Hi Dan,
My goal for my rifle season was to take a particular deer. That goal was unrealized. I am a competitive person at heart, I hate to lose. I don't know why, but some people have a hard time admitting failure. I dont, I learn from my failings. It makes success so much sweeter. When I drop that boss buck next year, the fist pump will be way awesome.

Look at it this way...the last day of the season when I was walking out from that last afternoon hunt. I was bummed because that deer was still walking...success doesn't bum me out, failure does.
