*** *** Over the last few months I've not been able to get away from work as much as I've wanted to and and my personal life has been similar; I take my commitments seriously and other less important things sometimes have to wait. I don't mind mostly, I'm a responsible and disciplined person, but it gnaws at me sometimes and I just have to get away. This has been the case with hunting for several months. I've not been able to get away for much more than a few hours at a time; lengthier shooting opportunities have taken a back seat and I've had to take care of business so to speak - work and personal. ![yriuryueroieuyriorurtoif7589574634yhfrijdfbfd6e489hg.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/galenkp/242NcjW5FPKAjxywFVCxBVcRVdnDroMTS6aQBapEN3cJNb6bS2a7z1Nei5m2jH3qRJyfL.jpg) #### The long shoot A few weeks ago I was able to sneak away for a three day period though. Half of the first and last days were travelling time - early morning on the way out and a late arrival home at the end. This meant two nights of camping and virtually two full days of hunting. Glorious, because I love the silence, the lack of people and the need for self-reliance. I went alone, probably not ideal, but I don't mind and I'm pretty capable so feel comfortable. I had a great time - I knew I would - and came back somewhat energised. I'm back at work now and my busy schedule of flights all over the country has begun so that's be my last "long shoot" for a while but I've got something up my sleeve in a few months which I'm looking forward to. *** Have you ever been in a situation where you've had to put things aside to prioritise other things? I think that's been the case for all of us at some stage. What did you put aside and why did you feel it was of less importance? Explain in the comments below if you'd like to.
