So over the last couple years I have hunted less and less, and have came to a point where I no longer have the fever to go. Don’t get me wrong I still love seeing deer and watching deer. I just don’t have the urge to pull the trigger anymore. I have harvested some very nice bucks in my 46 years and have gotten where I would much rather let them walk in hopes a kid or senior will harvest them. I feel like I want to be in a club like majestic outdoors, that has a ministry through the outdoors. It feels like god is pulling me by my heart to go this new route, and I can no longer avoid it. This has been weighing heavy on me lately and just wanted to talk about it with y’all, maybe even some advice
Let them walk ...and grow them big

Sound's like a great option to have a positive Christian influence and be a disciple for God! Also sounds like God is speaking to you and it is time to listen. I will pray for you that God gives you the clarity you need to move forward with his desires for you and best of luck if this is your calling!

I got to that point and now it is all about getting meat or management to me. Unless there is a particularly nice buck, I just don't get the heart race that I used to when seeing deer. I found that the way to remedy that is to take a kid. Their excitement is infectious to me and I love it again.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Once you kill a few it's just not as fun. The fun part for me is thinking about the trip, planning on where to hunt and being out there. The anticipation. If I were in a position, id focus on taking kids hunting who doesn't have a dad that enjoys it. There's a lot of kids out there that can't go because of that. As my son grows older, I realize that all the kids I see....have no desire to go. Hunters are dying out and not passing it on to the youth. Probably because land is scarce.

I appreciate the input, and have made the phone call to my club president and I am done after turkey season. I have taken kid after kid after kid hunting, including my own 2 kids. I done ran out of kids to take. Crazy strange how I was feeling about doing something different and now that I have officially made the call, I feel like a truck has been lifted off of me. I am super excited about the next chapter and spreading gods works through the outdoors

I have the same pull going on as you. I feel God is leading me different ways than I previously planned in my life. I don’t intend on getting out of my club but I feel where I’m at in my life is not where I’m supposed to be. I intend on following through with wherever He may lead me. Can’t make decisions now due to some health issues that have arisen that will need immediate attention. But once I’m beyond that I can’t wait to see where He leads me. Good luck on your new road. God will absolutely put you exactly where He wants you.
