RE: Where have you most improved?
Very good post. I would have to say my patience in NOT hunting my "honey holes" when I was dying to sit in my favorite stands. That goes along with hunting the wind (which was insane this year). I would only hunt one particular stand when the wind was PERFECT and nothing less. I only ended up sitting in it a handful of times but it paid off for me.
I also was more conscience of my routes in and out of the woods. I didnt' take the "easy" way to my stand in a hurry like I've done in the past. Sometimes in certain situations with the wind and my stand locations I would go well out of my way for what I thought was the best approach for that given hunt.
All in all I mixed up my routes in and out of the woods pretty good, didn't overhunt any of my stands, and only hunted them when the wind was right.
