I just like getting out with my recurve and having some chances to get a shot off in the late season. Its all about getting out and feeling like a 12 year old again.  :)

The woods is a beautiful place. The idea that anything can happen keeps me going. Last year i filled my tag in the first 5 minutes and the year before it was the last 5 minutes of late buck when i filled my tag. (True story) never know what might be in the next canyon over. Around the corner. In the thick ex. I think most hunters get joy out of being outside and getting the chance to be out doing things other than work. If hiring a guide in Montana or Idaho like said in OP was an option for you maybe you could do so then use what you learned and bring it over to the east side of our state. There is animals in the areas you have mentioned, but spreading out getting maps of public lands and exploring new areas has been crucial for my success. Another thing is hunting isn’t for everybody. I’ve never thought about giving it up all together. Hope you stick with it and get the success’s you intend to. Feel free to PM me. I’m often in central Washington area and live in the tumwater area. Good luck!

I hunt mostly weekends and some evenings as work is challenging to get much time off. 95% west side. I stay motivated because I love it. I feel being in the woods, the wonderful sights, smells, sounds and experiences is good for my sanity and soul. Plus I love the chess match of harvesting animals, especially mature animals and I enjoy bringing different natural bounties home to eat.

Images such as those attached keep me motivated all year long. Every year.

If you’re considering quitting maybe it’s just not for you but if you’re failing over and over again you should consider completely changing your tactics. Or hunt a different season at least that will be something new and exciting. Go pick up a muzzleloader and give that season a try.
I like getting out and getting it done and find if you just get out and hunt hard you will be presented with opportunities. I don’t understand guys that go for the camping trip and driving there expensive toys around the woods all week but to each there own.
