Part of it is the getting up early and sitting out in the cold. While I enjoy venison my wife does not. I often give away a lot of my meat. My shooting interest have diverted to playing with semi auto handguns. I do a little long range target shooting just for fun. I often go out in the evening and spot deer (no lights). I still encourage others to hunt and am not turning against it. Sadly, less and less youth in the area seem to be getting into it. And Sullivan County, PA is a big hunting area....
