Default RE: Define a "successful" season

This last season was as successful as I'll ever be I guess. Me and my Dad hunted land that we own together. Put up stands together. Hunted together. He is 63 years old and had not hunted for 20 years. Before that, he had raised me up hunting and fishing. We both kind of lost interest for personal reasons. Then about 3 years ago I started back hunting. Well, this past season my dad said he would hunt if he could find a decent gun to use. He's on a fixed income(retired) and really couldn't afford even a used gun. I took my electric guitar and sold it, took the money and bought him a bolt action 30 06 remington with a scope. He killed a 7 point getting into his stand one morning in november. I saw several deer and let some pass. I eventually killed doe for meat in the freezer. But just to be able to hunt with him knowing he hasn't many years left was the greatest success for me.
