It depends on your definition of success. Success is in knowing you went, you hunted and you completed your quest. It's not a competition.... it's an adventure. It's suppose to be fun.

Agree a 100% with that!!

I also agree with this.
HOWEVERwith that said. If you want to add "size" in the equation. You take a hunter that can consistanly take record book deer in an area that isn't known for "big" deer. Then that to me is a "successful" hunter.

I would hold a hunter from SC who consistantly kills 150'', in higher regards that I would a hunter who consistantly kills 150" deer in IA or KS. Why? Because to consistaly kill 150'' deer in SC, you have to know something that 99% of the other hunters don't.

To consistaly kill that size deer in IA or KS all you have to do is put up a tree stand.

There is a guy who lives not far from me by the name of Hugh Gaskins. Mr. Gaskins has taken a 170 5/8 typical that is 3rd in the state, a 170 5/8 non-typical, and has another one, but I can't remember what it scored......All of these deer were taken in SC, two in the same county and all (if i am not mistaken) by bow. Now, thats not only a "successful" hunter. Thats an Idol!!! ((((this is if you are talking about size))))))
