Yep. My group has changed for similar reasons. If you are hunting to close the bar & bring some honky tonk special back to camp - that isn’t what I’m interested in having for a hunting partner.
Hunt hard all day eat dinner have a drink & collapse to get ready for the morning. Help haul when other guys are successful even if you haven’t filled a tag yet - hunt the AM before hauling out your first load. Drag your rifle along to add to the work if you like but help.
Hunt or drink!
Keep them separate, and you'll enjoy your hunting a lot more!
I'm not saying, not to relax in the evening, with a beverage, after the work gets done!
I'm agreeing with,specneeds!
