I look at it this way: I have been granted the privilege of being on some land for a purpose, which is to hit vermin and stop crop loss. I therefore try to do my best on each session.
However, sometimes I come away with nothing, other times I do well. On the trips that I do badly I've enjoyed my being there - one sometimes sees things in nature which others are not privvy to.
But I remain focussed as to why I'm out there. The day that I start to questioning whether I should or should not cull rabitts for example is perhaps the day that I should stop hunting.

I also think that if you are not making an effort then there will always be someone else ready to fill your shoes - as the saying goes.
