lets just say this. one of the most successful hunting seasons i've ever had was last year when i didn't harvest a deer, but i spent almost every day in the woods with my dad having great conversations.there is no way any of you can convince me that was a failure.
But what did you succeed at? You failed in killing a deer. You can still have great memories and time afield with family but fail at your hunting. Or has this aspect already been covered here [:-]?
