    I am not worried about people using crossbows.

    I am not worried that I don't have the greatest land to hunt.

    I am not worried I cannot afford all the best hunting equipment.

    I am not worried if someone else has it "easy" and kills big bucks year after year.

    I do not care if someone else has a lot more time than me to hunt.

    I used to worry about stuff a little bit....not much, but it effected my happiness in the woods. Now when I'm out in the big woods with nothing but a cool breeze and the smell of leaves, deer or not, I'm more than content.

    I'm worried that one day I'm going to have to take a poop from my treestand and then I'm going to accidentally step in it later when I climb down in the dark.

    Yeah bro... I used to stress the hell out of myself, until I realized I don't have private land, foot plots, top-shelf gear, etc.. and I'm not going to kill a buck every season. It's just not in the cards for some of us. Once I accepted that little epiphany, hunting suddenly became awesome again!

    The older I get, the more I appreciate what is really important. It is definitely NOT killing a deer. But, being able to enjoy the opportunity to get out. Especially with friends and/or family.

    At least that's what I tell myself when I don't get a deer. :evilgrin:

    I hope this is on topic. I really struggled with understanding the original post.

    Here I thought this thread was going to be about not getting pissed when the guy in front of you at Chipotle orders double chicken on his burrito when there was only two scoops left.

    Pointless post, derailing threads, always complaining about crossbows, being a moron, being an elitist, pretending to be your son. #patterned

    Ya know. I never stayed in a thread very long after I noticed IO was making comments. I'm not the "smartest" person around, but I never could quite figure out what his point was. Very negative.
