Turning my back?

Ok I never thought I'd be saying something likes this so let me apologize right from the start.
How can I start this? Let me start by saying what I kill feeds my family and for the past two seasons I have come up empty.

Now I see do see critters, but its like they know I have my a recurve and stay just outa my 25 yr effective range.
So like i stated earlier its been two seasons now that I've come home empty handed. And believe me the wife is starting to question as to whats goin on...lol.

Of coarse now I think ok... even the wife see's it. Now I am figuring' I gota start bringing home the bacon, but what am I to do?

Which leads me to this post. I am actually considering turning my back on my traditional ways just to put meat in the freezer.
I figure(don't take this the wrong way)that I'll use the advantage of the modern machines...IE range to kill a few does to get the meat stocked up. And when I "want to hunt" use my recurve?

I know this sounds bad...like I said earlier I never in my life thought I'd be thinking about something like this. It's not that I miss the kill; its having the meat to curve the grocery bill that's getting to me.

I'm goin nuts aren't I?
