    What are your frustrations this season and with hunting in general?

    Just wanted to share what's been going on this bow season so far and little bit about my experience as a hunter so far. I want to ask the GS what has been frustrating so far this season? What frustrates you about hunting in general?

    This season so far for me has been frustrating. Between work being a week to week grind, getting sick, and just not having enough time to properly scout the way I wanted I haven't been successful this year. I realize success is a very loaded word in that it can vary from person to person.

    This is my second year with my own lease, I added 75 acres this year and I'm doing my absolute best not to be overwhelmed with everything. I'm trying to break down choke points and be efficient. The land owner has helped me adjust my thought process and overall I feel I have a decent sense of what I'm doing. There's just this deep rooted urge to have something to show for all the time and effort I've put into that place. I don't know if I'm wanting to make up for lost time or just want some satisfaction knowing I did everything right and have get the privilege of taking a animal. From experience I've come to learn hunting ultimately is your ability to handle failure. My patience has grown a lot from hunting. As much as I've grown and learned about the woods, and myself it's hard not to allow myself to get frustrated. I know I don't suffer alone what eats at y'all when hunting In general or this season?

    Sounds like you just need to roll with the flow and be patient. It's only been "hunting season" for 2 weeks.
    You will see results eventually

      Two things have frustrated me more than anything for the past couple years... Cows and neighbors. We bust our tails making sure we put extremely low pressure on our place, but that is all for not when cows roll through every single hunt. This past weekend there were neighbors all over the reservoir shooting up a storm while we hunted. Not exactly conducive to whitetail sightings.

        that i have to work.... same situation, schedules are just crazy. Every weekend is something.

        Thank God for sick days and half days of fishing. Id be loco without that "me time" Hoping to get some time in the stand once it cools off some. Then, honestly, i dont care if i see anything worth shooting, I just want to be outdoors with my family, away from the phone and computer.

              This season is only 2 weeks old but the outlook at work looks a whole lot like last year. My only chance to hunt last year was the last weekend of doe season. I was hoping this season would be better but it's not looking good. Between supporting projects over the weekends and travel I won't even be able to consider going to the stand until sometime in December.

                  I've had people shoot tannerite while I was hunting. I feel your pain.

                      My biggest frustration....my truck being too tall and making it very difficult to load my personal best 12 point in the back of the truck

                      And the heat, causing me to haul booty to cold storage.

                        Do you get to the chance to hunt hogs when it's not deer season?

                              Heck Man, don't overthink it. I haven't even been out yet, too hot for me. Try to relax and enjoy it more and stress less. Success will come.
