Success is filling a tag. That doesn't mean that a hunt isn't enjoyed, or that it wasn't educational or fullfilling. Hunters are supposed to be unsuccessfull many many more times than not. Filling a tag doesn't even have to be the focus or most important aspect of the hunt. To me it seems like so many people substitute the meaning of success to make every hunt successful. Every hunt can be enjoyable, or educational, or you can experience something great, whether it be the wildlife you see or the people you hunt with. It's ok to not focus on filling tags, but I think people should be more at ease with being unsuccessful, because that is what hunters are supposed to be. Hawks, lions, cheetahs are all unsuccessful more times than not, but they still eat enough to live and its ok.
