I do hunt a little bit, and it can definitely be taxing spending hours outdoors is bad weather to sometimes not even see anything. The photography aspect must raise the challenge significantly as you say, because for hunting, the window of opportunity is larger because you don’t need to get a beautiful framing of the subject under and specific lighting or worry as much about obstructions, or perfect focus. Also hunting gear feels downright cheap compared to camera gear! You don’t even get any free food when you’re done taking photos either. 😆
I suppose the taking of the thousands of pictures isn’t so bad, especially with burst mode, but when we look through our thousands of pics on the trail cams, going through all the duds gets boring to me so quickly! I really admire the patience of the photographers, because even if I spent all the money on camera stuff, I could never buy the patience!
That fear of missing that one perfect moment would drive me nuts too! I always hear setting limits for yourself drives creativity moreso than unlimited options does. Not using burst sounds like it might force you to be more thoughtful of shots.

The patience really comes in handy when dealing with clients ridiculous demands haha.
I disable or use the slowest burst mode because then I’d come home with 20k!
