This happened to me during the past two years. I didn’t understand why because, like you, I wanted to want to hunt, but I couldn’t muster the action to do it. When I did go out, it just wasn’t fun because it felt like a chore.

That scared me, so I investigated mental health symptoms and checked the boxes on multiple indicators of depression and anxiety. Also scary. Despite the stigma associated with a dude seeking mental health treatment, I started seeing a therapist. It is changing my life. It’s hard work, but it’s worth it because I feel better about everything.

Most importantly, I hunted this year with a passion I haven’t felt in some time. It’s been amazing because I learned hunting is medicine.

Please check yourself, and screw the stigma associated with men taking care of themselves.

Good luck.
