RE: What makes for a successful hunt?
Great responses all. I agree that it is totally a personal experience. What makes for a trip a success varies with each participant. I never meant to insinuate that there is no remorse in unfilled tags. I'm sure my friend had remorse in not filling a single tag on our high priced trophy hunt. Yet, he still concidered it a success. Two seasons ago we went on a hunt to Montana. I killed a nice Muley while my partners (3)all killed elk. I was disappointed that my elk tag was unfilled. It wasn't until a month or so later that I could get past the disappointment to realize how successfull and lucky we had been. I appreciate everyones honesty, and hope that everyone takes my post in the manner in which they where intended; just a honest sharing of thoughts with no judgement.
