RE: Define a "successful" season
A successful season for me is a season that I get to hunt once again with my father.
I spend approx. $500 on a hunting trip back home last year. I took a nicebuck but that wasn't what made it successful.It was successful because Ireturned home, sat with my father on a rock outcropping opening morning, waiting for daylight to break. He then turns to me and says, "I'm glad your here son."
That is what a successful season means to me.
