I have worked a lifetime to get good at killing big bucks and now that Im getting pretty good at it it just isnt that important anymore.
In years past I would push myself to total exhaustion and punish my body to extremes like sit in brutal cold and damn near freeze to death.
I still love to be in the woods and Im actually more successful now than ever but I no longer suffer to succeed. It is liberating being comfortable with quitting early on a brutally cold day or sleeping in when I am tired.
There are days where I will get off of stand and do a little scouting if I get bored. I will take a day off if I feel the need.
Some would say I have lost my edge or am no longer hard core. im not sure. I know I am more relaxed and enjoy my hunting more than ever and bucks keep hitting the ground so Ill continue to exploit my weakness!
