For me it is simple.

The deer moved passed me how I thought they would, I went into and left my stand without being notice or detected. I may have even had an opportunity to takea deer, but choose not too. Just being out in the woods is great, but a quality huntto me is; I met my most important goals everytime I go out.

1.Get to and from my stand undetected
2.I don't get busted in stand.
3.Had a good setup to take a whitetail(deer move how I thought they would)

If I go out and No 1 or 2is not achieved, well then it was not a quality hunt to me. I just tipped off the deer I want to kill whereI am hunting.

Yes I enjoyed being in the woods, but unless I meet my goals it is not a quality hunt.
