I’m not sure what to say,or even what your trying to say. But that meat looks real good man. Keep enjoying the #*&! you like, and don’t worry about the little stuff. Try to control only the stuff you can control. Every thing else is just one day /hour/minute at a time. Cook everything!
I'm younger than you, but I think the most important thing I ever learned is that the only thing everybody on this planet wants is to feel important.
You owe it to yourself, but more so you owe it to the other people in your area now to seek them out find them and share the awesome skills that you have with them. The same way you joined and still contribute here, any of the bass clubs you might have been a member of, any of the outdoor associations. You need to find those down there and get into them ASAP. One of the best spots to start locally will be to find the local breakfast restaurant, belly up to the counter, and make it known Who You Are. I have the strong suspicion you're not the only deer shooting, fish catching crazy man out there. They need more of your kind on this planet.
Hey Keith, sorry you are in that rut and feeling down.
Winter is the worst time IMO, for most people.....
Like O-Bass said, see who and what is around you that connects to the things you Love.... Like fishing and Shooting Bambi and cooking up some Good Eats!!
I look forward to many of CTF's members posting in the cold months...keeps me from dropping off the edge...
God Bless.
WAVEWALK DEMO AGENT: Send me a message if you want to try the W500,W700 and soon the S4.
You can take what you want from life......As long as you give a little Back. "We never get over the fishing fever, it's a delightful disease and thank the lord there is no cure". "CTF, is a lure I can not afford to NOT have in my pocket"
Don’t argue with Idiots.. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Our freedoms are being choked, big brother's grip is getting tighter.
Tough to move to a new part of the country. For most people making new friends is a task that takes time and some social interactions. O'Bass had a nice idea, so did others. I have lived in central Pa., Oklahoma, Kentucky, Buffalo, NJ, NYC and now Ct. One of the exciting things is finding new fishing and hunting spots. I even do that here in Ct. by hunting Pa. and NY. This week I am not in Pa. so I am exploring some new Ct. deer hunting spots by using a state land No Lottery B tag. You and I even collaborated on some trout streams earlier this year. You have the personality to make friends easily but it takes associations. Maybe join a Rod & Gun club. Or be a volunteer with the Tn. DEC. No one knows who you are right now so just reach out and meet some people, that won't be hard for you to do. In an area like eastern Tn. folks are probably a bit suspicious of an "outsider" especially one who moves in from the north. Disarm them with your knowledge of fishing and hunting and let them know that your new home was a personal first choice among moves for you and your wife to get out of Ct. Make them feel comfortable by being comfortable among them, a little bit at a time. Pretty soon folks will be seeking you out to do things and you will be so busy you'll have to get a calendar to write down all of your outings.
All good advice above for sure. Keith, do you get any exercise? If not, start now. It's never too late to start. Just check out the links that I posted at the bottom. Plenty of people out there way older than you, staying active, as well as starting out way later.
The overall good feeling you get from exercise might just be the thing you need snap you out of what you're in. Not to mention the health benefits you get. And once you get going, it will definitely help energize you for many aspects of your life, whether it's fishing, hunting, or other activities.
