The forum has been an outlet. Playing has been an outlet. I have lost my best hunting properties and the DNR introduced coy-wolves all over the state so the hunting properties I have access to are worse and hunting in general has been worse the last couple years. My food needs are less as my metabolism cuts back with age, which fortunately means less venison will get me through the year when it comes to stocking the freezer annually. I haven't ran out yet except when a power outage causes the loss of everything. If it is a hurricane I just fire up the generator but sometimes freezer failure is not suspected until you can smell it. It is too late then. I am thinking of switching to striped bass as my staple. A short drive away from my house, June thru November I should be able to catch keepers regularly. I was trained by one of the best at catching them by casting to them. I very rarely out fished him for stripers but nobody ever out fished him casting for big striped bass. So that is an accomplishment.
