I am always learning..........still.

1. Always take my binoculars into the woods. By not doing so last season on one particular day I was undecided and unconvinced that a buck I had seen earlier that morning was as big as he turned out to be. By shooting a nice but lessor buck I missed out on a great opportunity to shoot a 150ish class buck later that morning.

2. Use the climbing stand when I wish to be mobile(such as public land or trying a new area) as I did in past years. One part-season of hauling in sticks/stand and taking them down after every hunt convinced me of this, even though a good straight tree is not always available. Finding an alternate location for the use of a climber in mobile situations generally can be found.
