I only get out for coyote specifically 10 to 12 times a year. I only hunt my core area where I live and work and it's really tough hunting around here. Weather and wind has to be just right or you can't get where you need to be. With work, it's pretty hard to get those kind of days when I have time to actually go. Having said that, I'm out and about everyday and am always watching, listening, and learning to make the few times I get to go more successful. I do spend many hours just watching from the house as I can see a couple mile stretch and if I catch one traveling the right direction and can slip out and head it off it's game on no matter what time of year. Got one just a month ago this way. The fur is worthless here so I'm just trying to manage them to keep the deer alive and out of our stock. I do spend more time bowhunting deer and chasing waterfowl and turkey.
To me, like some of you, hunting is a spiritual thing. To just be out in nature watching the world wake up or go to bed and everything in between is my church. It's my time to shut it all off, concentrate on the task at hand, and be with God and all his creation. I often find that I pray alot when I hunt, just sitting there in the peace and quiet with a somewhat clear mind, thinking of those that need HIS help, sometimes myself. Is that wierd?
