'06 was BY FAR my best season to date, but I didn't quite manage my goals. I didn't get my first archery buck and was pretty disappointed. On the positive side of things though, I killed multiple deer w/ archery tackle, and could have killed on NEARLY every hunt. I see deer w/in bow range just about everytime I hunt, and that's a real positive in my world.

I saw more bucks last year than the previous 2 combined, so I'm making progress and doing at least some things right.

I've only hunted 2 days this year so far, and once again, could have killed deer on both of those hunts. I'm putting myself in position to succeed anyway, it'll happen.
