RE: What is a successful hunt for you?
The most successful hunt I have ever been on - to date - was the day that my 11 year old went deer hunting for the first time in his life. Although he shot at a doe and missed it was still the most exciting time I have ever had in the woods.
I look forward to him getting one this year - regardless of how big or small it is. When he gets one - that will then be the most successful hunt for me.
