Hunting

I have yet to get into the right frame of mind to want to do any type of game hunting. For starters, I have to get out of bed especially early. The weather is also generally cold and often rainy this time of year. Thats two strikes right there. I spend enough time outside when needed, I enjoy my time inside when possible. I have enough beef from a cow we butchered that I don't want or have any room for any more meat. I wouldn't want any more to eat. I also don't think I can get myself to shoot at another animal. Killing for sport does not appeal to me. I also don't think I can shoot straight enough to actually hit anything. My eyesight is very horrible to be able to do that.

Some of my friends from college are visiting this weekend to do some hunting. They are both from the cleveland area, and love having this much acreage to walk around and be outside. Once they realized I was from brown county and what kind of numbers brown county got during hunting season, they couldn't wait to come down to visit. Neither of them has had much luck hunting down here. NasaMatt got a doe one year, but drweber has not been able to get anything. Usually it rains and the game doesn't move much when they are out. NasaMatt has brought his dad down here before to go hunting with him also.

I really don't get all the high school aged people who say they love hunting. Sure, it may get them out of school for a day or two. I find their enthusiasm for something they get to only do once or twice a year a bit odd. I laugh a bit inside when those kids talk about hunting or going out and scout the woods.
