Parkerbow,
Dude, it's gotta be fun! If it ain't fun, take a break. Go catch some crappies or something... then you'll appreciate the time in the woods. It can become a grind if you get caught up in keeping up with everybody on here.

I've been there. Now, I realize that I have too many hobbies to spend all my time and money on deer hunting,trail cams, hanging stands... It's great for many people but it ain't for all of us. Now I enjoy just being in nature and seeing deer. If it's God's will, I'll kill a monster. If not I'll enjoy the time away from work.
