This is almost word for word how I feel about hunting.

I didnt really enjoy hunting that much until I started looking at it that way. You're setting yourself up for disappointment if your only metric of success is a kill. Even if you're hunting primo property you aren't going to kill every hunt. If you dont kill on a hunt/stalk you probably learned something about that area or how what you're hunting moves. Your next hunt might have kill because of the knowledge you gained on your previous hunts. There is almost always a positive to it.
