I am burnt out too...9 outta 12 days of rifle, all bow season, now preping for any days I can get out after the Chirstmas.
You will not find a bigger proponent of deer hunting on this site all year long, I live it, I try to fire people up for it all year here...buring out is part of the ride (more now than ever), like I said I am burnt out, but i still believe in the magic of that one moment turning my season around. Has that lead to year's where I get nothing but defeated ,yep the last 3 in fact. My body does not want to deer hunt anymore I know, but come late January I know it it is all I will think about again til October when I head back out after them.
You are not alone in burning out my friend ...I am
30 years in the game, yesterday I went to what I thought was going to be our late season gem spot...no sign at all, no time to come up with another plan. I gotta go regardless.
I have never killed a deer with a flintlock...so I pitch it to myself that this must be the year to change that. ANything I can do to go cause come all seasons close, I know what feeling I will face once again for months.
