any more and shooting my bow kept me until the hunt. Good luck, brother. I feel your pain.
