RE: What is a successful hunt for you?
I hunt every chance I get. Being out in the woods with family and friends is great. I do not necessarily enjoy havesting deer as I give mosy of the meat away as the family won't eat it. For me the best par is the wildlife and having a chance at a nice deer.
I am very selective in the deer that I take. Managing the deer herd for me is the most enjoyable part of the hunt. I found out years ago that you are usually going to have an unsuccessful hunt if you go expecting to harvest a deer.
I enjoy trying to get within yards of deer, hunting on a ground blind, doing as much as I can do to go undetected. Irf everyone shota deer everytime out, we would have few deer and not many trophies out there.
