Fantastic topic!
I learned that you see 20 times the deer during bow than you do during gun, that when you are setting up your stand you must make sure you can shoot through any opening around your stand without hitting a limb full of dry leaves even if you are sure a deer would never come from that direction!!!! I learned that even though you may not get true buck fever, if you forget one thing when shooting you will MISS!!! I missed my anchor point, knew it the split second I released. I re-enforced my belief in setting up stands as far ahead of the season as possible and preseason scouting as much as possible.
The most important thing I learned???? How fantastic it is to take your kids hunting!!!
