Years ago I worked in a factory from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. 3 and 4 nights per week. My buddy worked the opposite end of the week. Some nights he'd call me at work and say "Wanna go Coon hunting?" BAM, I was out the door. I knew it would affect my income, but heck, it was Coon hunting and at the time, I loved to hear hound music. Fast forward 15 years. No I have a Wife and Daughter. I don't Coon hunt any longer. In fact, I'm lucky if I get to go fishing a few days a year and hunt Deer a few days. This year, my Wife planned a trip at the last minute with her family on the tail end of my Black Powder week. Guess who had to cut his week off to come home and babysit? What's up with that? Yep, Family and Money have ruined more than one good hunt for me since I've been married! Don Hi Arthur,

Things were so much simpler when I was single.

Years ago I worked in a factory from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. 3 and 4 nights per week. My buddy worked the opposite end of the week.

Some nights he’d call me at work and say “Wanna go Coon hunting?” BAM, I was out the door. I knew it would affect my income, but heck, it was Coon hunting and at the time, I loved to hear hound music.

Fast forward 15 years. No I have a Wife and Daughter. I don’t Coon hunt any longer. In fact, I’m lucky if I get to go fishing a few days a year and hunt Deer a few days.

This year, my Wife planned a trip at the last minute with her family on the tail end of my Black Powder week. Guess who had to cut his week off to come home and babysit?

What’s up with that? Yep, Family and Money have ruined more than one good hunt for me since I’ve been married!

I didn't get to hunt yesterday due to kids' soccer games and a family gathering but hope to have a green light for a least three good hunts this week. I too know how you feel.

I had put away all the cash I needed for my trip to Maine early this year and so far I have spent half of it because of house, truck and other necessities I am struggling to make it up. I am trying to schedule things that need to be done before my season starts and it seems like I have been going straight out and that includes doing side jobs to try and make up some cash. I can't wait for the season to start because i need a vacation soon before I lose my mind. So hang in there, you are not alone. I know exactly how you feel.

The good thing is that you seem to have a positive attitude about it. The other good thing is that taking care of this stuff tonight sounds like it will benefit you in the long run. I'd say you made the right choice. It is a bummer that the boring stuff of life does get in the way. The good thing is that you seem to have a positive attitude about it.

Hunting takes up so many hours that something has to suffer. I haven't picked up the camera or brewed in a couple of months which is unheard of for me. Can't say as though I'm all that distraught over it. :) Preach on. Hunting takes up so many hours that something has to suffer.
