If I don't kill an animal at the end of the season, I have failed somehow. I didn't put myself in the position to put all the practice and preparations I made to good use, so therefor I've failed. It may not be a complete failure, as I'm sure to have learned something along the way, gained a bit more experience, and made some memories, but I have still failed.
What, you lost me here..... learning, gaining experience and making memories that should last forever is considered failure in your eyes??? I would say you succeeded BIG TIME!
