I learned never to get overconfident. after last year i thought i had this whole thing figured out. this season was the toughest ever. even though i filled 2 out of 3 tags, i've never had to work so hard in my life. i also learned to be more patient while trying to get my 10 yr old son his first bird. I also learned that the excitementthis sport stirred up in that young man can make me feel like a kid again!
