RE: screw all the technicallites!!!!!!!!!!!
Though my wife is WONDERFUL.....and doesn't overplay her hand.......
ANYTHING she deems imortant enough for me to miss hunting.....will keep me out of the woods, that day. HER call.
I can always find a spot to hunt in any wind. It might not be perfect.....but I'm betting I'll see "something". Heat? Won't stop me. Wind? Yep...I'm a climber....and a high wind "might" stop me. Rain? Nope. I'll hunt the rain.
Good luck!

RE: screw all the technicalities!!!!!!!!!!!
When I was younger I was the same way. You are still wet behind the ears and you will learn what is important in life. There aren't to many of us that aren't "hardcore hunters". We all love it. HoweverI wish I would have had the chance for a guy like davidmil give me the advice 7 years ago like he just gave you. Take to heart bud.
As far as the stuff like wind and weather. No that doesn't keep me out. Heat is a different story. I am horizontally gifted (fat) so I don't like the heat. Otherwise hunt on.

David and Jeff and others who have spoken about balance and consideration have it right I believe.While putting in the time gets it done,the wise use of the time you have get's it done also.Choosing to concentrate your efforts when the most elements are to your advantage increases your odds.
Everybody's circumstances are different but I know a lot of guy's who have lost their spouses and families because of the time they have taken away from them.

RE: screw all the technicallites!!!!!!!!!!!
the only thing that will keep me from hunting is death or a death in the family which i would go after and dedicate the day to the lost loved one
i once had a uncle that whent to a funarel in camo and went right after

RE: screw all the technicallites!!!!!!!!!!!
I think matthews outback is talking more about the weather than life issues. Of course everyone will pass up hunting for life issues.
As for weather, NO. You always hear about someone shooting a nice deer on a day when most people won't hunt. And if you aren't in the woods you can't shoot a door.Being in the right place at the right time is way more important that then wind or weather.
