If you're hunting for a sense of accomplishment, then stay home. Odds are you'll come home empty handed and feel miserable, rather than having enjoyed the experience.
Trembox, I am not nessicarily just hunting for that feeling its something (at least for me) that you just can't help but feel when you do everything right. You put the stand in the perfect place, choose the perfect evening, wind direction etc. It's like working very hard and finally getting a bonus. The whole thing that got me wondering about it was a friend of mine referring to going on guided hunts as shopping rather than hunting. Sure I might be a little dissappointed if i come home empty handed or have a close call with a good buck, but it just inspires me to do it better next time and learn
